Thanks for clarifying that. I re-created all file systems with separate 
journals.

Part of my question still stands though: Is there any way to tell 
whether a journal-enabled UFS file system (one created with the -J flag 
or with journaling enabled via tunefs) is actually properly residing on 
a gjournal provider? One can always find out the hard way - yank the 
power cable and see whether the journal works. But should there not be a 
way to verify that as far as GEOM and the file system layer are 
concerned, everything is set up correctly?
