I'm in the process of installing gentoo now, in the hope of getting it to |
2 |
work more reliably (and more up-to-date) than Debian. Debian's 2.6.18-3 |
3 |
kernel includes backported msync-optimising patches from 2.19 that don't |
4 |
work properly and have the effect of sometimes causing serious file-system |
5 |
damage. (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401006 if |
6 |
you're curious about gory details). |

What I was wondering was whether a similar misfortune has befallen |
9 |
gentoo's 2.6.18 kernel, or whether gentoo's kernel developers have just |
10 |
left the 2.6.19 patches in 2.6.19. |
11 |
|
12 |
Maybe I'm being silly asking about this, but I have become paranoid about |
13 |
severe file system damage. |
