Hi Darrick,

I think I know why it fails, but I don't know how to deal with it offically :)
So cc linux-ext4@ list.

By testing, it fails after /dev/mapper/error-logtest be created. If we keep
SCRATCH_LOGDEV no change, everything is fine for ext4. Or you need to use
"-o journal_path=..." or "-o journal_dev=..." to specify the new journal device
path. Or you have to re-make ext4 with "-J device=/dev/mapper/error-logtest".

See below example:

1) ext4 extranal log device works:
# mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/loop0
# mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda3 -J device=/dev/loop0
# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/scratch/
# umount /mnt/scratch

2) Still works if only create error-test, don't touch LOGDEV:
# dmsetup create error-test --table "0 104849408 linear /dev/sda3 0"
# mount /dev/mapper/error-test /mnt/scratch/
# umount /mnt/scratch

3) Fails if you create error-logtest ...:
# dmsetup create error-logtest --table "0 2097152 linear /dev/loop0 0"
# mount /dev/mapper/error-test /mnt/scratch/
mount: /mnt/scratch: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/error-test, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

4) ... Except you specify the new logdev path by mount option:
# ls /dev/mapper/error-logtest  -l
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Aug  1 22:28 /dev/mapper/error-logtest -> ../dm-7
# mount /dev/mapper/error-test /mnt/scratch/ -o journal_path=/dev/dm-7
# umount /mnt/scratch

5) And after step 4, I can mount /dev/mapper/error-test again ...
# mount /dev/mapper/error-test /mnt/scratch
# umount /mnt/scratch

I'm not an expert of ext4, that's only my test result, hope to get a clear
explanation for that :)

Thanks,
Zorro
