I'd put that in the "you know what you're doing" category - just meant more as advice in general. Yeah, I had that headache for a while with amdgpu + zfs. Last longterm didn't support it well, and zfs takes time to catch up with new stable releases. So I was hopping around on stable releases and crossing my fingers a lot until 4.19. Fortunately amdgpu has settled down some - it was tending to panic quite a bit six months ago. Once 4.19 has support then you should be set - just stick with that as long as they continue to support it with fixes/etc. Hopefully they'll backport improvements until it is in mainline. -- Rich
