Explain which valid block sizes mke2fs supports in more detail. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>Should this mention that the default block size is 4096 bytes for most filesystems?That would be to the "heuristic" parts. Yes, I agree, I'll add that.quoted
It might mention e.g. ppc64 or aarch64 can use 64KB page size, but this is definitely an improvement already.Yeah, I can add that to the "page size" part. But with these archs there's a catch that page size can be configured in the kernel config so the formulation will need to be a bit more careful. But I'll add something.quoted
Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger <redacted>Thanks! I'll send v2.
Did you ever send a v2 of this patch? I can't seem to find it in my archives or in patchwork. Thanks!! - Ted
