61 <caution><para>The XFS developers regularly remove the current
62 package when a new package is available. Unfortunately, this has led to
63 severe incompatibilities, including
64 <ulink url="http://bugs.debian.org/465737">unmountable filesystems</ulink>,
65 due to kernel version requirements in new versions of the package. Using a
66 version not in the book is strongly discouraged. Additional information,
67 is available at the
68 <ulink url="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/">XFS</ulink> project
69 page.</para></caution>
