Bug Description
Binary package hint: reiserfsprogs
Environment:
Ubuntu 6.06
Steps to reproduce:
- create a RAID5 using four ~300MB disks. Total array size is 839G. The array is on /dev/md0. [maybe the bug would appear without RAID too]
- mkfs.reiserfs -b 8192 /dev/md0
- mount /dev/md0 /media/raid
Result:
"Mount" does not recognize the file system.
However, if the block size is 4096 - the file system is created and working perfectly.

4096 bytes is the only supported block size for reiserfs. The man page for mkfs.reiserfs should be corrected to not state that any other size is supported.
