First of all ... RHEL-2.1 no longer accepts such kind of fixes.
Second, mkfs doesnt belongs to filesystem package - filesystem package takes care only about basic system directory hierarchy. So reassigning to util-linux and closing WONTFIX (as this is not going to change in RHEL-2.1). If you still experience this issue with RHEL-5+, feel free to reopen this bugzilla against that product.

And - please - next time - please contact product support instead of using bugzilla - bugzilla is not support tool for RHEL, just bug progress tracking tool - and priority is driven by the requests via support channels.
