Hi,

My xfs_repair is bit old- 2.9. version.
I'm considering installing latest available. But just worried because this is my production server and has some custom apps built into my OS.

Is upgrading xfs_repair a high risk?

Also do I need to install latest xfsprogs or anyway only to upgrade xfs_repair from the package?
I'm only would need xfs_repair mostly, so doesnt matter to me leaving others-mkfs.xfs etc in xfsprogs at the old version if that minimises the risk...

Any thoughts?

if you really want to try newer xfs_repair only, just build an xfsprogs tree and run from inside the tree.
