just reading the man page for "mke2fs" and noticed, for the first time, this about the "-b" blocksize option: "If block-size is negative, then mke2fs will use hueristics [sic] to determine the appropriate block size, with the constraint that the block size will be at least block-size bytes. This is use- ful for certain hardware devices which require that the block- size be a multiple of 2k." normally, if i ask for a blocksize of, say, 2047, mke2fs will round down to the next lower valid blocksize of 1024. but if i use -2047, it should give me a blocksize of 2048? it doesn't work that way, i still get a blocksize of 1024. how should i interpret that statement in the man page? rday
