I build a personal Ubuntu PPA for this tools collection (e2fsprogs). I did a snapshot of git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git and used the master trunk maint. I will update my personal PPA monthly or if tytso tells me it's time to do so. :-) I build deb packages for trusty, utopic and vivet and/or you can use my bzr branch for these packages. You can add my PPA to your Ubuntu system with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daniel-mehrmann/admin sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Happy testing!!

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1365874] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 does not support ext4 metadata checksumming
I would love to help with testing of metadata_csum as match as possible. Espesially becouse i waiting for this option so long time. But there are two problem which make it hard to do: - no e2fsprogs 1.43 package even on ppa. - all systems are still created without 64bit enabled. Before testing we need: - add 64bit option to mke2fs.conf by default. - make 1.42 not complain if metadata_csum is enabled. - provide ppa package with big fat warning: don't cry if you test it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to e2fsprogs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365874 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 does not support ext4 metadata checksumming Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In the Trusty release notes Metadata checksumming is listed as one of the tech highlights of kernel 3.13. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#New_features_in_14.04_LTS However, the userland tools do not support this kernel feature.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1365874] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 does not support ext4 metadata checksumming
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 Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to e2fsprogs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365874 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 does not support ext4 metadata checksumming Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In the Trusty release notes Metadata checksumming is listed as one of the tech highlights of kernel 3.13. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#New_features_in_14.04_LTS However, the userland tools do not support this kernel feature.
