Again, can you pleae paste the entire logprint output here? I'm
asking for _exactly_ what is in your terminal as a result of the
commands you ran. That is, if everything is working correctly, I
would expect you to be pasting in something like this:
# mount /dev/vdb /mnt/scratch
# cp /bin/sh /mnt/scratch
# sync
# umount /mnt/scratch
# xfs_logprint -t /dev/vdb
xfs_logprint:
data device: 0xfd10
log device: 0xfd10 daddr: 10485792 length: 20480
log tail: 6924 head: 6924 state: <CLEAN>
#
If it is different to this, then those differences might
tell me is going wrong. but without the exact commands and output,
I cannot help you....

This should not be occurring. What is generating this error? is
there anything in your logs/dmesg, etc that indicates what might be
the cause? This is the error that we need to understand first...

It's not. I asked you to run it first to separate writeback from the
unmount process to determine if it was writeback that was having
problems. Clearly, if sync is triggering an error, then the problem
is realted to writeback, and not unmount.
FYI: Without a sync, you should still see a clean log:
# mount /dev/vdb /mnt/scratch
# cp /bin/* /mnt/scratch
# umount /mnt/scratch
# xfs_logprint -t /dev/vdb
xfs_logprint:
data device: 0xfd10
log device: 0xfd10 daddr: 10485792 length: 20480
log tail: 8703 head: 8703 state: <CLEAN>

Cheers,
Dave.
