[PATCH 0/6] nvmetcli: Misc. corrections

[Tony Asleson]

While trying to experiment with nvmetcli I've run into
a few issues.  Some changes that I believe are beneficial.

Tony Asleson (6):
  README: Update URL for configshell-fb
  nvmetcli: Improve IOError handling on restore
  nvme.py: Explicit close is redundant
  nvme.py: Sync the containing directory
  nvme.py: Make modprobe work for kmod lib too

[PATCH 2/6] nvmetcli: Improve IOError handling on restore

[Tony Asleson]

Not all IOErrors are caused by specifing a missing configuration
file.  When the file is present, dump the error exception text too,
so the user has a better idea what is wrong.

[PATCH 3/6] nvme.py: Explicit close is redundant

[Tony Asleson]

One of the benefits of using 'with' statement for open files is the
close is going to be called regardless of what happens.

[PATCH 4/6] nvme.py: Sync the containing directory

[Tony Asleson]

It's apparent that some thought went into making sure the config
file makes it atomically to the fs.  However, one thing is missing
which is doing a fsync on the containing directory of the config file.

See: https://lwn.net/Articles/457667/

[PATCH 5/6] nvme.py: Make modprobe work for kmod lib too

The python library 'kmod' is included with libkmod, lets try to use that
if the user isn't utilizing kmodpy.

The link is not broken yet. The agrover is now redirected to
the open-iscsi automatically by the github, so do we need this ?

Anyways, looks good.

Sure, how about


test_nvmet.py: test_invalid_input fails on python 3

When you run attempt to run 'make test' on a system using python 3 the
unit test test_invalid_input fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/someuser/projects/nvmetcli/nvmet/test_nvmet.py", line 395, in
test_invalid_input
    for i in range(l))
  File "/someuser/projects/nvmetcli/nvmet/test_nvmet.py", line 395, in
<genexpr>
    for i in range(l))
AttributeError: module 'string' has no attribute 'lowercase'

Python 3 does not have 'string.lowercase' ref.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html

Both python 2 and python 3 have "string.ascii_lowercase".  Use it
instead so that the code works for both python 2 and python 3.

ref. https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html

Technically at the moment the link is getting redirected to the correct
location, it's not broken "yet".

However, I think it's better that a user ends up where the link shows
instead of them wondering why they put one thing in their URL and ended
up at a different one.
