The "metadata_csum" feature changed in an incompatible fashion since the Linux 3.* kernel we use on sparrow, for example. This means that loop-mounting the ext4 on a modern Linux system and modifying it will result in a filesystem image that cannot be mounted by sparrow's kernel.

The error message in question is:

[  156.079616](CPU:0-pid:235:dmesg) JBD2: Unrecognised features on journal
[  156.079639](CPU:0-pid:235:dmesg) EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p29): error loading journal

Marked as draft until I've actually built and tested this on sparrow...
