Bug#703211: btrfs-tools: btrfsck doesn't do anything by default and doesn't document command line options

2014-02-16 Thread Julius Seemayer
tag 703211 + confirmed
thanks

Hi,


I  can confirm this bug.  The man page is nearly unusable and doesn't document
any  parameters,  even  though the btrfsck binary accepts them.  (Although the
argument handling is broken in Wheezy, see #739246.)


Cheers,

Julius

Bug#703211: btrfs-tools: btrfsck doesn't do anything by default and doesn't document command line options

2013-03-16 Thread Russell Coker
Package: btrfs-tools
Version: 0.19+20120328-7.1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

By default btrfsck doesn't write any changes to disk.  This isn't documented in
the man page or the help output when btrfsck is run.

Obviously the operation of the program needs to be documented.  Also I think
that when it is run without a parameter such as --repair then when it completes
it should display a message such as "no changes made to disk as --repair was
not used" so that the user isn't left wondering why their filesystem is still
broken after btrfsck has been run.
