Hi, since version 1.41 of newfs.c newfs fails to build 2MByte md-based file systems. We use these file systems in our diskless pc's. Unfortunately the code in newfs.c and mkfs.c is too wired for me to understand, but as a couple of printf's show, the code computes the number of cylinders based on default values for the number of tracks (1) and the number of sectors per track (4096). This gives a value of one cylinder and mkfs later on complains about needing at least 2 cylinders per cylinder group. Strange enough newfs still handles 1.44MByte floppies.
