Hello Mark,

Yes, the only thing that matters to me is that there's consistency between all platforms. "ext4" is the default fs on vm produced by "qemu-img" in (gnu system vm) and is supposed to be built-in as there are no "modprobe ext4". So if we decide to switch to another fs, or keep "ext4" but as a module for all architectures, it's fine, as long as its consistent. For now it would be easier to take this patch and we can later on build it as a module eveywhere and add it to file-system-type-modules in (gnu system linux-initrd). Mathieu
