I would like to test this configuration in my laptop with a slow rotational disk + a small SSD: https://raid6.com.au/posts/fs_ext4_external_journal_caveats/
But, if I understood correctly, I need to configure journal_async_commit for it to be reliable, and that option automatically enables journal_checksum, that it's not available in the current e2fsprogs version that ubuntu 16.04 has...am I missing something? I also think that what Simon comments about the SRU is quite sensible, but if getting a SRU is too hard, would it make sense to open a ticket requesting a backport from bionic to xenial? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365874 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS do not support ext4 metadata checksumming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1365874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
