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

[Chris Valean]

Hi Phillip,
Can this please be taken into consideration for the next release?
The report has been sent during Trusty, and was delayed through Utopic with no resolution or plan to modify.

If ext2 is kept, then Dexuan has found a few community patches that
might be applicable, these have been mentioned in the other thread - Bug
ID 1362574

Thank you!

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

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
