Alex,
I've added the source tarball into BLFS/files/sources on anduin and
added the following immediately below the package information block:
{warning}{para}The XFS developers regularly remove the current package
when a new package is available. Unfortunately, this has led to severe
incompatibilities in the past due to kernel version requirements in new
versions of the package. Using a version that has not been tested by
BLFS developers is strongly discouraged.{/para}{/warning}
Granted, that requires that the editor responsible _tests_ the package
correctly...ugh. Sorry. :-) Anyway, Is that sufficient warning, or
should it mention the specific errors (lazy-count=1, and unmountable
file system...) to drive it home?
