Public bug reported:
In the Trusty release notes "Metadata checksumming" is listed as one of
the tech highlights of kernel 3.13.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#New_features_in_14.04_LTS
However, the userland tools do not support this kernel feature. To the
best of my knowledge this will be supported in 1.43, and won't be
backported to 1.42.
IMHO this is very misleading. It's like a car salesperson sold you a
sports car with an V8 engine. After you drove it home, you opened the
hood and realized only 6 cylinders are working because 2 of the spark
plugs were not included, and you have to buy aftermarket ones.
<rant>BTW, I've been following the development of e2fsprogs for over a
year. 1.43 release has been in limbo for God knows how long :( </rant>
