(mountctl) Journaling bugs?

Hello
I'm not sure if the following two situations are considered
to be bugs or not. I'll just post it:
1. When a partition is journaled and the partition gets unmounted
*BEFORE* the journaling is stopped there is a kind of zombie
thread.
Example:
# mountctl -a -w /tmp/journal_out /home:newjournal
# mountctl -l
/home:newjournal
membufsize=1.00M
membufused=0
membufiopend=0
total_bytes=32
# ps aux | grep journal
root -1 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? IL 22Mar05 0:00.00 (journal
newjourn)
# umount /home
# mountctl -l
# ps aux | grep journal
root -1 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? IL 22Mar05 0:00.00 (journal
newjourn)
# mount /home
# mountctl -a -w /tmp/journal_out /home:newjournal
# mountctl -l
/home:newjournal
membufsize=1.00M
membufused=0
membufiopend=0
total_bytes=32
# ps aux | grep journal
root -1 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? IL 22Mar05 0:00.00 (journal
newjourn)
root -1 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? IL 22Mar05 0:00.00 (journal
newjourn)
# mountctl -d newjournal
/home:newjournal deleted
1 journals deleted
# ps aux | grep journal
root -1 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? IL 22Mar05 0:00.00 (journal
newjourn)
#
2. If the journal is written to the same partition as the one who gets
journaled, the system crashes badly; perhaps this case should be
intercepted by the mountctl command.
Thanks for your time.
