Not sure how to convey that in a _require directive here. If you remove _require_logdev, it should pass on ext2 under the ext4.ko driver as well. ext2.ko still has issues though as the block device ends up getting flagged with errors twice. > btrfs doesn't support external log device either, it should not run this > generic test either. > Agreed.
