That warning implies a write ordering problem - there's a write with
an LSN on disk that does not yet exist in the log. i.e. the last FUA
write to the log had 1:63 in it, yet there's metadata on disk that
could only be *issued* after a REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA log write with
1:396 in it was *completed*. If we've only replayed up to the
FUA write with 1:63 in it, then no metadata writes should have been
*issued* with 1:396 in it as the LSN that is stamped into metadata
is only updated on log IO completion....

On first glance, this implies a bug in the underlying device write
replay code....

Cheers,

Dave.
