Description Achilles Gaikwad 2017-09-04 07:54:13 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?

    mkfs.xfs: clarify ftype defaults in manpage
Comment 3 Achilles Gaikwad 2017-10-05 20:55:43 EDT
Its not important, if possible we can fix it, but it can be left as it is for later times.
Comment 4 Eric Sandeen 2017-10-06 09:52:17 EDT
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
