e2fsprogs unstable
I'm currently facing an issue with mkfs from e2fsprogs package.
Context : On an alpine machine, I've got a partition on which I added an ext4 filesystem through the mkfs command. Afterwards I put into this partition a new distribution (I tried with a rocky and ubuntu image). When rebooting into this new distribution, it fails on file system consistency verification :
fsck: /dev/vda3 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12
and I'm moved to the initrd.
Literature : I've found some people having this issue and I found this bug report on ubuntu launchpad : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/2025339
Temporary fix: In order to fix this issue, I've currently modified /etc/mke2fs.conf
by removing the problematic file system feature FEATURE_C12 and it actually works.
I also find out that in previous versions of this package, those features were disabled by default : https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/commit/main/e2fsprogs?id=fbb670c0d42a7e22ca60af8e325439c4b919bfaa
Why it is not the case with the last version (1.47.0) ?
