1st patch is correct.
2nd patch is a good catch, but I'm not sure if simply ignoring is good.
If mftmirr is broken / missing, then theoretically we can continue working.
But still it's a major fs error.
I'm thinking about exiting mount with error, and if "force" is present,
then continue with mount.
I'll reply again when I'll be sure what is correct behavior.
Thank you for your work!
