Did you test this, Eric?

$  mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc
cannot disable ftype with crcs enabled
Usage: mkfs.xfs
/* blocksize */         [-b log=n|size=num]

        nftype = dirftype = 0;          /* inode type information in the dir */

So we enable crcs by default and do not enable dirftype/nftype by
default, and so by default mkfs now fails. I'll fix it to always
default to ftype=1 for both v4 and v5 filesystems as there is no go
reason not to enable it.

Cheers,

Dave.
