Now, if blocksize is 512, blocksize>>10 is 0. This explains the problem you're seeing. That said, it's not possible to use a blocksize of 512 with the current release of e2fsprogs. Whether this is intentional or not is unclear to me at the moment. Searching a bit further, I found the following patch: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/hvogel/RPMS/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-probe_reiserf...
With this patch applied, mounting the partition works, however since I can't judge whether this is causing any further problems, some posts I've read talk about performance issues and both mkreiserfs and mount commands took extremely long (even for reiser) when using such small blocksizes I decided to keep core/e2fsprogs in sync with the upstream release.
Hi Johannes, Thanks for the hints. I agree with you and will better not try out obscure configurations. Not only because i still suffer from a very negative experience that is strongly related to my harddisk... matthias
