I think the version in Jessie is doing check sums and the version in 
Stretch is not. If you are going to re-partition, then first delete your 
current partition. If that is not what you want to do, then disable 
checksums and reformat.
To disable checksums on an existing filesystem, ensure that the 
filesystem will pass fsck. Then turn off metadata_csum via
  #tune2fs, e.g. tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum /dev/path/to/disk. One other 
thing is you will need to reformat the partition, but you still may have 
a problem, the partition maybe one byte off and will not boot your 
system, so while using gparted add or remove one byte to the partition 
and then format.  You didn't say, but you can check and repair ext4 with 
#fsck.ext4 -pvcf /dev/sdXX but as above you need to first disable checksum.
