Title:
FFe: e2fsprogs 1.44, support for largedir and ea_inode
Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
e2fsprogs 1.44 landed in Debian unstable on March 8, missing feature
freeze / Debian import freeze by about a week. Per upstream
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1365874/comments/17),
1.44 includes two new not-enabled-by-default features which would be
good to have available in the 18.04 userspace: largedir, and ea_inode.
This is a rather stable and well-maintained codebase with stable
interfaces, so I believe the risks are small to taking this post-FF.
The one known change in behavior relative to Ubuntu 16.04 is the
enablement of metadata checksums by default, which is a change we
already have via the 1.43.9 package, so shouldn't count against an
FFe.
The main (but still small) risk to the release from taking this change
would be disruption to image builds / installation as a result of
broken tools. This would be detected fairly quickly through our
automated image testing, and if any regressions are introduced we
should roll back the e2fsprogs update immediately.
