--- Comment #15 from Joseph D. Wagner <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
Assuming these don't change across reboots:
253, 1 -> /dev/dm-1 -> system-os
253, 3 -> /dev/dm-3 -> backup (destination)
253, 5 -> /dev/dm-5 -> data-home (source)

I used the same options for formatting.  Here are the exact commands:

$ mke2fs -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 -J size=1024 -L backup -m 1
-t ext4 -v /dev/mapper/backup

$ mke2fs -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 -J size=256 -L backup -m 1
-t ext4 -v /dev/mapper/backup

Here is the exact command for the ftrace and dump:

$ trace-cmd record -o /root/ftrace/trace.dat \
  -e jbd2:jbd2_checkpoint \
  -e jbd2:jbd2_run_stats \
dump -${DUMPLEVEL} -a -b 64 -u -A "${TARGET_TOC}" -f "${TARGET_IMG}" -Q
"${TARGET_QFA}" "${SNAPSHOT_PATH}"

Often (but not always), I would set the system to shutdown immediately after
backup.  However, it was mounted automatically by /etc/fstab on each boot, and
it was left mounted in the background.

Prior to submitting these bug report, I had been running without reformatting
for a number of months.  I just finally got sick of it when I submitted my
report.

What do you think should be the next step?  Reformat with those options, and
rerun with a trace?
