FELLOW KNOWN ISSUES
===================
* With `fellow` storage on XFS, spurious read errors - most likely

fix, please support the project and let us know, see _CONTRIBUTING_
in `README.rst`_ for details.
For best performance, it is recommended to use `fellow` storage on a
raw device.
* On Linux with ``io_uring``, by default, `fellow` registers all of
the memory cache as buffers using
:ref:`io_uring_register_buffers(3)` to achieve optimal performance
