Smallest ext2 file system?

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

I've been experimenting with using an image file to hold small sets of
files, and have run into a snag. If I make the file only a few K large,
mke2fs complains it can't write a superblock. So, my question is: What is
the smallest ext2 file system that can be created?

Any suggestions welcomed,

Dwarf
