Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.6-9
r...@euclides:~# 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.
