Mistakes on the commandline can lead to odd error messages:
# mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1
mke2fs: invalid blocks count - /dev/sda1
Making it a bit more explicit is more obvious:
mke2fs: invalid blocks count '/dev/sda1' on device 'stripe-width=512'
(hint, the mistake was no comma separation for -E)
