Bug -

In the Repair tools,

the progress bar does not reset back to zero when the next disk drive is checked.

Feature -

I'm running "manual" mirroring with two identical disk drives and using rsync to perform the mirroring.

So, why, every time, I have to run a check on my backup (mirror) system ?

In the Repair tools,

have an option to pick and only check the live system.

(Yes, I know I could be running RAID 0, however, my way comes in handy when you are doing some maintenance you are sure about - you can always rsync back)

Thanks, Duaine

Hi Duaine

it's fairly easy to report a bug yourself. Just glance through

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports

and then go through the wizard in: https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE%2011.3&format=guided

Have fun, Vadym

I probably won't know all the answers to the tracking questions.

If there are follow up questions then who will answer those? We aren't familiar with the issue -- you are. Ideally there are no duplicate bug reports and all bug reports are perfectly documented, but that is not going to happen. So its better to have some incomplete, not detailed and duplicate bug reports, than none at all due to an irrational fear of "not being able to answer a question" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not many can actually create ideal bug report, which is the one that describes a problem and offers a patch :) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is not much in your email that can help creating one. https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided Here is what someone that want to file bug report for you has to know: Classification (Product Line): openSUSE drop down menu Product: openSUSE <version> drop down menu ** as you can see very simple answer that we don't know ** Below that is a panel that will list some bugs, followed by search box. That part is to allow you to search for existing bugs. Not mandatory. It is there just to remind reporter that searching for existing reports can save the time to him/her and the bug report triagers that are trying to find duplicates. Below search it starts again. Product * selection list * already filled in from your second answer Component * drop down box * part of openSUSE that has a problem if not sure set to Other. * it can be corrected later by anyone Hardware Platform * drop down box * mostly x86 or x86_64 * it can be corrected later by anyone Operating System * drop down box * the same as Product * it can be corrected later by anyone Summary * one line input box * what is the problem as short as possible * it can be corrected later by anyone Note: For instance it can be "Repair tools: The progress bar does not reset back to zero when the next disk drive is checked." Details * input box * what is the problem in detail * corrections are possible only with new comment Note: It is good to repeat Summary as a first sentence of Details. Summary can be changed, but Details can't, so it will be documented what was original bug report about. Reproducibility * drop down box * how often it happens Steps to Reproduce * input box * what to do to see the bug Note: It is listed 3 steps as example. Reporter can reduce or add number of steps. Actual Results * input box * what reporter see Expected Results * input box * what is expected to happen Note: You don't have to fill in last 2 if from description is clear what is expected and what user see. Attachment: * Button * lead to a new page where reporter can upload files Additional Information * input box * if there is anything more to say Note: I never use that one :) Note: All parts from Details to Additional Information will be concatenated in one report field called Description, like in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629400 And, finally :) Repair tools is not listed as Component. They are dropped from 11.3 as there is no one that can take care of them. They are part of CD/DVD that will have no respin for older versions for sure there will be no update for 11.2 and 11.1. So the (potential) bug report will end as WONTFIX or INVALID. Second item in your list is feature, so it should go to: http://features.opensuse.org -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

But I don't not want to force things. I just want to do my part, and that others do theirs. Instead, they blamed me.

AJ will not force solution that is beneficial for you, so you don't force anything.

All he will do is to force proper bug handling and civil tone in the messages that will not kill reporters will to continue reporting bugs.

That sounds reasonable, thanks. However... Perhaps I did not explain my self too well. By "forcing" I meant that reporting a bug to him, feels like forcing it. I should be able to report by using standard channels, and not having to appeal to someone in higher authority. To me it looks like if I abuse of him. I don't want special treatment. I want normal and fair treatment. I don't want to have to fight bureaucracy, either. I want to simply report a bug normally. Perhaps have a defined escalation procedure defined in the bugzilla system, a mediator, which is different from knowing the name of someone higher up. I don't know if I explained myself well now :-? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
