I shall think myself lucky. Converted the |
| 17 |
majority of my file systems (var home) on laptop, desktop and qemu to |
| 18 |
ext4 a few weeks ago and was rebooting like crazy last night on 3.5.7. |
| 19 |
with my desktop after losing ptys, network and keyboard when downgrading |
| 20 |
openrc. |

Shall reverse and make sure backups are in place. |
