*Description :
Running mkfs to build an xfs filesystem after a partition has
been mounted as ext2 has periodically failed for me. The failure
is usually this:

[root@lord /]# mkfs -t xfs -f -l size=16000b /dev/sda4
meta-data=/dev/sda4              isize=256    agcount=8, agsize=149104 blks
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=1192826, imaxpct=25
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096  
log      =internal log           bsize=4096   blocks=16000

==========================

I have modified libsim in the past to attempt to fix this, I
never got a fix I was comfortable with. Dumping out the
ioctl results was an easy one though.

The driver was scsi - no lvm involved, it is an adaptec
controller.

Since it is 100% repeatable here, I can try anything you can
think of.
