From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> xfs/042 trips over an impossible fs geometry when nrext64 is enabled. The minimum log size calculation comes out to 4287 blocks, but the mkfs parameters specify an AG size of 4096 blocks. This eventually causes mkfs to complain that the autoselected log size doesn't meet the minimum size, but we could be a little more explicit in pointing out that the two size constraints make for an impossible geometry.
