Ah, ok. I'll need to look at the history of that, because I think I
can see what it is intended to mean, but the "power-of-two" sizes
that are enforced will also enforce the "integer multiple" part,
too. I think it was more intended for people using wierd stripe
units (e.g. 96k) to say the equivalent on 2x96k is a valid log
buffer size. I suspect we need to revisit both the code and the
documentation here....

Cheers,

Dave.
