Hm, I'm having trouble duplicating this.

128M box, 8GB XFS disk, all standard mount & mkfs options.

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=32768k count=128
$ dd if=foo of=bar bs=32768k

gives me no error messages...

I did see the "Bad write on page" error when I ran out of space while
filling a filesystem with the above commands, though.
