By the way, it has not reached the maximum blocks yet, but it seems it

Generally one bad block will come many, sooner or later. It is a defect
on the surface of the disk. However modern hard
Many vendors supply low-level format utilities which run under DOS. These
programs are
able to mark the bad blocks at a very low level so you can use the disk. Check
out the
disk manufacturer's website. Alternatively, create a small partition over the
first
couple blocks and start your real part

Not only. I don't remeber whether it was already mentioned but by default
5% of the filesystem is "reserved" for the super-user. You may override
this default with -m option to mk2efs.
