Is 1.45 the latest version of Mkfs?

I used Silverlining to partition a hard drive as follows:
/     => 100Mb
swap  =>  64Mb
/usr  => 450Mb  (actually what's left over)
/home => 100Mb

The problems are:

1.  I format the following partitions in order: /, /usr, /home.  After
    the install, df reports the size of /home to be about 613Mb with
    about 30Mb free.  I did a newfs from the UNIX side and df reports
    the size to be 99Mb.

2.  After severe file system damage, I decided to re-install everything.
    I formated the partitions in this order: /, /home, /usr.  After
    installing everything, df reports the size of /home to be 190MB and
    /usr to be around 600MB.  I didn't trust this so....

3.  I reformatted again. This time I formatted one partition and then quit
    Mkfs.  I did this for each partition. The order is: /usr, /home, /.
    The results are pending  ( I'm installing the minimum as I am
    writing this).

Is anyone else seeing this problem???
