(Get the code!)
Note that there were bugs found that necessitated format changes for metadata checksums in 3.18 --- which was released earlier this week.
E2fsprogs 1.43 hasn't been released yet, and e2fsprogs 1.42 has ***no**** support for metadata checksums.
People who are interested in testing metadata checksums are welcome, but it should be people who are willing to use bleeding edge kernels and it's not **that** hard to build e2fsprogs from the git tree.
Cheat sheet:
git clone git://git.
cd e2fsprogs
./debian/rules
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -rfakeroot
Someone who doesn't feel themselves comfortable typing the above commands, and subcribing to the linux-ext4 list, and be prepared to potentially lose data and send bug reports to linux-ext4, probably shouldn't be experimenting with metadata_csum just yet.
