Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Because my laptop has a first-gen SSD, I tried to limit performance
degradation over time by creating my root filesystem as ext4 with the
option -O ^has_journal.
However the scripts/local script identifies my root fs as ext2, not as ext4.
The result is that it fails to mount /root with "invalid args".
The value of $FSTYPE when mount command happens is ext2. When I hardcoded
FSTYPE=ext4 in scripts/local it booted normally.
blkid identifies the file system correctly. I suppose the fstype tool
from klibc-utils is wrong here.
