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@stretch:~# grub-probe --target=fs --device /dev/sda1 ext2 root@stretch:~# tune2fs -O metadata_csum_seed /dev/sda1 tune2fs 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017) root@stretch:~# grub-probe --target=fs --device /dev/sda1 grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. root@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) Thorsten -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then set have_grubenv=true load_env fi if [ "${next_entry}" ] ; then set default="${next_entry}" set next_entry= save_env next_entry set boot_once=true else set default="0" fi if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then menuentry_id_option="--id" else menuentry_id_option="" fi export menuentry_id_option if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { if [ x$feature_all_video_module = xy ]; then insmod all_video else insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga insmod ieee1275_fb insmod vbe insmod vga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus fi } if loadfont unicode ; then set gfxmode=auto load_video insmod gfxterm set locale_dir=$prefix/locale set lang=en_US insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ] ; then set timeout=30 else if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then set timeout_style=menu set timeout=5 # Fallback normal timeout code in case the timeout_style feature is # unavailable. else set timeout=5 fi fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### function gfxmode { set gfxpayload="${1}" } set linux_gfx_mode= export linux_gfx_mode menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-/dev/sda1' { load_video insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-3-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64 } submenu 'Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-/dev/sda1' { menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-4.9.0-3-amd64-advanced-/dev/sda1' { load_video insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-3-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64 } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-4.9.0-3-amd64-recovery-/dev/sda1' { load_video insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-3-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64 } } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
