mptools output

[Christophe Varoqui]

Hello,

I'd like to receive comments on this proposed tools output :

From this :

iet_lun1 (0IET_____ISCSI___________00000000d20600000b00000000000000)
[size=33 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ round-robin 0 [disabled]
  \_ 1:0:0:2  sdc 8:32  [ready ][failed]
  \_ 2:0:0:2  sde 8:64  [ready ][active]
  \_ 24:0:0:2 sdg 8:96  [ready ][active]
  \_ 25:0:0:2 sdi 8:128 [ready ][active]

To that :

iet_lun1 (0IET_____ISCSI___________00000000d20600000b00000000000000)
[size=33 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ round-robin 0        D
  \_ 1:0:0:2  sdc 8:32  FA.
  \_ 2:0:0:2  sde 8:64  AA.
  \_ 24:0:0:2 sdg 8:96  AA.
  \_ 25:0:0:2 sdi 8:128 AA.

PG status bit :
A(ctive), D(isabled) or E(nabled)

Path status bits :
1 = path state as seen by the kernel device mapper
    F(ailed) or A(ctive)
2 = path state as seen by checkers
    F(ailed), A(ctive), G(host), S(haky) or .(unchecked)
3 = claimed
    C(laimed) or .(unclaimed)

I find it easier to eye-parse that way, but maybe others don't agree.

Waiting for comments (not too long),
regards,
cvaroqui

Actually I like the old format quite a bit better and find it much more
readable.

Maybe add an option to the tool to decide? Because I feel more confident
with the old layout. Makes it easier to get the meaning. Especially if
one is new to the subject. But it is a bit noisy the old way.

Greetings,
Philipp

I agree with Lars on both points.
