Thanks!

I wonder though ... should we just invoke _scratch_mkfs with the geom options,
and leave MKFS_OPTIONS intact?  That way we could still specify custom options
in the environment.

OTOH they might clash; as long as resetting MKFS_OPTIONS here only affects
this test, it's probably ok.

Thanks,
