It seems so.

The disk is mounted without i/o being counted in /sys/block/sda/sda2/stat .

If only half of the 733702 write ops of mkfs.ext4 were due to lazy_*=0,
then they would keep with lazy_*=1 the disk busy for more than 6 hours at
16 ops per second. This matches my initial observation that it lasted for
at least one hour.

But in the end i can only say for sure that the drive LED behaves like
before i mounted the lazily created ext4 in its encrypted partition.
I had ext4 before. So my suspicions were rather directed towards the
encryption, which is new for me. Now the whole story matches lazy ext4
creation, regardless of encryption.


Have a nice day :)
