Package: mdadm
Version: 2.6.7-1
Severity: wishlist
It'd nice if the help printed out when running mdadm -G --help also
mentioned the "max" parameter that can be passed to the -z option. Just
a one-line mention would be fine. (I know it's already in the manpage...
I found it trying to come up by hand with the right block size to pass.)
Because otherwise reading the help text gives the impression that you
*have* to specify the maximum size manually, which isn't the case with
the "max" argument. Also, I suspect said "max" argument is passed to -z
a fair bit more often than a numerical value. (It's certainly much less
error-prone).
Thanks,
Christian
