Hi Linuxers...

I am wondering if one of you might know how I should go about in doing a 
'mkfs' for a 208 MB partition.  As it stands, here is what my drive partion 
looks like:

        Device Boot  Begin   Start      End  Blocks  Id  System
     /dev/hda1  *        1      63    82655   41296+   6 DOS 16-bits >= 32M
     /dev/hda2       82656   82656   164577   40961   81 Linux/MINIX
     /dev/hda3      164578  164578   205539   20481   82 Linux swap
     /dev/hda4      205540  205540   621934  208197+   5 Extended

hda1 is for DOS, hda2 is Linux root, hda3 is for swap and hda4 is 'useless' 
if I try to use 'mkfs'.  When I run it against hda4, I get the following:

mkfs: number of blocks must be less than 65536 fro a Minix-type filesystem.

Any suggestions on how I could resolve this would be greatly appreciated.  
If this appears in the FAQ, please forgive me.

Doug!
