In today's concall, I reported an e2fsprogs maint branch test failure I'd
just seen with Ted's xfstests-bld harness. When running the
metadata_csum,64bit scenario, the result was an immediate mkfs failure with
the following diagnostic: Invalid filesystem option set: metadata_csum,64bit
The metadata_csum option alone was enough to trigger the error. However, a
look at the maint branch code suggests that it doesn't contain the
metadata_csum support found in the master branch. I'm guessing my
expectations about the current state of the maint branch were wrong and that
we'll pick up the metadata_csum feature on the merge to master?
If so, there's no bug here - sorry for the noise.
Thanks,
Eric

Yes, the metadata_csum feature will be in the 1.43 release. I've
deliberately not included that in the maint branch, which is for the
1.42.x maintenance releases.
