A new feature orphan_file was introduced: https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2109.0/02009.html The old <sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0 tools recognize it as FEATURE_C12 Systemd will stop booting and halt in emergency mode. One will find similar lines in the log: Mar 27 04:02:05 hp systemd-fsck[209]: /dev/sda3 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12 Mar 27 04:02:05 hp systemd-fsck[209]: e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!

Our current LiveUSB system is affected too. I do not know, if other packages besides sys-fs/e2fsprogs need an update too. We can close it, when sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0 is stable and LiveUSB is updated. Reproducible: Always
I think you probably created that disk with a newer version of e2fsprogs, it's not because of the kernel version.

Unfortunately, support was added in the same e2fsprogs release which enabled it by default. By changing the defaults as Debian has, we give people a chance to upgrade their initramfses, live media, etc, so they can actually mount partitions created by such a new e2fsprogs. It feels wrong to have to do this but I don't see much other choice. At least we're in good company.
