Can you give a couple examples of what type of output you would like to see in response to certain errors?

Can you give a couple examples > of what type of output you would like to see in response to certain errors? Jon, pvcreate was giving us following message. "Device /dev/xvdb1 not found (or ignored by filtering).". This is very generic and it would be nice if error was more specific. For example, first breakdown could happen, whether device node is not present or whether it was ignored by filtering. And even for filtering, it would be nice to know what does that mean. On what specific attribute, a device was filtered out. closing for rhel7. rhel8 will soon explain what filter rejected a device. |
