Note: if you want to use inline data, please strongly consider using the
upstream kernel; there are a lot of bugs that we're only now shaking
out.

Title:
  -O inline_data not supported by Ubuntu e2fsprogs

Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since kernel version 3.8, ext4 supports the file system option
  inline_data to put file content into the inode itself as an extended
  attribute. However, this feature cannot be enabled using the included
  e2fsprogs in Trusty Tahr. If it has been enabled for a file system,
  boot e2fsck fails.

  Support for this is currently being worked on upstream in
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/log/?h=pu . Adding
  this bug to track when this is merged into mainline and/or the ubuntu
  e2fsprogs.
