I suspect you need a newer mkfs.xfs binary, also, if you are getting
output like this:
meta-data=/dev/sda2 isize=256 agcount=8, agsize=64511
blks
data = bsize=4096 blocks=516088, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0
naming =version 2 bsize=4096
log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=1200, version=1
= sunit=0 blks
realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0
It actually worked. There is an ioctl call which xfs attempts to use,
it is not implemented by all block devices and mkfs actually carries
on after the failure anyway.
