I hope this is enough information to make a determination was to whether this
is a bug or I am doing something wrong. The goal is to have a reiserFS with
an external log device. Upon reboot, fsck.reiserfs fails and drops the boot
process to a shell. Here are the details.
Error message:
reiserfs_open_journal: journal parameters from the super block does not match
to journal parameters from the journal. You should run reiserfsck with
--rebuild-sb to check your superblock consistency.
Step to create the error message:
1) Create reiserfs on logical volume with external log (also on a logical
volume).
# mkfs.reiserfs -b 512 -l test1 -j /dev/suse92/reiserloglv /dev/suse92/test1lv
Guessing about desired format.. Kernel 2.6.8-24.11-default is running.
NOTE: journal new size 24576 is greater than default size 3966:
this may slow down initializing and mounting of the journal. Hope it is ok.

Will check superblock and rebuild it if needed
Will put log info to 'stdout'
