[Bug 379532] New: md man page includes incorrect acronym definition
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379532 Summary: md man page includes incorrect acronym definition Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: plowe@novell.com QAContact: ke@novell.com Found By: --- The md(4) man page states: --8<-- DESCRIPTION The md driver provides virtual devices that are created from one or more independent underlying devices. This array of devices often contains redundancy, and hence the acronym RAID which stands for a Redundant Array of Independent Devices. md supports RAID levels 1 (mirroring), ... --8<-- RAID actually stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive _Disks_. The sentence above might've been referring to another acronym, except the man page goes on to refer to RAID 1, etc. I doubt this is specific to *SUSE products, but there is no author information included in the man page, so am reporting it here. I am expecting WONTFIX for this. :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Silly issue IMHO :).
