Its tears so far Nik. There are so many differences just in the ext4's used that one of them should be renamed, they will NOT cross mount, ext4 disk to ext4 mount.
Hi Gene!
When you cannot mount the ext4 partions from one another, then there is something very wrong. ext4 can be mounted as ext2 and that should alway work - at least, if the drives and filesystems are ok.
No, you are wrong. There were options added to ext4 which made it incompatible with older kernels. And a few years ago they made this options default. Debian wheezy kernel (3.2) would not mount ext4 created in debian stretch.
Hi!
Now that's a gotcha I did not know. How did it come that this was thought of beeing a good idea?

Yep. Exactly my thought when i spent 3-hours with a server refusing to boot after migration to a new hdd (i used a stretch flash to copy). Who the fuck toughs it was a good idea?!! Why not call it ext5 or ext4a or whatever?!!
