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

[Chris Valean]

Verified this against the latest Vivid Server daily build and the issue
seems resolved, we were able to successfully create a live backup and
restore a default Ubuntu installation with the default partitioning -
/boot being ext2.

Testing details:
Linux ubuntu1504 3.19.0-9-generic #9-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 11 17:50:03 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

In the logs there's a message that would relate to this:
Mar 18 15:13:59 ubuntu1504 kernel: [   14.716508] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounting ext2 file system using the ext4 subsystem

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
