[bug #40530] GRUB should detect hibernated file system and prompt user

[Ulf Zibis]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #40530 (project grub):

1. How likely is a hibernated file system, which is not on the default boot
partition, on an unattended-starting server?
2. The virgin first start of an unattended system would be for sure
non-unattended, and the operator would become aware of the rarely-occurring
situation, so then could remedy the cause or set the option.
3. If you still think, I'm wrong, then here 2 other suggestions for the
problematic case:
- Interrupt the boot with a loooong time-out, e.g. 3 minutes, which only could
be decreased optionally, so standard user has enough time to prevent the
system from dangerously booting the wrong partition.
- If I can't convince you, then please introduce a non-default option for
hibernation-detection at least.

To me:
Negligently corrupting a file system and destroying data is "not an option".
