As we've always done in the past, we've waited for around a year
after upstream kernel support for a feature has been supported
before turning on the feature by default in xfsprogs. Kernel 3.16
was released just over a year ago with full CRC support. Our hand
was kinda forced by distros independently enabling these features by
default before upstream enabled them, so we enabled it a bt sooner
than previous feature default changes.

Clearly we (upstream) have no control over what distros ship and
enable. We can't stop distros from upgrading userspace out of step
with the kernel they ship, nor can we stop them from changing
default feature enablement. However, it's up to the distro to make
sure that the userspace package and the default configurations they
ship work correctly with the kernel they ship.

i.e. if Gentoo are shipping xfsprogs 3.2.4 w/ kernel 3.14.51, then
Gentoo has a quality control problem - they have failed to verify
that the packages they are shipping work correctly before shipping
them to users...

Cheers,

Dave.

just want to report that with vanilla-kernel 3.18.19 all is fine again.
