That might be the reason it works fine here, then.
I run just one fossil to service several partitions.

> What was strange was the slow speed of the mkfs | mkext.

forsyth pointed out to me that if you run mkfs | mkext with
the source and destination on the same physical disk, it's
likely to be quite slow because kfs and fossil will fight over
the disk, causing a lot of seeking.  it should be much faster to run

	mkfs >/file/on/other/disk
	mkext </file/on/other/disk

in fact, /file/on/other/disk could be a spare raw disk partition,
since the archive has its own eof marker.
