bad entry in directory #2: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0,

----------------------------

last message was issued when trying to mount ext2fs formatted MO drive.
under earlier kernels (<2.2.1), everything is ok.
looks like ext2fs problem.

mounting msdos formatted MO is ok.


whent trying to format MO (as ext2fs) drive the number of blocks is
wrong - it is twice more then it is.
the error message is:
------------
