hi
it works with IMB's JFS
when i try mkfs -t reiserfs -f /dev/myData/SRC it segfaults :

[root at svetljo mnt]# mkfs -t reiserfs -f /dev/myData/SRC
mkreiserfs, 2001 - reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j
===================================================================
LEAF NODE (8211) contains level=1, nr_items=2, free_space=3932 rdkey

Segmentation fault

isn't that a bit strange that reiserfs and xfs doesn't handle it, but 
jfs does

and the one with ext2 :

[root at svetljo mnt]# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/myData/SRC
mke2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09

Writing inode tables: Segmentation fault

i realy don't like that
