 -> returns without error message, buit nothing is done.
 
 Note that `newfs' does a very bad job of returning errors in the MFS
 case.  So far as I can tell, the only place where errors in MFS
 creation are indicated is the syslog.  What's worse, it doesn't even
 appear to return a correct error indication back to the parent
 process.
