gjorunal is also affected. I tried to use one partition of my gmirror
disk as journal device for my 3ware raid-5 device which works until I
reboot - the journal is then gone as well.
Is this patch likly to fix this as well? Will it be included in a future
RC? Until now I've stayed away using glabel+gmirror but I didn't knew
that gjournal is affected as well so I'm now left with warning that the
journal provider is gone wile booting - and more tragically I'm left
without journaling at all (which hurts on a 2.7TB partition when the
system was not cleanly shut down)
