hi all

I'm trying to make a real-time filesystem for testing purposes onto a
single disk. (yes - I know it's silly, but it's only for testing).

I'm trying to do this on one drive with two partitions, and it all messes
up. see below for more info.

but...

# mkfs.xfs -f -r extsize=4m,rtdev=/dev/hdb6 /dev/hdb5
