Out of curiosity, when I test log replay with the journal_checksum option, I
almost always get something like:

[  999.917805] JBD2: journal transaction 84121 on dm-1-8 is corrupt.
[  999.923904] EXT4-fs (dm-1): error loading journal

after a simulated crash & log replay.

Do you see anything like that in your logs?
