WTMF - ChromeOS will no longer mount ext4 on an external device:
(not exactly a crouton issue, but this will break all "proper" chroots running on USB sticks, and presumably SD cards as well)

Version 38.0.2104.0 dev (64-bit)
Platform 6092.0.0 (Official Build) dev-channel peppy
Firmware Google_Peppy.4389.86.0

Sorry- I missed that this was a dup-

That google code thread is painful though- it's amazing how they're
managing to slowly wreck something that was once really damn good.

It's not the best turn of events, but they won't be removing the ability to mount via command line. Don't forget that verified mode is the primary driver of Chromium OS, and I suspect the number of people in verified mode who mount and manage ext partitions is slim to nil.

As for dev mode, crouton will provide a workaround as ever...
