I'll try to get core dev's attention this week; it'd require a Feature Freeze Exception (FFE) now to get v1.44.0 into 18.04 but as an LTS it would be better to have it from the start - and decide on the default installer/mkfs flags now rather than have users suffer later.
>From that we could possibly release it to 16.04 xenial-backports. Not sure about 14.04 trusty though. The latest kernel for 14.04 is v4.4 (the GA 16.04 kernel). -- 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/1601997 Title: Ubuntu 16.10 installer sets metadata_csum option on ext4 partition which is incompatible with other LTS Ubuntu versions Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 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.
