This causes a problem when running fsck -y. The traditional meaning of this command was: do a thorough, unconditional, non-interactive check; but now SU+J filesystems only get a journal sync. I can't even see the point in the question, surely someone that was content to use the journal would do a preen. This in 10-CURRENT. I'm not sure if it's like this in 9.1 or 9-STABLE, I only spent a week there trying to get intel kms graphics working on new hardware, so I'm new to SU+J.
