Bugs item #311391, was opened at 30/01/2009 09:46 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: David Paleino (hanska-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: DBTS 471266: lvm completion does not work properly Distribution: None Originally reported in: Debian BTS Original bug number: 471266
Initial Comment: Command line completion (in /etc/bash_completion) for the lvm2 suite of tools does not work very well and it would be better to remove it altogether. Examples of broken behaviour: # lvextend --size <tab> This only allows completion on the words in the list "g G k K m M t T". However a number must also be entered before the the units and then the units cannot be completed. This is of such marginal utility that is should be removed (IMHO). # lvextend --size +40G <tab> The completes on the physical volumes, not the logical volumes as it should. This is because it counts "+40G" as the logical volume (the first non-option argument) and assumes that a physical volume path is now needed. I think there are a number of other situations when the completion fails. I always seem to have to type a path to the logical volume without tab completion available. It would be better if it did not try any specific completion at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=311391&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
