The various mkfs commands are not. Not one of them I know of. Additionally each one gives a different output. pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate and as well as the remove commands and probably other LVM commands are not (no one could argue, that from their ideas they come from HP/UX, but thats a Unix as well): merkaba:~> lvcreate -L 1G -n bla sata Logical volume "bla" created. And I think, not testing right now, that also mdadm is not silent on creating a softraid. So while I agree with you that regular shell commands (coreutils, util-linux) are silent on success usually this does not appear to be the case with storage related commands in GNU/Linux. I don´t have a clear oppinion about it other than I´d like to see some standard too. coreutils / util-linux both them to have some kind of standard, although not necessarily the same standard I bet. And I am not sure whether it is documented somewhere. -- Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
