[PATCH] mkfs: log stripe unit fails to influence default log size

[PATCH] mkfs: log stripe unit fails to influence default log size

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

This fails:

# mkfs.xfs -f -l version=2,su=256k /dev/ram1
log size 2560 blocks too small, minimum size is 3264 blocks
....

We should be automatically calculating an appropriate, valid log
size when the user does not specify it.

ok, so 4G device with 4k sectors; 4k sectors + log sunit is what made
the calculated min_logblocks large enough that it is failing without
this change.  Those details should probably be in the commit log.

Also, nitpick, it doesn't have to exceed, and MAX() doesn't make it exceed....
maybe:

		/* Log size can't be less than the minimum the geometry requires. */

Code wise it's fine, I'd prefer to see commit log & comment tidied up, but:
