To explain the e2fsprogs git branch naming scheme in terms of Debian releases:
* maint == stable (and currently has a few bug fixes beyond what is in 1.42.12, although it's unlikely we will have a 1.42.13 release unless something really serious comes up) * master == testing (and has the inline data and metadata csum feature support) * next == unstable (and every few days to 1-2 weeks master will get moved up to the current unstable before I add new commits) * pu == experimental (not currently active) After 1.43 gets released, master will track 1.43 development for a while, and then maint will get renamed oldmaint, maint will get reset to master, and master and next will start tracking new development for the eventual 1.44 release. We have not decided yet whether mke2fs will create file systems with metadata_csum and inline data by default in the 1.43 release series, although the answer is "probably not", at least not at first. Individual sysadmins can edit /etc/mke2fs.conf to change the defaults. (File system developers tend to be *very* conservative, because while users will tolerate kernel crashes, bugs that lead to data loss tend to make end users very cranky indeed, and we try rather hard as a point of pride not to avoid such eventualities.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348431 Title: -O inline_data not supported by Ubuntu e2fsprogs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1348431/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
