Comment 3 for bug 1598136

Looks like you are using a pre-3.18 kernel with e2fsprogs 1.43.1. I'm guessing this is because whatever cloud service you are using is using a very old kernel? (In contrast, Yakkety Yak is using a 4.x kernel.)

What kernel version is this cloud service using, anyway? I want to make a mental note to stay far, far, far away. :-)

We'd have to see the exact kernel version to be sure (and there should be some hints in the log messages), but at a guess, try building the file system with "mke2fs -O ^metadata_csum" and see if that fixes things for you.
