Trying to hack around SCRATCH_DEV to be some other device set up by
_scratch_mkfs_sized is likely to break things in unexpected ways.
Lots of library routines directly access SCRATCH_DEV or manipulate
it in interesting ways (e.g. build their own dm constructs on it).

IMO the right thing to do is implement the size parameter in
mkfs.hfsplus. I note that it has a dry-run capability (-N <size>)
already allows it to simulate making a filesystem of any size, so it
looks to me that most of what you need it to do is already in the
mkfs code. Then you can test for the mkfs parameter in
_scratch_mkfs_sized....

Cheers,

Dave.
