Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.10 installer sets metadata_csum option on ext4 partition which is incompatible with other LTS Ubuntu versions (12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS).
Steps to reproduce: 1. Download Ubuntu 16.10 installation media. 2. Install Ubuntu. 3. Try to do fsck -fy /dev/sdX1 from other supported Ubuntu distro. Expected results: User can check and fix errors on ext4 filesystem, created on Ubuntu 16.10. Actual results: User can not check and fix errors on ext4 filesystem because of lack of 'metadata_csum' option in previous LTS Ubuntu versions. The only one working solution was to scan from 16.10 live install media. Note: it is known, that Dan Watkins disabled metadata_csum when creating ext4 filesystems ( see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daniel-thewatkins/maas-images/fix-yakkety-builds/revision/305 ). It is good solution.
