Will do.  Let me get my feet back under me.  The initial 
`grep -l _test_mount [0-9][0-9][0-9]` returned 014, 097, 192; so 
the thread was started in the spirit of "there's no way this can 
possibly be the correct function to use."

I'll look at shared/243.

One day, I would like to earn git-log fame by incorporating better 
support for JFS and especially NILFS2 into xfstests.  However, 
that's a topic for another day.  I know that I have uses for both 
filesystems, but that doesn't mean anybody else does.  Their 
mailing lists don't give much hint of user community or progress.

Thanks!

Michael
