I've found my problem. It seems that if JFS is compiled in the kernel, there is some interference with reiserfs. The correct parameters with the default SuSE kernel is
mkreiserfs /dev/dasdx1 :) FYI <-------------mkreiserfs, 2001-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x.0k-pre8 12799k will be used item: 1 2 0x0 SD (0), len 44, location 4052 entry count 0, fsck need 0, format new 1 2 0x1 DIR (3), len 48, location 4004 entry count 2, fsck need 0, format old Creating reiserfs of 3.6 format Block size 4096 bytes Block count 1803036 Used blocks 8267 According to DF after the filesystem is made, shows 2403988 1K blocks on the device and 32640 Used blocks with a 2% usage (for the journal. The difference in blocks is basically due to reiser reporting in 4k blocks and DF in 1K blocks. Jim *** Grace Happens ***
