Yes, this is a shortcoming in tune2fs. You can set extended mount
options using debugfs:
debugfs -w -R "set_super_value mount_opts foo,bar" /dev/sda1
... but there ought to be some way to support some kind of quoting
mechanism so that tune2fs can understand when a comma is part of an
extended option value, as opposed to separating extended options.
Extended options haven't been used much, so it's not been something
that has gotten a lot of polish. Backing up for a bit, is there a
reason why you need so many mount options when mounting the root file
sytsem? Specifically, why do you want to turn off dellayed allocation?
