In the course of some other investigations, I found that
calc_default_ag_geometry() doesn't go into "multidisk" mode
unless stripe geometry is *detected* (i.e. by the blkid routines).
Specifying a geometry on the cmdline is *not* sufficient, because
we test (ft.dsunit | ft.dswidth) which are not set by the cmdline
options.
If we move the AG calculations to after we have set dsunit & dswdith,
then we'll pick up either cmdline-specified or blkid-detected
geometry, and go into "multidisk" mode for AG size/count
calculations in both cases.
So now for a ~5T fs, for example, we'd make several more
AGs:
# truncate --size=5t fsfile
# mkfs.xfs -N -d su=128k,sw=8 fsfile | grep agcount
meta-data=fsfile isize=256 agcount=5, agsize=268435424 blks
# mkfs/mkfs.xfs -N -d su=128k,sw=8 fsfile | grep agcount
meta-data=fsfile isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=41943008 blks

TBH, though, is there ever any value in treating a very large
fs as "!multidisk?" When would we ever want to pretend that
a 16T filesystem doesn't have a lot of spindles behind it?
