Subject: [PATCH] xfs_repair: fix exit code documentation in manpage
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 07:35:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <62881d1e-8980-00c6-1d04-642a49b3b252@redhat.com> (raw)
xfs_repair cannot proceed with a dirty log, and exits with
a status code of 2 in that case; fix the manpage to
reflect this.
(This has been the case for years, but was never documented).
