Package: obnam
Version: 1.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Dear Maintainer,
The manpage sectin for the mount command is incomplete. It says:
obnam [options] mount [ROOT]
and only provides details for the viewmode and fuse-opts options
Using the mount commmand that way simply doesn't work.
I have been able to find online docs to make it work, see
http://vlists.pepperfish.net/pipermail/obnam-flarn.net/2013-April/000745.html
The basic usage is:
obnam mount --config=normal.conf --generation NN --to=/mount/point --root=/
(where --root is path within repo generation NN)
Alternatively you can mount all generations in separate subdirectories
obnam mount --config=normal.conf --viewmode=multiple --to=/mount/point
--root=/
(you can also set --root if they all have the same prefix)
So, the manpage should at least read
obnam [options] mount --to=[MOUNTPOINT] --root=[ROOT]
because it doesn't work at all without these options, and --root and --to have
different meanings for the mount command and backup/restore commands.
Thanks
