_filter_mkfs is a filter so that it should read from stdin first before printing anything out. Otherwise the command prior to the pipeline may get EPIPE. I saw this when testing extN with generic/204, _scratch_mkfs_sized was unable to create fs because of EPIPE, then _scratch_mount failed. generic/204 12s ...
