If you didn't already post the avc messages that mkfs generated (I've already
deleted the first few msgs of this thread), could you do so?  They'd be
in /var/log/messages (if you have a default syslog config and aren't using
auditd) or in /var/log/audit/audit.log if you have auditd running....

Although I'm suspecting the problem is, as others have mentioned, that your
system needs to be relabeled, and that an improper label on something broke
the mkfs.
