Are you trying to mount the ext4 partition using Grub? If so, mkfs.ext4 
probably created 256-byte inodes, but the version of Grub that come 
with CentOS can only recognize 128-byte inodes. Recreate the ext4 
partition using 128-byte inodes (use the -I option), or upgrade Grub to 
a non-CentOS version.
