Hmm, this seems like it might be a troublesome feature... Are we sure
that there is proper kernel/tool compatibility for an extent-mapped
journal? At least none of the Lustre code has any support for this,
though they can handle the INCOMPAT_EXTENTS feature, and I don't think
this was present in older kernels either.
I haven't looked at the code for this yet, so it may be that it will
"just work", but if this is a new feature I would urge caution w.r.t.
compatibility before this is merged upstream (in either e2fsprogs or
the kernel).
Cheers, Andreas
