Unfortunately, beginning with kernel image packages higher than version 5.4.0-42, I experience the nasty bug, that ext4 file systems with inode quota cannot be mounted anymore. E2fsck does not tell me about any corruptions regarding the ext4 file system with inode quota. However, the ext4 code within kernel bails out as follows:
> EXT4-fs warning (device dm-2): ext4_enable_quotas:6471: Failed to enable quota tracking (type=0, err=-3). Please run e2fsck to fix

Please open a Launchpad bug report about this by running "ubuntu-bug linux" on 
one of the systems showing the problem. Ideally after the mount attempt. This 
will automatically collect additional information that allows to do further 
debugging.

Thanks,
