Another alternative is to use:
mke2fs -n <device>

Taken from the man page:
man mke2fs

In fact a variant of the mke2fs (mkfs) command is available on a few
Unix operating systems, and typically use the -n option to print out
what's going to happen when you run the mkfs / mke2fs command, without
creating it.
