I didn't build them myself, I took the official woody intall floppies from the /debian/dists/testing/main/disks-i386/3.0.21-2002-03-19/images-1.44/bf2.4 directory located on an official debian mirror. The mkreiserfs shipping with those install floppies do _not_ support either the -q or the -v2 argument. You'll find the transcript of the output of mkreiserfs and at the end of this mail... If this problem is caused by an outdated woody package, then this report should be transfered to the builder of the install disks.
