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.
