If you define a "bug" to include flawed logic or reasoning then yes - this is a bug. It demonstrates a level of shallow thought usually associated with toys and simple games where there are a small, finite number of outcomes. If you define a "bug" along the line of Adm. Grace Hopper's reference - as something that causes destruction, then no, this is not a bug and is a simple "feature".

Doing some server/node cleanup, I noticed an interesting "anomaly" caused by a server-to-server export. I consider it a "bug". Curios on your opinions. This node was exported to a different server. The node contains Oracle filesystems named /u01, /u02, /u03 and /u04 I went to delete the target server copy and found not only the above file systems, but also /u05-/u08 I know that when doing server-to-server exports, if you don't say " mergefilespaces" and an duplicate filesystem exists, the import process automagically adds a "1", "2" and so forth to the name of the duplicate imported filesystems. I know this is what happened since I also found a " /1" (root) and "/boot1" (boot) filesystem on the target server. It was confusing to see the /u05-/u08 until I saw the object counts/sizes were identical for /u04 and /u08. IMHO, I look at this as a bug. I would have expected a /u011, /u021, /u031 and /u041 for the duplicates, not taking the last digit and incrementing it. IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
