Yep, that was the default run, 4K block.

Thanks a lot.  Perfect reference. That is quite enough for a good start.

This kvm-xfstests is a nice thingy.  That was pretty annoying to rebuild
xfsprogs on a debian jessie, which does not have 'xfs_io -c finsert' by
default.

Theodore, recently I sent an ext4/023 xfstest test.  New test reproduces
the problem with a wrong right shift.  I tried to make the test explicit,
but not sure succeeded or not.  Probably, md5sum is not a good choice to
make things clear, but hexdump of 1000 blocks is quite large (~80K).
Could you please take a look?

Now I am running kvm-xfstests, will figure out what I've done wrong with
recent ext4 patches.
