Can both of you send the output of "dumpe2fs -h /dev/<disk device>" of
the filesystem in question?  The thing which I'm most interested in is
whether the extents feature was enabled or not.  (i.e., was this a
freshly made ext4 filesystem, or a ext3 filesystem mounted under ext4,
and with which features eanbled?)
