Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1958:
-----------------------------------
bq. particularly when an experienced commmitter is raising questions about it?
Excuse me - I took Nicholas's question for a joke, to be honest, given it
referenced high school students and didn't raise technical objections.
bq. fsck and format are different: it is okay to accidentally click "y" for
fsck but not for format.
OK, another comparison: mke2fs doesn't ask for confirmation at all. I checked
this across ext2, ext3, and ntfs.
> Format confirmation prompt should be more lenient of its input
