what the actual f*?
tag name v3.10 (bc1b510b8979ecc322f8d930dde56658967b7355)

Even with stable fixes and CentOS distro sugar on top, running 3.10.x in 2020 feels batshit crazy. I always thought such reptilian kernels are only found on shitty embedded devices...
- anthk 6y agoWait until you find 2.6 (not many changes before 3.2 allegedly) and 2.4 kernels in embedded systems.
- eqvinox 6y agoI'm well aware of 2.6 in embedded systems (and have to work with such systems T_T), I just didn't expect to see 3.10 in a system that also runs ZFS...
- chousuke 6y agoRHEL kernels are like that. They backport a ton of stuff and the major version number is of little relevance, but it doesn't change because they maintain a stable kABI. By now the CentOS 7 kernel is probably closer to mainline 4.x and 5.x than the original 3.10
