xfs, ext3/4 passed generic/999, btrfs passed btrfs/999 (with some local
modifications, see reply to btrfs/999), but ext2 (using ext4 driver) and
btrfs failed generic/999 on my host. (See test log at the end of mail.)

In the ext2 case, this test requires an external log device to run, but
ext2 has no journal at all, I wonder if we should _notrun on ext2.

btrfs doesn't support external log device either, it should not run this
generic test either.

I think _require_logdev() should be updated too, to do a check on
$FSTYP, only allows filesystems that have external log device support to
continue to run.

If there's really no good way to tell if current fs supports this new
behavior, I think this is fine, strictly speaking, it's not a new
feature anyway.

Thanks,
Eryu

P.S. ext2 and btrfs failure in generic/999 run (I renumbered it to
generic/441)
