I just got a blkgetsize* testprogram...
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62038)

---snip---
root@hp:~# ./blkgetsizetester /dev/sda2
Device size is 83968 blocks (42991616 bytes)
Device size per BLKGETSIZE64 is 12345 bytes
root@hp:~# ./blkgetsizetester /dev/sda5 
Device size is 1026016 blocks (525320192 bytes)
Device size per BLKGETSIZE64 is 12345 bytes
root@hp:~#
---snip---

I think thats the problem with xfs... well at least blkgetsize64 should report
an error, if its not working correctly.

bye
