[DOCUMENTATION] Spelling mistake in man page of mfks.xfs
Last modified: 2018-04-10 11:08:51 EDT
Description of problem: I saw in RHEL 7.4 in "man mkfs.xfs" If you go down to the part where ftype is mentioned: the spelling for "signifying" is wrong, could we please fix this? ~~~ ftype=value :: The value is either 0 or 1, with 1 signifiying that filetype information will be stored in the directory structure. The default value is 0. :: ~~~
I think this typo error is not so important, but if we'd like to fix it, maybe backport this commit, then this typo error can be fixed together? commit f10a5ab0b3a4cb8a7e17a4935fb33d283c3dd31f Author: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net> Date: Tue Sep 20 08:48:54 2016 +1000 mkfs.xfs: clarify ftype defaults in manpage
Its not important, if possible we can fix it, but it can be left as it is for later times.
We're updating xfsprogs for other bugs anyway, and the upstream commit which fixes it fixes technical inaccuracies as well, so it's worth doing now I think. Thanks, -Eric
