Thanks so much for the help!  (Though you confused me using "m" instead
of "g" -- pesky drive sizes are getting insane.)  Anyway, 916g worked
like a charm; I guess the little extra bit on the end (.01398945g by
kcalc) was confusing things.  My xfs commands, along with the kernel
code etc., were compiled and installed from CVS source downloaded
yesterday, so I guess you can't get much newer.  ;-)

Again, thanks for all the help!
