Subject: [PATCH] ndctl: Avoid confusing error message when operating on all the namespaces
Date: Thu,  8 Jul 2021 15:31:04 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210708100104.168348-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

With only seed namespace present, ndctl results in confusing error messages as
below.

ndctl# ./ndctl/ndctl  enable-namespace all
error enabling namespaces: No such device or address
enabled 0 namespaces

ndctl# ./ndctl/ndctl  disable-namespace all
disabled 3 namespaces

ndctl# ./ndctl/ndctl  destroy-namespace all -f
  Error: destroy namespace: namespace1.0 failed to enable for zeroing, continuing

  Error: destroy namespace: namespace1.1 failed to enable for zeroing, continuing

  Error: destroy namespace: namespace0.0 failed to enable for zeroing, continuing

destroyed 0 namespaces
ndctl#

With the patch we get
ndctl# ./ndctl/ndctl  disable-namespace all
disabled 0 namespaces

ndctl# ./ndctl/ndctl  enable-namespace all
enabled 0 namespaces

ndctl# ./ndctl/ndctl  destroy-namespace all -f
destroyed 0 namespaces
ndctl#
