Description of problem: Fsarchiver v8.5 ships with Fedora 40 but cannot archive and restore a Fedora 40 or Fedora 41 ext4 OS partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fsarchiver version 8.5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: Attempt to Create an archive of a Fedora 40 or Fedora 41 ext4 OS partition. Actual results: fsarchiver throws an error related to ext4 incompatibility. The ext4 filesystem update in Fedora 39 is foundational to this problem. Expected results: Normal archive creation. Additional info: GPT UEFI environment. Fsarchiver v8.5 can be used to successfully archive and restore a Fedora 37 - 38 ext4 OS partition. FYI Archiving a Fedora 40 ext4 OS partition via systemrescueCD v11.1/fsarchiver v8.7 appears to work but does not correctly create a grub2 bootable partition. After restoring to a different partition and changing the UUID of the original partition to avoid duplicate UUID problems, grub errors on boot with an indication similar to the one that occurs if the desired partition UUID cannot be found
