Well, I think the outputs make it pretty clear. /dev/loop0 is a mounted
image from fuse filesystem. Fuse daemon making filesystem accessible gets
frozen before /dev/loop0 gets fully written out and so jbd2 journal thread
hangs. Maybe Miklos (added to CC) could fill in some details / ideas but I
think the setup like you have never really worked...
