Subject: e2fsprogs maint branch and metadata_csum option

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
