Upgrading from e2fsprogs-1.42.13 to e2fsprogs-1.43.4 causes the boot loader to fail (unknown filesystem error) on the x86_64 VM I use for initial testing. I traced the problem to changes in the e2fsprogs configuration file which now sets 64 bit flags. I tried upgrading to GRUB 2.02 but that did not resolve the problem. Reverting the changes per the patch below fixes the problem.
Kernel: 3.16.42, x86_64
Bootloader: GRUB 2.00
Filesystem: Ext4
