Hi Duncan, hello Kevin,

first of all, thank you very much for your explanations. They solved my 
problem.

I had build KDE4 on top of a kde-3.5 system, Util-linux and e2fsprogs where 
old versions. 
I built, as advised, util-linux-ng-2.16.2 and e2fsprogs-1.41.9. But then I run 
on another problem: the message "wrong fs, bad superblock etc" persisted, but 
the system advice to run dmesg | tail told me, that it is necessary to build 
the kernel with -> enable the block layer -> support for large ( 2TB+ ) block 
devices and files ( although my files are all small ). After that, everything 
runs smoothly.

This for the records. I would not have find out the  util-linux and e2fsprogs 
issue without your hints, so again thank you very much.

Edgar
