Please try "mke2fs -r0 -s0" and see my message
<[🔎] 871zdjx365.fsf@PC486.Niemitalo.LAN> "incompatible mke2fs 1.15".

If you have an older binary package like e2fsprogs_1.14-2.deb
somewhere, you can install that with "dpkg --install".
It will warn you about downgrading but proceed anyway.

I could send that version to you if you want.  But I don't have
the source of that version, only 1.15-1.
