Hi,
I'm running util-linux 2.19.1 with a x86_64 linux 3.0.1 on Arch Linux.
mkswap displays the following output when trying to create swap on a
8GiB logical volume.
> # mkswap /dev/mapper/vg_brynhild-swap
> mkswap: warning: truncating swap area to 2097144 KiB
> mkswap: /dev/mapper/vg_brynhild-swap: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors

I tried adding -p 8589934592 to force 8GiB, but that doesn't change
anything.
It also fails to see that we are using LVM so this is not a real device
and we won't overwrite any boot sectors.
busybox mkswap crates the expected 8GiB swap, so I think this is a bug.
