#163 "fsck.ext4: Superblock checksum" error when booting Ubuntu after Windows 10 session
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10 and WIndows 10 64 bit. After a windows session, when I load linux I get an error "fsck.ext4: Superblock checksum does not match superblock while trying to open".
My root partition is ext4 and my home partition is ext3. I find this behaviour strange since the only partition I mount with ext2fsd is the ext3 partition. I do not have to run e2fsck on the ext3 partition.
This may be a duplicate of bug 154.
See my answer here:

Since Ubuntu 16.10 the metadata_csum and 64bit feature are set by default when a ext4 filesystem is created. It seems that ext2fsd does not support those features. You have to recreate the filesystem without those features.

Yes, that solution work for me Thomas...
thank you (and I didn't have to reinstall Ubuntu).
In particular I booted from a live USB for Ubuntu 16.10 (earlier live versions will not work) and then ran " sudo tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum,^64bit /dev/sdXX", along with the commands recommended to me by tune2fs (follow the propts given by tune2fs).
