I wasn't changing SCRATCH_DEV, the device mapper was only used briefly
on _scratch_mkfs_sized, and then again on _check_scratch_fs. Still your
point stands, Eryu already found problems with my patch.

I'll look into it. I will also need to change fsck.hfsplus, since it
claims it found corruption when the filesystem doesn't fill the device.
