Hi,
I have problem while I create a ext4 volume with external journal device.
The UUID of external journal device is not the one I specify.
First, I create a journal device(/dev/sda4).
[root@localhost sbin]# ./mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/sda4
[root@localhost sbin]# ./blkid /dev/sda4
/dev/sda4: UUID="1313c286-7803-4a40-9010-74964554d13f" TYPE="jbd"
I use tune2fs to change the UUID of journal device. blkid shows the
UUID is changed.
[root@localhost sbin]# ./tune2fs /dev/sda4 -U
aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa
[root@localhost sbin]# ./blkid /dev/sda4
/dev/sda4: UUID="aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa" TYPE="jbd"
Make an ext4 volume with external journal device (dev/sda4)
[root@localhost sbin]# ./mke2fs /dev/sda3 -t ext4 -J device=/dev/sda4
[root@localhost sbin]# ./dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda3 | grep UUID
dumpe2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
Filesystem UUID: d8f038e5-9539-4b1d-8ccb-63cc56771fc5
Journal UUID: 1313c286-7803-4a40-9010-74964554d13f
However, the journal device UUID of ext4 volume is still the old one.
It's not the new one.
Test environment
Kernel version: 3.12.10
e2fsprogs version: 1.42.10
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
chintzung

Hi,
I'm *not an expert*, but here is what you can do:
[ vdc === sda3, vdb ===sda4 ]
# e2fsck -vvv /dev/vdc
e2fsck 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
External journal does not support this filesystem
/dev/vdc: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********
# debugfs -w /dev/vdc
debugfs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
debugfs: set_super_value journal_uuid
"aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa"
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/vdc | fgrep UUID
dumpe2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
Filesystem UUID: 85050e89-6b52-4146-b697-8439a7b04b13
Journal UUID: aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa
# e2fsck -vvv /dev/vdc
e2fsck 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
External journal has multiple filesystem users (unsupported).
/dev/vdc: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/vdb | fgrep Journal\ users: -A10

[ Only in case when you have multiple users for journal dev: ]
-------------------------------------------------------------
# mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/vdb
mke2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)

I will try to dig into sources, to find the reason.
