In addition to Han's comments, I suggest updating the documentation, both for ovsdb-tool itself and Documentation/ref/ovsdb.7.rst. This kind of tool can't be sure to get an up-to-date snapshot of the database, since it only looks at one member of the raft cluster and therefore can't be sure about the current consensus, so it's more risky to use it than an online operation like "ovsdb-client backup". That's probably OK in some circumstances (notably, if the cluster is already down and can't be easily revived), but I think that the documentation should be clear that there is a trade-off. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
