I have a user request that mount be able to interpret the device specifier for the journal_dev mount option, so that instead of having to type something like mount -o journal_dev=0x0803 .... they could unstead use: "journal_dev=/dev/sda3" or even "journal_dev=LABEL=ext_journal". I assume the right way to do this is a mount helper? Or is this something that you would be willing to accept as a patch into util-linux? If it is a mount helper, what's the best way to do things? Simply parse through the mount options until finding the journal_dev one, and then calling blkid or stat as necessary to interpret the argument, and then re-exec mount with the modified mount option? Or is there some gotchas involved with doing this?
