Small but technical typo correction.
There may be more preferred mark ups (e.g., no space between the negative
sign and "block-sized") or expressions (e.g., absolute value instead of
negation).

wow I didn't even know that behavior existed.
How about "If block-size is preceded by a negative sign ("-"), then mke2fs
will use heuristics to determine the appropriate block size, with the
constraint that the block size will be at least block-size bytes."

I think this is more readable; thanks!

This bit of the mke2fs manpage is slightly confusing:
-b block-size
Specify the size of blocks in bytes. <snip>
If block-size is negative, then mke2fs will use heuristics
to determine the appropriate block size, with the constraint
that the block size will be at least block-size bytes.
because it sounds like the block size will be at least a negative
number. Clarify just what the negative sign means.

Applied, thanks.
