I would me more suspicous of mkfs not actually doing anything, until we
see output along the lines of the usual:
meta-data=/dev/hda6 isize=256 agcount=8, agsize=197800 blks
data = bsize=4096 blocks=1582394, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=0
naming =version 2 bsize=4096
log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=1200
realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0
there is always a chance it core dumped and never actually got to change
the filesystem - unless the ext2 metadata survived the mkfs enough to be
mountable and useable.
