This has been landed to our master branch for 2.1, but is not the default in b1_8.  You still need to use the "--mkfsoptions='-t ext4'" option when formatting an OST or MDT filesystem.  See LU-255 (patch http://review.whamcloud.com/480) for more details of format-time options that have changed.

Cheers, Andreas
