wrong detection type of file system #42

I format partition from linux with mkfs -v -t ext4 /dev/<xxx> from OpenSUSE linux.
But ext2fsd think that it is ext3 file system, and so it can't open it.

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 22.04.

After researching a bit, this was because of the 64bit feature being enabled. Disabling it will let ext2fsd recognize the partition correctly as ext4 and you'll be able to access the data.

Check issue #24 for the required steps.
