Package: dmsetup Version: 2:1.02.27-4 Severity: important The man page for demsetup fails to describe arguments, such as the "--showkeys" in "dmsetup table --showkeys". >From what I gather this seems to be a pass-through argument to the dm-crypt target, i.e. dmsetup can take target specific oprtions without mentioning the target device. THIS URGENTLY NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED!
Currently this is not only completely undocumented, but the man-page suggests this syntax is not even available. As dmsetup does not have a "--help" output, the information in the man-page is critical. If you do not want to document it in the dmsetup man-page itself, then at least you absolutely and clearly need to describe the possibility, give an example and refer to the documentation for all known targets under "SEE ALSO". Anything else is badly broken and makes the feature (which is needed, somebody just had an urgent need on the dm-crypt mailing list) unusable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dmsetup depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.39-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use dmsetup recommends no packages. dmsetup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
