Steve,
Please let me know whether this fixes your write error.
I've also put a mkfs binary at babylon:/tmp/mkfs.xfs -
could you run this one too, then send me the output and
core file which it generates.
thanks.

The following file(s) were checked into:
bonnie.engr.sgi.com:/isms/slinx/2.4.0-test1-xfs
cmd/xfs/mkfs/xfs_mkfs.c - 1.176
- remove the zero-512-bytes code to overwrite the potential last
EFS superblock - unnecessary on Linux.
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.
