Fair enough.

log stripe unit (524288 bytes) is too large (maximum is 256KiB)
log stripe unit adjusted to 32KiB

It just tweaked me a little to complain about something the user didn't specify, but thinking about it from the perspective of letting the user know that the _device_ has a stripe unit larger than xfs can handle makes sense.
