Thanks, Jon! That did solve the tests failing with inconsistent fs.

As an aside, when I installed e2fsprogs using simply 'make install', it
replaced /sbin/blkid with it's own version (1.0.0), down from what I had
(2.x). Reinstalling the util-linux-ng package brings me back up...
(I had to modify the check script in xfstests to use the -p option in
blkid to actually read superblock since ramdisks don't seem to make it
into /etc/blkid/blkid.tab, and this wasn't there in blkid v1.0.0).

I quickly searched for a bit of history on the topic, and sounds like I
should be using --disable-libblkid for configure. Tried that, and got
some errors, the same as seen here:

Any suggestions?
