Can you check with "-T largefile" and without -T for completeness ?

Yes, I have performed the additional tests you requested for completeness.And the block size output for newly created partitions are as follow:

Thank you for taking the time to test.

root@debian:/home/usr# /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | grep "Block size"
Block size:               4096

I guess this one was created without -T ?

root@debian:/home/usr# /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/sda4 | grep "Block size"
Block size:               65536

And this one with "-T largefile" ?

The results are the same: the Trixie installer was unable to use either partition without requiring a reformat.

The partition created with -T largefile was incompatible.

This is expected if the block size is 64k. However I guess -T is not widely used.

The standard ext4 partition created without any -T option was also incompatible.

This is unexpected if the block size is 4k, and much more annoying. What is the error message in kernel log ?
