xfsprogs: v3.2.3 released

Hello!

xfsprogs v3.2.3 has just been released. This is mainly a bugfix release (see below for a summary). There is a notable change in defaults for mkfs.xfs - it will now make CRC enabled filesystems by default, and you will need to use "mkfs.xfs -m crc=0" to make filesystems compatible with production kernels older than 3.15.

The source code can be accessed via git using either of these URLs:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git
git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/cmds/xfsprogs.git

and the release is tagged with the "v3.2.3" tag to make it easy to check out the exact source used for the release.

A signed gzipped-tar archive of the source code is available here:

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/xfsprogs-3.2.3.tar.gz ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/xfsprogs-3.2.3.tar.gz.sign

The archive is signed with my gpg key (the same one that this release announcement is signed with).

Problems, issues, questions and general discussion about the release should be directed to the XFS mailing list ([email protected]).
