Description hyao@redhat.com 2013-10-29 01:46:09 UTC 
Description
Typo in virt-install manual on RHEL6, should use "an"instead of "and" in format option description. 

Version:
# rpm -qa python-virtinst libvirt
python-virtinst-0.600.0-18.el6.noarch
libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
#man virt-install
format
            ...

             With libvirt 0.8.3 and later, this option should be specified if reusing and existing disk image, since libvirt
             does not autodetect storage format as it is a potential security issue. For example, if reusing an existing qcow2
             image, you will want to specify format=qcow2, otherwise the hypervisor may not be able to read your disk image.
2. Check the virt-install manual on rhel7
# rpm -qa libvirt virt-manager
libvirt-1.1.1-10.el7.x86_64
virt-manager-0.10.0-4.el7.noarch

#man virt-install
format
            ...
             With libvirt 0.8.3 and later, this option should be specified if reusing an existing disk image, since libvirt does not
             autodetect storage format as it is a potential security issue. For example, if reusing an existing qcow2 image, you will want
             to specify format=qcow2, otherwise the hypervisor may not be able to read your disk image.


Actual results:
Typo of "reusing and existing disk image" is listed in virt-install manual on RHEL6, not on RHEL7.

Expected results:
List "reusing an existing disk image" in virt-install manual on RHEL6.

Reproduce with python-virtinst-0.600.0-18.el6.noarch.

Verified with package:
python-virtinst-0.600.0-20.el6.noarch

steps:

# man virt-install
         format
             ...
             With libvirt 0.8.3 and later, this option should be specified if reusing an existing disk image, since
             libvirt does not autodetect storage format as it is a potential security issue. For example, if reusing
             an existing qcow2 image, you will want to specify format=qcow2, otherwise the hypervisor may not be
             able to read your disk image.

No typo of "reusing and existing disk image" showed,so move to verified.
