From e2883e2792023e32033d35697d9676fbf1fb1394 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phillip Susi Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:37:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: clarify inode ratio in man page The man page still said it was not possible to change the number of inodes on a filesystem after creating it. You actually can by resizing the fs, so clarify this language a bit.
