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

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

@decui I've pinged kernel people about those patches, if/when they make
into normal release they will also make it into trusty point release via
hwe kernels. Thus ext2 freezing will be possible at some point in
trusty. I'm awaiting further comments from them.

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
