	But if the stack is down, you necessarily have all the nodes
unmounted.  If you have all the nodes unmounted, you can easily have the
stack up and just use tunefs as-is, I would think.
	Basically, you only run into the LVB size problem if the
lockspace already exists.  That only happens if someone is mounted.  And
if someone is mounted, you sure as heck don't want to --force.
