Description Corey Marthaler 2023-05-04 19:22:58 UTC

Description of problem:
This is a fairly minor gripe... since lvmdevices is just a system.devices file editor, and if we're going to support the --test flag with it, then the current message of "TEST MODE: Metadata will NOT be updated and volumes will not be (de)activated." doesn't really apply to this command. Something more along the lines of "TEST MODE: system.devices file will not be altered" would be more appropriate.


[root@grant-01 ~]# lvmdevices --test --deldev /dev/sdg1
  TEST MODE: Metadata will NOT be updated and volumes will not be (de)activated.
[root@grant-01 ~]# lvmdevices --test --adddev /dev/sdg1
  TEST MODE: Metadata will NOT be updated and volumes will not be (de)activated.
