And a current git mkfs for -m crc=1 sets ftype which didn't hit
until:

$ glo -n 1 0cb97766
0cb9776 xfs: Add read-only support for dirent filetype field
$ git describe --contains 0cb97766
xfs-for-linus-v3.12-rc1~19
$

So a 3.12 kernel will be required to use it with a mkfs from the git
tree.

Cheers,

Dave.
