Well, good to know I'm not alone?  :-)

I was just about to mail and report that disabling NUMA does help:

   NUMA + mke2fs on LVM:      OOPS  (mailed earlier)
no NUMA + mke2fs on LVM:      okay
   NUMA + mke2fs on sdb1:     OOPS  (below)
no NUMA + mke2fs on sdb1:     okay

no NUMA + mount e2fs on LVM:  okay
no NUMA + mount e2fs on sb1:  okay
   NUMA + mount e2fs on LVM:  okay
   NUMA + mount e2fs on sb1:  untested, assume okay


OOPs when doing mke2fs on /dev/sdb1, with NUMA enabled:

Randy, if you're interested and you're actually at OSDL Beaverton, I'm
just across the street from you.  I could carry this 1U server and 3U
drive cabinet over to you!  :)

Who's responsible for the K8_NUMA stuff?  I'd love to work with them to
narrow this down.

- Brad
