that's the problem right there (the blocksize).

I don't understand how one could get a blocksize like
that since the test runs mkfs.xfs on the scratch device
and so should always have a blocksize of 4K (by default)
- see _populate_scratch() in the test, followed by the
blksize=... line a little further down.

no, that wouldn't affect this test - its all user space
testing of mkfs (no actual mount happens), so no kernel
support for other filesystems is required.

*shrug* - must have been an alignment-of-the-planets issue.

cheers.
