stridder -- the HWE kernel in 24.04 is at 6.11 now, and will roll to 6.14 kernel this summer (at the next "dot" release of 24.04), rolling again post 25.10 release to 6.XX, and finally to post 26.04
Are there any specific kernel related commits needed in the HWE kernel(s) we should include? The challenges with filesystem tools and kernels is capability matching. for btrfs-progs, they follow the upstream Linux kernel releases. On one hand, Ubuntu follows an LTS idea, which is to say "updates to programs should be made with targeted bug and security fixes." We do have release exceptions, and because of the matrix of support in filesystems and kernels, it makes sense to me to move btrfs-progs (and possibly other filesystem tools) with the kernel. What that means in the short term is TBD. Changing to a rolling release with the HWE kernel will be a new stream that we need to figure out. It means moving ahead of Debian on a regular cadence (as they move with the matching Debian kernels, which change during unstable phases and do not match Ubuntu releases). tl;dr I am interested in getting an "HWE" stream of filesystem tools rolling, but it's not insignificant effort and may be a bit out. In the meantime, we'll have to figure out specific targeted fixes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2115454 Title: btrfs-progs-6.6.3 in 24.04 1.5+ year old.
