Description Milos Malik 2009-03-17 11:33:49 UTC
Description of problem:
Manual page claims that restore utility works fine when both -P and -A options are given, but the utility rejects them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dump-0.4b41-3.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# man restore | col -b | grep -- "restore.*-P"
       restore  -P  file  [-acdhHklmMNuvVy] [-A file] [-b blocksize] [-f file] 
# restore -P file1 -A file2
restore: A option is not valid for P command
  
Actual results:
-P and -A can be used at the same time

Expected results:
-P and -A cannot be used at the same time

Additional info:

You can see the same problem in the help message:

# restore 2>&1 | grep -- "-P"
        restore -P file [-acdhHlmMuvVy] [-A file] [-b blocksize]

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2009-03-26 17:09:00 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2009-03-30 10:59:04 UTC
This bugzilla was reviewed by QE as a non-FasTrack request.
It has since been proposed for FasTrack. The qa_ack has 
been reset. QE needs to re-review this bugzilla for FasTrack.
