Yes, that makes sense.

But I still wonder how "exit 1" from within helpers should be handled
from check when stdout/err are redirected to $tmp.err.
Trying to catch the config error earlier is a good practice, but
it won't ensure against the same type of problem in the future.

What did you think about my approach to store mkfs output in  $check_err
var instead of $tmp.err file and spew $check_err in _wrapup?
BTW I tries 'cat $tmp.err' in _wrapup, but output is still redirected to
$tmp.err while in trap, so cat says: "cat: input file is output file".
