such a dirty filesystem and an unrecoverable journal. Almost all
conversions involve writing to the root filesystem, so these will
inevitably fail later on with a strange error message.
Test the root filesystem is writable by creating and deleting a
temporary file, and if the creation fails then give better
diagnostics.
Another possibility here could be to use the "norecover" mount option.
