Yes, I had revised patch that added the 2>&1 but that wasn't the one
that ended up xfstests repository.  I started with a patch to add it
back that looked much like yours (except I used '2>&1' instead of '>&'),
but I started thinking about the fact that this would cause errors to
be masked which is not cool.

I believe Dave or Cristoph has said that they don't like redirecting
stderr to /dev/null for _scratch_mount, and it seems to me that
assuming my change makes it in, it would probably be good to get rid
of the other stderr redirections to /dev/null.
