From my experience you are better off with locking kernel packages at a
known-to-work version in production (e.g. install yum-plugin-versionlock
and do a yum versionlock "kernel*") and test new kernel versions in a
test environment. You cannot rely on made up rules like "minor version
updates will never break GPFS" or similiar; Linux kernel developers do
not care if GPFS works or not.

Someone asked me this the other day and I wasn’t quite sure of the answer: how
likely is it that we will ever see/have we ever seen a kernel update (eg.
862.9.1 to 862.11.6) that breaks GPFS compatibility, or can one generally
expect it will continue to work for 862*?
