This is not a valid test.  Mounting with "-o noload" will discard all of the
transaction information in the journal, and virtually guarantee the filesystem
is inconsistent.  It will be no better than ext2, which requires a full e2fsck
run after each crash.  This is NOT a valid reproducer for this problem.
