Severity: important

Subject tells the story, because devics can change, e2fsck needs to be
able to find external journal devices by UUID and correct the superblock
field specifying the device. Isn't this why the journal UUID is present
in the superblock?

Luckily in my case I could rearrange things so the journal device
reappeared with the old major/minor, remove it with tune2fs, move things
back to their new setup and re-add the journal. For folks under pressure
this would be quite problematic.

Insisting on manual e2fsck to fix this error is certainly fair. With
operator present e2fsck definitely needs to be able to do a UUID search.
