[Daniel Mehrmann <daniel.mehrmann@xxxxxx>]

I build a personal Ubuntu PPA for  this tools collection (e2fsprogs).

I did a snapshot of git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git and
used the master trunk maint.  I will update my personal PPA monthly or
if tytso tells me it's time to do so.  :-)

I build deb packages for trusty, utopic and vivet and/or you can use my
bzr branch for these packages.

You can add my PPA to your Ubuntu system with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daniel-mehrmann/admin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Happy testing!!

(And don't forget to report bugs to linux-ext4 and help  developers to
get this feature more stable)

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 does not support ext4 metadata checksumming

Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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 :(
