Subject: Bug#415080: Poor error message from xfsdump for incorrect args
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 09:47:50 +1100

Package: xfsdump
Version: 2.2.38-1 

I do:
	xfsdump -l 0 -p -f afile filesystem
and get
	xfsdump: ERROR: -^@ argument missing
because -p needs a numeric argument.

The message should say -p argument missing.

Subject: Bug#415081: xfsdump doesn't accept relative pathnames to
mountpoints
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 09:54:52 +1100

Package: xfsdump
Version: 2.2.38-1

I have a filesystem mounted at /export.

I do:
	cd /
	xfsdump -l 0 -f /path/to/file export
and see
xfsdump: ERROR: export does not identify a file system

	xfsdump -l 0 -f /path/to/file /export 

works.

Ah, great - thanks for that.  Ever seen the second problem reported
there before (the wierd absolute vs relative pathname thing)?

cheers.
