I rechecked the fsck -t ext4dev vs. fsck.ext4dev.
fsck -t ext4dev doesn't work for me :-(
Sergey has a newer version of  util-linux-ng
see:

amir@...ab:~/xfstests$ sudo fsck -t ext4dev -nf /dev/sda5
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
/dev/sda5 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C7 FEATURE_C8 FEATURE_R7
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
amir@...ab:~/xfstests$ sudo fsck.ext4dev -nf /dev/sda5
e2fsck 1.41.14-next3-1.0.13-7 (24-May-2011)

What do you thing, Dave?
Should xfstests rely on a non-buggy generic fsck util, or just
implement it's own
non-buggy generic fsck (invoke fsck.$FSTYP directly)
I am running a recent system (Ubuntu 11.4) and I don't thing that upgrading
util-linux should be a requirement for xfstests to work.
