For those of us losing or gaining a bit in pagesize now and then,
perhaps it would be good for mkfs.xfs to either deny create or warn
on creating fs's on the system architecture it is being created on?
How often does one create a fs under linux that they can't copy
anything onto -- just mkfs it, then move the filesystem to another
architecture where it is supported?
I'd be tempted to add an "-ff" switch to mkfs to really force creating
a file system that will be unusable on the system creating it.
Besides there's always the slight chance one could see it mentioned on
slashdot with the tagline "get your <filesystem|mkfs|mkfs.xfs|xfs> on...."
