I would wager that this is a bug in EVMS. You file system is
~1319413953331 bytes. You're trying to create a file system with
4503599396890350 4k blocks. That's much bigger than you're device.
Perhaps EVMS isn't reporting the size of the device correctly.
Try running `strace mkfs.xfs -f /dev/evms/SYSTEM` and add the output to
the bug.
BTW, why use EVMS? IIRC, it was discontinued after it lost the race for
2.5.
