I have an 'ext4' FS on a USB hard drive.  When I plug this in, I get a
"Cannot mount volume" popup:

The volume 'Backup1' uses the ext4dev file system which is not
supported by your system, followed by a dbus-type failure error
message about a minute later.

This just me, or what additional changes are needed?
