Sorry, I did not mean it that way at all, I apologize. I do appreciate all the work you do on your subsystem, I was not criticizing that at all. I was just trying to make a bad joke that it felt like no xfs patches should ever be accepted into stable kernels because more are always being fixed, so the treadmill wouldn't stop. It's like asking a processor developer "what chip to buy" and they always say "the next one is going to be great!" because that is what they are working on at the moment, yet you need to buy something today to get your work done. That's all, no harm ment at all, sorry if it came across the wrong way. greg k-h
