If you mkfs when you have bad RAM, it's highly likely that you'll corrupt
the fs and lose data when you write to it... I once did that by accidentally
running a PC100 DIMM at 133MHz, and it took me ages to find out that it
wasn't my hard disk at fault.

Marge, you're my wife and I love you very much.  But you're living in a
world of makebelieve.  With flowers and bells and leprechauns.  And magic
frogs with funny little hats...
