Formatting a RAID volume with XFS using mkfs #3

Hi,

I was able to boot using the kernel with Falcon and want to test the performance using 8 NVMExpress SSD drives in a RAID0.

I have successfully created a software array with mdadm, however it hangs when I tried to format it with mkfs.

$sudo mdadm --create /dev/md5 --level=raid0 --raid-devices=8 --chunk=128 /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme1n1 /dev/nvme2n1 /dev/nvme3n1 /dev/nvme4n1 /dev/nvme5n1 /dev/nvme6n1 /dev/nvme7n1
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md5 started.

$ sudo mkfs.xfs -f -d sunit=256,swidth=2048 -r extsize=2048k /dev/md5

It also hangs when I use parted to edit partitions in the raid volume.
Each nvme devices are clean and works well without falcon.

Do you have any idea on how to address this?
