Description:
According to the release notes [1] and Debian manpage [2], tune2fs version 1.45.3 should support at least setting (and possibly clearing) the casefold flag of ext4 filesystems. When trying to do so with the binary provided by Arch, I only get an error stating the feature is unsupported. Setting the feature right upon creating the filesystem (mkfs.ext4 -O caseflag) works, however.

[1] http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.45.3
[2] https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/e2fsprogs/ext4.5.en.html

Additional info:
* e2fsprogs 1.45.3
* kernel 5.2.1

Steps to reproduce:
- create new ext4 filesystem
- apply "tune2fs -O casefold" --> "setting casefold feature not supported"
This task depends upon

The release note state:

> Add support for casefold to dumpe2fs and debugfs.

I can not find anything about tune2fs. Where do you read this?

I am sorry. I seem to have misinterpreted the docs. It seems that the casefold feature can currently be set upon creation only.
