** Description changed:
(probably)/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/ext2.mod, from:
grub-efi-amd64-bin:
Installed: 2.02-2ubuntu8.13
Candidate: 2.02-2ubuntu8.13
doesn't recognize an ext4 filesystem with metadata_csum_seed set.
This is true in command-line grub, not just the update-grub software.
Attempting
linux (hdx,gptx)/vm etc on an ext4 fs with metadata_csum enabled fails;
removing the metadata_csum option fixes this.
- The failure is "unrecognized filesystem" for any ext4 fs with
- metadata_csum_seed set. Apparently saving the metata checksum seed in
- the superblock changes it beyond recognition for grub.
+ The failure is "unknown filesystem" for any ext4 fs with metadata_csum_seed
set. Apparently saving the metata checksum seed in the superblock changes it
beyond recognition for grub. The message appears to be coming from
+ grub-2.04/grub-core/kern /fs.c:
- I tried to install latest grub from eaon to see if upstream has fixed
- this, but it depended on too much other unreleased software such as
- libc6.
+ grub_fs_t
+ grub_fs_probe (grub_device_t device)
+ {....
+ grub_error (GRUB_ERR_UNKNOWN_FS, N_("unknown filesystem"));
+ }
+
+
+ I tried to install latest grub from eaon to see if upstream has fixed this,
but it depended on too much other unreleased software such as libc6.
I pulled the 2.04 source. There is nothing in the Changelog that appears
to address this.
from `man ext4`:
metadata_csum_seed
This feature allows the filesystem to store the metadata
checksum seed in the superblock, which allows the administrator to change the
UUID of a filesystem using the metadata_csum feature while it is mounted.
