Hi Wei,
> The fsconfig01.c does not test if FSCONFIG_SET_PATH has any effect;
> most of the calls there just set a dummy "sync" parameter. This test
> case aims to verify if the FSCONFIG_SET_PATH operation can be used
> to dynamically change the external journal device of an ext3 or ext4
> filesystem.

> + * journal device of an ext3 or ext4 filesystem. Case acquires three

This is not a description but the Description + Algorithm section. Please
split them so we understand what the test aims for + algorithm that is used.

This code is duplicated. We should create a helper that prealloc
and attach the device.

we already format the device manually.
