I am conservative with kernels 
uname -a
Linux localhost 3.4.24 #1 SMP Sun Dec 23 17:47:00 CET 2012 x86_64 AMD 
Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

so that is not a concern of mine. I am more worried about stability. I plan to 
put /var and my data pile on it. While losing the first would be a time 
intensive incident losing the second would be really painful. Even with 
backups.

But it would something I could recover from or I would not waste time thinking 
about zfs - mdadm+whatever fs does work good enough.

Glück Auf,

Volker
