Description Brian Evans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2023-02-13 15:47:32 UTC
According to a forum post[1], a new feature, metadata_csum_seed, that is unaccounted for in grub is denying access to ext4 based file access.

e2fsprogs-1.47 makes this feature on by default for all new ext4 that are created.

Grub upstream has a commit[2] which fixes the issue.
