Re: grub-probe detects ext4 wronly as ext2

[Robert Millan]

If you wish to send a patch for the user environment check you proposed,
could send it separately?  I'm inclined to commit the flag check, but not
the environment stuff.

Afterwards if you like we could discuss about whether we should be
"best-effort" in real GRUB or not.  It's really not such a big deal,
as long as we don't end up cluttering the user interface because of it.

I would avoid referring explicitly to the features involved, because it
means the message will end up being obsolete when extents are supported
(and we will likely forget to update it).
