Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mke2fs: use binary units in the man page
Date: Wed,  9 Feb 2011 14:03:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297256607-4654-2-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1297256607-4654-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com>

(v2: do not spell units - mebibytes etc... - but rather use just abbrev.)

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.
