[ale] mke2fs does not create correct size fs?

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

I have a unique problem creating a filesystem greater than 4GB.
If I try to create a parttion using fdisk for anything greater than
4GB, mke2fs only creates 2GB of usable space.?? I have a 20GB parttion on
another machine so I'm sure I can create it.?? I have attached sfdisk output proving that the parttion is greater than 4GB a?? and df output only showing 2GB available.?? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe df is misreporting size.?? I'm using the latest version of busybox.?? Of course you'll also notice that /dev/ram7 is reported twice in the output of df. 

/dev/root is actually mounted on /usr.?? it seems that /dev/root is reported twice in /proc/mounts and exerything looks good in /etc/mtab.

Thanks,
Chris
