It would probably much easier to add an option to mount the filesystem
without crc, similar to "norecovery", that doesn't replay the journal.
It would be of course read-only, but in a similar case it would be much
easier and practical for everyone.
So far I believed that metadata CRCs were a promise of safer
filesystems; now that I've setup several multi-hundred terabytes
volumes with CRC enabled, I'm getting nervous...
