I only needed to add -o force option.
Forcing anything with any filesystem seems like a bad idea to me unless you:

1) Use it in read-only mode (And even then this can be dangerous. Anyone remember ext2 on freeBSD 4?)
2) You are comfortable with losing any and all data on the partition.
3) You are comfortable with your machine crashing.
