After setting "Use ext4 for ext2/ext3 file systems" and rebooting, my root
filesystem gets mounted as ext2. When the option is disabled, everything works
as expected.

Here are some relevant output:

$ grep ext[24] /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1       /boot  ext2    noauto,noatime      1 2
/dev/sda5       /      ext4    noatime             0 1

$ mount | grep ext[24]
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,noatime)

$ dmesg | grep -i ext[24]
EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly on device 259:131072.
EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem without journal
