ext4

Hello.

tune4fs can use many undocumented (I mean they are not yet in man tune4fs) options for ext4 filesystem. For example, huge_file, flex_bg, dir_nlink, extra_isize and some others. Is there a comprehensive list of them with description what each option does?

Most documentation or sites will say use "tune2fs -l " to check if the system will do fsck on the system partitions on next boot, in particular, should look at "Mount count" and "Maximum mount count" values.
