Using the 1.1.7 utils on Red Hat ES3 I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# uname -a
Linux vefur 2.4.21-20.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 20:46:40 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# dmesg | grep -i jfs
JFS development version: $Name: v1_1_7 $
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mkfs]# ./jfs_mkfs /dev/vg00/lvol7
./jfs_mkfs version 1.1.7, 22-Jul-2004
Warning! All data on device /dev/vg00/lvol7 will be lost!
Continue? (Y/N) Y
The specified disk did not finish formatting.
Internal error3: Format failed rc=ffffffff
That error message (Internal error3) was changed by me because the code
had the same identical error message in several places.
The code breaks here (From line 1053 of mkfs.c):
logloc = number_of_blocks - logsize;
number_of_blocks -= logsize;
l2absize = log2shift(aggr_block_size);
rc = jfs_logform(dev_handle, aggr_block_size, l2absize,
type_jfs | type_commit, logloc, logsize, NULL,
NULL);
if (rc != 0) {
message_user(MSG_OSO_FORMAT_FAILED, NULL, 0, OSO_MSG);
DBG_ERROR(("Internal error3: Format failed rc=%x\n", rc))
close(dev_handle);
return (rc);
}
Apparently jfs_logform doesnt like my disk.

Any hints on whats wrong ?

Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
