FWIW 'this seems to WORK in bionic, including "make fullcheck" on the source, system able to check itself on boot, resizing other system disks, no issues so far as I can. Thankyou for agreeing//doing this so quickly.

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.
