Hi all,

a problem occured while testing our mkreiserfs utility with different
blocksizes. Now we have the following situation:

ioctl (fd, BLKGETSIZE, &size) returns 5735142 of 512-byte blocks.

1. mkreiserfs /dev/hdf8 --block-size 1024
no problem, block count == 2867571

2. mkreiserfs /dev/hdf8 --blocksize 2048(or 4096)
no problem, block count == 1433785 (or 716892)

3. mount /dev/hdf8, umount

4. mkreiserfs /dev/hdf8 --blocksize 1024(or 2048)
block count == 2867567 (or 1433783), it is a bit different!

ioctl (fd, BLKGETSIZE, &size) always returns the same result,
but we just cannot read the last 3k bytes. 

The small program (attached) shows interesting results also.

After 

1. mkreiserfs /dev/hdf8 --block-size 1024
2. mount/umount
