Linux kernel and mkfs.xfs version 5.10 added a new XFS feature called `bigtime`, to overcome Y2038 timestamp limitations.  It's not yet enabled by default, but will be in the future.

GRUB does not yet support an XFS filesystem with XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_BIGTIME.  Can it just be ignored/accepted like other new XFSv5 features, or does GRUB need to get explicit support for this?


Another new incompatibility flag is XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_NEEDSREPAIR, to indicate a filesystem must go through `xfs_repair` before being mounted - mainly to accomodate filesystem upgrades (adding a new feature flag and letting xfs_repair "fix" the feature on disk).
Here it's probably best to allow GRUB to read such a filesystem, so it can bootstrap the OS which will deal further with the repair issue?
