"extends" is one of the features of ext4 ..the warning about this just informs you that your filesystem is not tuned to use this feature

the one about backward compatibility just informs you that this ext4 module/driver might not work as expected when used in kernels above 2.6.31

i dont think you have anything to worry with those warnings
.. 3 things are certain in life : death, taxes and software bloat ..
.. tell me something i don't know, something i can use as i struggle to reason with the world around me ..
