gparted is failing me.It is a logical partition(/dev/sdc10) labled
/home. It is 48 GB large. here is my attempt at using mkfs:
michael at MyNUC:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^64bit -L '/opt' '/dev/sdc10' 00:00:03

by this feature enable full-strength checksumming. Pass -O 64bit to
rectify.

Hmmmmmmm.... not enough space? But gparted says:
All operations completed successfully though the error report says
otherwise (including saying I created a MSDOS partition when I created
ext4 partitions).
(error report)
48.00 GiB of unallocated space within the partition.
To grow the file system to fill the partition, select the partition
and choose the menu item:
Partition --> Check.
and I run the partition check and the result is:
