Thanks for the fix. I am the upstream for e2fsprogs, so I'll make
sure it gets into a future release. As far as getting this backported
into 1.41.12-4stable1, it's a pain in the tuckus to get patches
backported into stable, especially when the package is used by the
installer, and I'm not sure the stable release maintainers would
consider this bug important enough to be worthy of a backport.
After all, I don't think the stable kernel understands
EXT4_DEFM_DISCARD anyway, does it?
Why don't you just compile a newer version of e2fsprogs for stable?
We may never get it into stable release, but it should work just fine
there. After all, there's a reason Debian Stable is known as Debian
Obsolete. :-)
