Comments? - Ted On-disk format definition for group descriptor checksums - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM (0x0010?) - store a crc16 checksum in the group descriptor (s_uuid[16] | __u32 group | ext3_group_desc (excluding gd_checksum itself)). This allows the kernel to more safely manage UNINIT groups.
