Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.2-2 Severity: wishlist E2fsprogs 1.42 release notes says: >This release of e2fsprogs has support for clustered allocation. This >reduces the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and >deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks, >which are called clustered. This is a file system level feature, >called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the file system is >initially formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older >kernels.
