That would have to happen at mkfs time ?

My /etc/mke2fs.conf begins by
[defaults]
base_features = sparse_super,filetype,resize_inode,dir_index,ext_attr
and later has
ext4 = {
features =
has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,extra_isize
How can i inquire whether these features are in effect ?
The memory of my hardware provider, who created the filesystems,
will probably not be of any help after 5 months.
(Somehow my /var/log files are only a few weeks old.
Where would i set a longer retention time ?)

I have the latter with Solaris and heartfully hate it.
Not that it would eat data, but its administration is a pain
for the elderly self-admin.
Well, one has to accomodate to modern regressions.
After concurrent SG_IO slowdown and failure of media recognition
with automatic CD tray loading, this is the third blooper.
(None of them is yet proven to be caused by systemd, to my
big surprise. :))
Have a nice day :)
