I think a little error creeped into the documentation.

You write:

  Level 1 - (radix 10 + 21) 16KB blockmap representing 2GB

Shouldn't it be

  64KB blockmap?

Also, is it still true that HAMMER2 is always sized in multiples of 8MB?
What is the reason behind? To make sure that we have a least one volume
header backup?
