2019-09-14 17:50:56 Jim Bray summary grub2 doesn't recognize ext4 with metadata_csum enabled grub2 doesn't recognize ext4 with metadata_csum_seed enabled
2019-09-14 17:50:56 Jim Bray description (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 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. Oddly enough it doesn't fail with this error, from grub-core/fs/ext2.c: grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_FS, "filesystem has unsupported incompatible features"); I will recreate the bug and get a precise error message and append it. 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 This ext4 feature enables metadata checksumming. This feature stores checksums for all of the filesystem metadata (superblock, group descriptor blocks, inode and block bitmaps, directories, and extent tree blocks). The checksum algorithm used for the metadata blocks is different than the one used for group descriptors with the uninit_bg feature. These two features are incompatible and metadata_csum will be used preferentially instead of uninit_bg." (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. 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.
