Steve: Given what you say, can you consider Tytso's request to put 1.44.0 e2fsprogs into Bionic. This allows for not-enabled-by-default for support of 2 extra ext4 flags in e2fsprogs, thereby avoiding this situation happening again for 20.04 with respect to THOSE flags... As TJ- said, be good t

This has been evaluated by the Foundations team and we do not intend to diverge from upstream's defaults for 18.04. The incompatibility between LTSes is not ideal, but is secondary to being able to improve the filesystem defaults across LTS releases. ** Changed in: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) Statu

2018-03-14 Thread Simon Iremonger
Initial comments from the email:- a) There is some confusion over "metadata_csum" with/without "64bit". -- Those who have 'reverted' are usually reverting BOTH flags [as I've done some places], not just metadata_csum. My understanding is 64bit is of no benefit except support >16TB fs and to st

Can we pay-attention, to this thread (now) being about considering the feature-flags 'used by default' in mke2fs.conf, in consideration to 18.04 -- [linked bug for e2fsprogs]. We know massive 'compatibility'/portability benefit of formatting the same as previous-LTS by default, as the required e2

E2fsprogs 1.44.0 now depends on dpkg build-profiles, which means that getting it backported to 14.04 LTS would require adjusting debian/control and debian/rules a bit. For 14.04 LTS, I'd urge consideration of going to e2fsprogs 1.43.9. This will get you most of the latest bug fixes, including s
