[Bug 2044623] Re: (L)Ubuntu 24.04 Daily install fails when XFS is selected

[Julian Andres Klode]

xfsprogs 6.5 enables new feature flags which we do not yet support in
grub. We'll be enabling them in grub once the patches have been merged
but in either case the new features should be reverted in 24.04 such
that 22.04 grub can still read it.

Title:
  (L)Ubuntu 24.04 Daily install fails when XFS is selected

Status in calamares package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xfsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Lubuntu Noble install on Proxmox VM with EFI
  4G RAM 32G disk 2CPU cores
  XFS Erase disk automatic partitioning selected.

  ** expected result
  Install proceeds using the XFS filesystem and completes without error; reboot into the new system

  ** actual result
  Install fails with error -
  2023-11-25 - 16:08:25 [1]:     ERROR: Installation failed: "Bootloader installation error"
  2023-11-25 - 16:08:25 [6]:     .. - message: "Bootloader installation error"
  2023-11-25 - 16:08:25 [6]:     .. - details: The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --force</pre> returned error code 1.

  Booting into the new system fails.

  An installation with EXT4 proceeds and works as expected on the same
  VM configuration.
