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

I don't think I am. I will try again with a debug version, I have hit
this a few times, it might be specific to partition layout on my machine.
Also, the strace output might still be there, or I can recreate, ltrace is
a good idea, I forgot about that.
