The obvious problem that always comes up in this situation is existing scripts that parse the output. I'm writing several myself, but using -H where available. And where -H is available, I think you should feel free to change the default output when -H is not present, on the grounds that scripts parsing output SHOULD use -H. In my own scripts, I often use -o to specify the output even if it's default or very close to default, as defense against default output changing on me. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
