modify mke2fs.conf - default ^metadata_csum for ext4
Currently the USB page has a small notation: “incomplete because of old kernel version: add '-O^metadata_csum' when you create ext4 filesystem.“
While the contents of /etc/mke2fs.conf shows contradictive defaults for ext4
ext4 = {
features = has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,metadata_csum,64bit,dir_nlink,extra_isize
}
Feature request - to protect users from themselves: add the ^ to the feature/option ^metadata_csum so it’s used by default weather the user recalls or pays attention to obvious notations.
(seems uses blame others when they miss an obvious notation or even large Notes at the bottom of a page, or hyperlink text embedded in configurations)

reporter Don’t mean to negate the informational message. Users with an alternative OS may not have that option. Many “tutorials” show using FreshTomato’s CLI (using qualifiers on the command line as well as conf have not negative impact, command take precedence)
I did mark it as trivial - at the least the default
metadate_csum
should be considered for removal since it is a "bad thing" for FreshTomato. For me,, I would likely use gparted and I’m not sure it gives me any options so I would be SOL… I would need the warning in bold -

You’re right, but user can also create ext4 filesystem on different linux machine, so there he must use above option.
