What was your partition layout? Mkfs_1.4 seems not to recognize the last
entry of the partition map. If you have one large partition that uses
the whole disk, mkfs_1.4 does not see it. If you leave 1 k free after it,
mkfs_1.4 sees it and lets you set it up.

Well, it is "DATA" and that may be everything. Also, the format may be
different from that used in version 1.2.

Best wishes,
