------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Jeroen is right: GNU ext2fs is part of the Hurd but it's suposed to act on 0x82
partitions.
On the other hand, I don't see why GRUB should fail if the partition type is
incorrect, or even check the partition type at all. What really matters here is
that if a sane ext2 filesystem is present, then GRUB should be able to read it
no matter what the partition type is.

Summary: Grub can't recognize GNU/HURD ext2fs logical partitions
Original Submission: When trying to mount a logical GNU/HURD partition
(created by mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda7 with GNU/Linux), I have error no 17:
Cannot mount selected partition. When changing partition type to Linux (0x82),
I manage to boot with that logical partition. This does not happen when using a
primary partition.

I think this bug can be closed, you always have to set the partition type to
Linux (0x82) if it's an ext2 partition, the Hurd type (0x63) should not be used
for such an partition.
