Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v4] mke2fs: use binary units in the man page
Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 12:30:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307269845-15062-2-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1307269845-15062-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com>
Decimal units (kilobyte 10^3, megabyte 10^6 etc...) were used in
mke2fs manual page, however they was really meant to be binary units
(kibibyte 2^10, mebibyte 2^20 etc...), so change the man pages to
reflect that fact, even if it sounds weird.

[v2]: do not spell units - mebibytes etc... - but rather use just abbrev
[v3]: add Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
[v4]: nothing
