Package: xfsprogs
Version: 2.8.11-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
This may be "only" grave instead of critical, but it looks to me like it
is a Big Deal and unquestionably RC in any case.
Since 2.8.11's release, numerous xfsprogs problems have been fixed.
Here are a few excerpts from the 2.8.16 changelog:
- Fix up an endian problem for nlink setting in phase 7 for xfs_repair.
- Fix up nlink checks and repairs in phase 7 for xfs_repair.
- Fix up the ring command in xfs_db,
thanks to Utako Kusaka
- Fix up xfs_copy and its variable argument handling
around vfprintf; xfs_copy was seg faulting on x86_64.
- Fix v2 directory checking with holes and unreadable blocks.
- Fix a memory leak in dir2 checking.
Some discussion about this has already occured on debian-devel:

mentions that the latest versions contain fixes for kernel bugs
I *personally* encountered trouble today, which looks like remnants from
when I was running a kernel before 2.6.18. I will likely prepare an NMU
for this in short order.
