Package: mdadm Version: 2.5.6-9 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mdadm /dev/md0 --bitmap internal mdadm: -b cannot have any extra immediately after it, sorry.
This sentence doesn't parse properly. Cannot have any extra WHAT after it? Also, I typed --bitmap, not -b. -b is '--brief' in this context. mdadm should really tell me that --bitmap makes no sense in this case (or even hint me how to achieve what I want). But maybe much more importantly, mdadm should DEFINITELY not translate long options into short ones and then interpret them in a different context, this could prove disastrous if some innocent long option maps to a possibly dangerous short option in some contexts. I specified a long option intentionally, to prevent misinterpretation. --Jeroen -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-xen-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-83 creates device files in /dev Versions of packages mdadm recommends: ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-tran 4.63-17 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo -- debconf information excluded -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
