I've seen enough.  s/bug reports/worried questions, not always 
prior to messing with file system options/ for accuracy.

> Are there open bug reports about ext4 issues?
  
As in issues: no idea.  I would expect them to be closed, so it's 
not much of a metric.

The kernel doesn't discriminate and logs warnings.  Several people 
do notice these, don't realise that they are ‘harmless’, and 
follow some on-line tutorial to enable large_dir.  Which 
apparently breaks GRUB.

None of this is Guix's fault.  It does happen.

I'm not happy with this patch: it's the tiniest possible tweak and 
puts a lot of implicit meaning into the default ordering.

I didn't find a good way to dynamically display a description of 
each file system, but I wouldn't know what kind of Newt UI 
primitives/concepts to search for.

Kind regards,

T G-R
