Hey.

Not sure if it would be counted exactly as a "bug". In tunefs(8) manpage, it
doesn't talk about unit of the average file size. Is it in sectors? blocks?
bytes? KB?

As I asked in the IRC room on LiberaChat, folks said it is probably in bytes.
And I found the same when going through source code. I understand more
experienced users know this. But for me as a new user in the FreeBSD world, it
was not clear.

So it'll be good to add a note there.

Farooq.
