I didn't record the block addresses MKFS reported. So I cannot compare
them.
I think you can run MKFS without really formatting the partition and
see what it says, can't you?
Sorry, I wasn't using my brain when I wrote this. You can see the
geometry without formatting a partition, but can't see super block
addresses.
