symbolic link ??? sounds very interesting...

Oops, an error. It is: 

hda7    f       [free]                  128 Mbytes      4 kB/Cluster 
hda8    g       [free]                  128 Mbytes      4 kB/Cluster 
hda9    h       /usr/src  [my sources]  256 MBytes      8 kB/Cluster 

>2. How did you manage to get 4kB clusters on hda5. That should be 2kiB
>cluster if you let DOZE format create it.

Yes in theorie !!!
Whenever I have used fdisk and format I get only 4 kByte Clutser but 
no 2 kByte clusters. I think, this is a bug un the german Version of 
msdos 6.22. 

I do not like to buy Partition Magic because it is too expensive and 
I do not like to use an illegal Copy of it. 

I like to stay with GNU. 

Is there a GPL'ed tool to format correctly ??? 

Same is for partition of 32 MBytes... Partition Magic can do maximiseing 
partitions perfectly, if I choose 512 Byte Clusters for example...

Ok, again and a some corrections. The exact sizees are: 

hda1    c       MD-DOS, DJGPP           125 MBytes      4 kB/Cluster 

# c:/622msdos   msdos 6.22, ados 
# c:/dosdevel   djgpp, c, c++, nasm, rhide, perl, watt-32, allegro 
# c:/dosnet     packet-drv, arachne, lynx, wget, ftp, nfs-client, pine 
# c:/dosprog    word 5.5, acrobat 3.0 
# c:/dostools   seal, ... 

hda5    d       swappartition            62 MBytes      4 kB/Cluster 

# curently a swapping problem... because it try to use c:/

hda6    e       tmp                     125 MBytes      4 kB/Cluster 

hda7    f       [free]                  125 Mbytes      4 kB/Cluster 
hda8    g       [free]                  125 Mbytes      4 kB/Cluster 

# hda was an error from me, because it is 4 kByte too

hda9    h       /usr/src  [my sources]  237 MBytes      4 kB/Cluster 

nsf     i       mounted /home       117.760 MBytes      4 kByte/Block
