Seth suggested that I get the TOT cmds and try mkfs.xfs with that.  I did,
it worked.  Hopefully, I won't run into the problem Jani had a couple weeks
ago with FS freezes.  I'll let you know if I do.

Now there's rumors on l-k that the FS size might be limited by the
signedness of something in the block layer, effectively limiting us to 1TB. 
Oh, joy.

Thanks,
Dan
