*Modified User Domain : sgi.com       *Description :
Running mkfs to build an xfs filesystem after a partition has
been mounted as ext2 has periodically failed for me. The failure
is usually this:

[root@lord /]# mkfs -t xfs -f -l size=16000b /dev/sda4
meta-data=/dev/sda4              isize=256    agcount=8, agsize=149104 blks
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=1192826, imaxpct=25
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096  
log      =internal log           bsize=4096   blocks=16000
