Note that there were bugs found that necessitated format changes for metadata checksums in 3.18 --- which was released earlier this week.
E2fsprogs 1.43 hasn't been released yet, and e2fsprogs 1.42 has ***no**** support for metadata checksums. People who are interested in testing metadata checksums are welcome, but it should be people who are willing to use bleeding edge kernels and it's not **that** hard to build e2fsprogs from the git tree. Cheat sheet: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git cd e2fsprogs ./debian/rules dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -rfakeroot Someone who doesn't feel themselves comfortable typing the above commands, and subcribing to the linux-ext4 list, and be prepared to potentially lose data and send bug reports to linux-ext4, probably shouldn't be experimenting with metadata_csum just yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365874 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 does not support ext4 metadata checksumming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1365874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
