[Bug 1297012] Re: hyper-v: Manual partitioning formats /boot with ext2 file-system

[Phillip Susi]

As noted in bug #527667, we should not be using ext2 for /boot.  The
space saved on a 150m /boot by not using the journal is only 7 mb.  This
is hardly worth the loss of reliability not to mention the fsck after a
crash.

Title:
  hyper-v: Manual partitioning formats /boot with ext2 file-system

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hi,

  It appears that if users manually partition the disk, the /boot
  partition is formatted using the ext2 file-system. This breaks certain
  backup scenarios for Hyper-V. Is it possible to change the default
  format for the /boot partition to ext4?

  Please let us know and see attached image for more details.
  Thanks,
  Abhishek
