The xfs log is a per filesystem structure, you cannot share logs between
different filesystems. The external log feature is there because on irix
there are volume managers which let you create volumes with subvolumes
within them, xfs data, log and realtime being the typical uses. There is
no equivalent on linux at the moment.
