Hm so you've set the log size to 5m (-l size=5m) but how does that
interact with any "-l size=XXX" set in MKFS_OPTS ? 

(It's certainly no worse than what I had in my original test; I just
wonder if we should ignore MKFS_OPTS altogether in this test, and
completely manually specify all options?)

((but I guess that would restrict this test too much, wouldn't it))

Fine for now, I suppose:
