I personally prefer structured information like lists or tables and
dislike large text blocks ;-) 

However, in this case, I'm not sure if the description adds anything,
as it repeats what is obvious from STATE, CONFIGURED, MEMMAP-ON-MEMORY
columns.

What I find relevant is "previously configured." Maybe add a sentence
stating that CONFIGURED and MEMMAP-ON-MEMORY for _offline_ blocks show
the previous setup.

Benno, what do you think?
