Are you sure you want to do this? <y/n>

WARNING: Disabling extents on /dev/whatever requires you to run e2fsck
on this filesystem before it can be used again!
Are you sure you want to do this? <y/n>

might assuage many of the fears presented in this thread.

If that were true, then I'd be happy to make this the barrier to entry.
Sadly, I don't think that is the only issue, but I'm happy to be shown
to be wrong.
