Hi,
I think the ext2 error message is better. The "read out of range"
error is such a general message, it tells us little about where it
goes wrong, while with "not ext2 filesystem",. we know that the error
is generated in grub_ext2_mount.
Although, a more informative way is to write it like this:
if (grub_errno == GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE)
grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_FS, "not an ext2 filesystem (out of range)");
But that seems a little overdo for me. Besides, fs drivers such as
xfs.c, hfsplus.c use simple message for out of range error.
