Hm. Although the values are configurable, it would be good if the default
values shipped with the program were mentioned. May I also suggest breaking the
sentence for easier reading.
SUGGESTION:
-T fs-type
Specify how the filesystem is going to be used, so that mke2fs
can choose optimal filesystem parameters for that use. The
values included in default install are: small, floppy, news,
largefile, largefile4. The exact values for current system are
configure in /etc/mke2fs.conf. For more information, see manual
page of mke2fs.conf(5).
