This commit log is incorrect: the ext4 filesystem is already used.
Indeed, the ext4 image is a symlink to the ext2 image, and the ext2
image is in fact an ext4 image:

-rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 3763200 sept. 11 21:54 rootfs.ext2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 thomas thomas      11 sept. 11 21:54 rootfs.ext4 -> rootfs.ext2

So, using the .ext4 image is probably a good idea, but the commit log
should reflect that.

Best regards,

Thomas
