It's very tiny, I'll admit. It came with a camera I bought about four months ago. Needless to say, this is the first time it's ever been used for anything; I keep a 2GB SD card in said camera. > Yes, it must have been 32 meg. reiserfs uses a 4k blocksize by default, > and as it mentions, an 8193 block journal, again by default.

I'm inclined to agree with you; this card was just used for the purpose of improperly unmounting LUKS filesystems because it was laying around. I could just as easily have used a file system image or an external hard drive from the corner store. -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: http://drwho.virtadpt.net/ ...and that is how we know the earth is banana-shaped.
