To whom it may concern,
The man-page mkfs(8) mentions that the option -V equates to --verbose.
I think this should be -v instead.
Kind regards,
Barry Vos

Well, no. A leading -V gets consumed by the mkfs program itself;
a -v gets passed on to the filesystem-specific helper program.
Try it:
mkfs -V somefile
mkfs -V -v somefile
mkfs -v somefile
mkfs -v -V somefile
