XCP pygrub should have ext4 support.
It currently doesn't because the libfsimage ext2fs-lib module is linked
against libext2fs, which doesnt have ext4 support in XCP.
Instead, XCP should use the ext2fs module that comes with libfsimage, which
has ext4 support.
Most new releases of distributions has it as their default filesystem.
Most notably, Ubuntu 10.04
An easy way for the build to use ext2fs instead of ext2fs-lib, is to not
have ext2fs/ext2fs.h present.
Alternatively this patch hard codes it.

Well, this is not the Xen issue here. We're having this fixed in RHEL-5
by simply reinstalling the e2fsprogs package to the latest one, although
in case of RHEL-5 it's been renamed to e4fsprogs. The simplest thing you
can do about this is to reinstall the e2fsprogs package on the host
machine and it will be working fine - at least it was when I did test it
on RHEL-5 some time ago.
Simply put, reinstalling the e2fsprogs to the latest version will do the
job and allow ext4 functionality to pygrub.

Well, which ever way we do it, either using the built in libfsimage ext4
support, or upgrading e2fsprogs, we should choose one?

Well, when using libfsimage *non-e2fsprogs* implementation the ext4
support have to be added manually but when using e2fsprogs
implementation (i.e. the version linked with e2fsprogs) I recommend
upgrading your version of e2fsprogs to the newest/upstream version.

The *non-e2fsprogs* implementation,
i.e. tools/libfsimage/ext2fs/fsys_ext2fs.c has ext4 support already.

Oh, ok, provided the fact that e2fsprogs implementation is being just
simply linked to the e2fsprogs library upgrading the package to the
newest/upstream package is the simplest thing you could do.

David, this is totally xen independent thing. This is based on the
operating system's version of e2fsprogs installed and provided if there

Michal: Remember we're talking about XCP (Xen Cloud Platform) here,
not "traditional" Xen installations..
So it just needs to be decided in which way to solve it in XCP.
