It's possible based on a race conditions (and possibly the version of
coreutils which supplies /usr/bin/yes) that commands of the form:

yes | $MKFS_PROG ...

will end up causing the following failure:

shared/298 16s ... [23:49:03] [23:49:19] - output mismatch (see /results/results-4k/shared/298.out.bad)

    +++ /results/results-4k/shared/298.out.bad 2014-11-29 23:49:19.118138099 -0500

Using mke2fs's -F option instad of "yes | $MKFS_PROG" fixes this issue.
