It is. The actual min is around 40MB (with 32MB used by the journal.

because i am too tired to calculate. mkreiserfs wants 32768 (32*1024) blocks
with a size of 4k. I created the smallest possible image to test reiserfs.

Sure I have.

Blocksize is 4k, mkreiserfs in my version is telling me it can not generate
partitions smaller than 32M but it is not true, i have to do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/loop.img count=32768 size=4096

Yes, I wonder if it is a Error in mkreiserfs to require 128MB.

That just creates a 128Mb file of zeros... This sounds a bit small. Why
"size=4096"??

Yes, I wonder if it is a Error in mkreiserfs to require 128MB.
Have you tried using a smaller blocksize to mkreiserfs?
Sure I have.
