From eddf36bac0af31008d8babfa53072203582aecae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:59:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs.8.in: clarify the sign of a block-size constraint. This bit of the mke2fs manpage is slightly confusing: -b block-size Specify the size of blocks in bytes. If block-size is negative, then mke2fs will use heuristics to determine the appropriate block size, with the constraint that the block size will be at least block-size bytes. because it sounds like the block size will be at least a negative number. Clarify just what the negative sign means.
