Also it looks like you're using a loop device, the instructions you gave me 
aren't complete enough for me to reproduce.  What is the actual setup you are 
using?  How big is your loop device?  Is it a backing device?  I had to do -b 
<device> to get the test to even start to run, but I've got a 2tib ssd, am I 
supposed to be using something else?  Thanks,
