[11:09] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[18:59] <blueyed> Is considered (quite) safe to use a backported Q kernel to Precise?
[18:59] <blueyed> I am mainly interested in btrfs improvements.
[19:07] <bjsnider> blueyed, how do you mean safe?
[19:07] <bjsnider> in terms of data loss or something?
[19:08] <blueyed> yep, and considering differences between P and Q, where P would not like a Q kernel.
[19:09] <bjsnider> all you can do is try it
[19:09] <bjsnider> there are no guarantees either way
[19:09] <penguin42> blueyed: There will be bugs in all kernels; now the chances are there have been less people trying the Q kernel so it might have a really nasty bug that not many people have found yet that might do something bad - but there again if it has known fixes for btrfs....
