Hrm. Indeed. And I'm not sure about that one. I know there's been

Are you thinking about the issue with extra attributes that e2fsprogs once
upon a time couldn't process? If I am remembering the right issue (it's been
a while), that issue has have been fixed in the current e2fsprogs version
that we use with LFS now.
No, the issue reappears every time RedHat adds new attributes. Given
that installation from RedHat is almost always a downgrade, some text
has to be added to the book concerning this subject. I understand that
it is hard to do so with the unknown future RedHat extensions in mind,
but it either has to be done or too-new hosts should be blacklisted
(thus making LFS live CD the only officially supported host - but that's
against the spirit of LFS).
