Well, it looks like the problem is between mkfs and selinux. The box that works is set to
# sestatus SELinux status: disabled
While the one that doesn't work is running selinux, so is this a bug, can anyone else mkfs on selinux=1 box's? I haven't run into this before and I know I have other box's running selinux that i've created new fs on.
Forgot to include the fact I booted with selinux=0 and made the file system.
