With Linux 3.5, it should be possible to use ext4 metadata checksums;
enabling of which should be made with the following command:
# tune2fs -O metadata_csum /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
Setting filesystem feature 'metadata_csum' not supported.
Running kernel 3.5, tried the latest e2fsprogs from git.
What am I missing here?

Hi Tomasz,
Could you please checkout the 'pu' branch in e2fsprogs? You need to
use pu branch of e2fsprogs because the patches of metadata checksum
for e2fsprogs are in this branch.
BTW, until 3.5 kernel, it seems that metadata checksum still has a bug.
Here is a patch to fix this bug [1].

Regards,
Zheng

OK, tried with pu branch and got this:
root@s9:/usr/src/e2fsprogs# misc/tune2fs -O metadata_csum /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.42.3 (14-May-2012)
rewrite_directory: Unknown code kJe 176 while rewriting directories
Expected?

No, it seems that it is not our expectation. Could you please provide
more information? Such as feature list. Use "debugfs -R
'stats' /dev/${DEVICE}" to get it, please.

The file is over 200 kB, so uploaded it here:
