@@ -49,8 +49,11 @@ Instead of using the normal superblock, use an alternative superblock
 specified by 
 .IR superblock .
 This option is normally used when the primary superblock has been
-corrupted; most filesystems have primary superblocks located at 
-blocks 8193, 16385, etc.  If an alternative superblock is specified and 
+corrupted.  The location of the backup superblock is dependent on the
+filesystem's blocksize.  For filesystems with 1k blocksizes, a backup
+superblock can be found at block 8193; for filesystems with 2k
+blocksizes, at block 16384; and for 4k blocksizes, at block 32768.  If
+an alternative superblock is specified and  
 the filesystem is not opened read-only, e2fsck will make sure that the
 primary superblock is updated appropriately upon completion of the 
 filesystem check.
