+    fs/ext2: Ignore checksum seed incompat feature
+    
+    This incompat feature is used to denote that the filesystem stored its
+    metadata checksum seed in the superblock. This is used to allow tune2fs
+    changing the UUID on a mounted metdata_csum filesystem without having
+    to rewrite all the disk metadata. However, the GRUB doesn't use the
+    metadata checksum at all. So, it can just ignore this feature if it
+    is enabled. This is consistent with the GRUB filesystem code in general
+    which just does a best effort to access the filesystem's data.
+    
+    The checksum seed incompat feature has to be removed from the ignore
+    list if the support for metadata checksum verification is added to the
+    GRUB ext2 driver later.
