In http://bugzilla.redhat.com/485507
Eric Sandeen proposed to add ext4 to the list of names
currently reported for that type of file system ("ext2/ext3").
I'm reluctant to change that string, because doing so might
well break scripts that rely on them:
case $(stat -f --format %T .) in
ext2/ext3) ;;
*) destroy_partition ;;
esac
Sure, script writers might well anticipate this and
prefer to use the %t directive to get the type in hexadecimal,
but that's far less readable.
How much code (and how ugly) would be required to distinguish ext4
from ext[23]?
