Hm, that's true.  Missed for all these years.

findfs works fine with ext4 filesystems or any other type, however, because it simply uses libblkid, so this isn't a critical bug.

In retrospect, it would have been better to simply remove finde4fs from the package, because it is not ext4-specific at all.

At this stage of rhel5 development (i.e. it's basically over) it is unlikely that this bug will meet the threshold of importance to warrant an update, so I'm afraid I'll just need to close it WONTFIX.

Thanks,
-Eric
