In the past, we've used mkfs.gfs2 expert mode to create certain test
conditions, like very small resource groups. I don't think Nate uses
this in any of his tests, but it might be worth asking.
I've used it to try to recreate certain failing scenarios, but I haven't
needed it in years. Are we sure we want to get rid of it?
