Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
enabling metadata_csum_seed allows to change the UUID of a mounted ext4 filesystem, which
is useful for cloned virtual machines. Unfortunately, grub does not recognize this feature.
If this is enabled on the root filesystem, the system is rendered unbootable.
root at stretch:~# grub-probe --target=fs --device /dev/sda1
ext2
root at stretch:~# tune2fs -O metadata_csum_seed /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
root at stretch:~# grub-probe --target=fs --device /dev/sda1
grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
root at stretch:~# file -Ls /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=e692d65c-6677-4123-8bef-5daa7edb1a52 (needs journal recovery) (extents) (64bit) (large files) (huge files)
