Bug#520027: lvcraete, lvremove: explicitly mention in the man pages that --quiet is not implemented

2009-03-17 Thread shaul Karl 

In any case, shouldn't there be more documentation about having classes of 
messages, and the relation to --quiet? Or a suggestion to redirect to /dev/null 
for complete silence?

 Nah, it is implemented.
 
 It probably doesn't behave the way you would expect.
 All it does is override any verbose or debug settings.
 
 It does not remove any other output issued by the program
 to stdout or stderr.
 
 So you'll still get warning messages.
 
 I'd reject that patch upstream, but instead suggest
 discussing whether to
 redefine --quiet to suppress additional classes of
 messages.
