Thoughts? If this is a big annoyance for you, you can cherry-pick the head of wip-2352-hack to build a ceph tool that doesn't require a config file if you specify -m in a similar fashion to what you suggest. Unfortunately actually doing what you suggest would break everything (you need to parse the config file before parsing command-line options so that the command-line ones win…although it's possible parsing them twice would work, actually…) and this hack isn't appropriate to put upstream so I need to spend some time working out a more general fix (hopefully, one that lets executables specify the arguments they need and then requiring the config file iff those aren't all set on the command-line). -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
