Package: cciss-vol-status
Version: 1.03-1
The cciss_vol_status program is useless for unattended monitoring:
dory:~# cciss_vol_status /dev/cciss/c*d0 && echo success
/dev/cciss/c0d0: (Smart Array 6i) RAID 5 Volume 0 status: OK.
success
dory:~# cciss_vol_status /dev/zero && echo success
cciss_vol_status: /dev/zero is not a block device.
success
dory:~# cciss_vol_status /does-not-exist && echo success
cciss_vol_status: open /does-not-exist: No such file or directory
success
The exit status is always 0 (success).

As explained, using -p is what makes cciss-vol-status complain loudly
when one of the device nodes doesn't exist or fails to open.
I'm closing this bug, as I think this is sufficiently documented.
