The simple problem is that the code today does not distinguish between essential output (to stdout) and incidental output (to stdout). If I run 'pvs' I expect a list of PVs. If I run 'pvs --quiet' do I still expect to see that list? Today, there is no distinction: pvs output and the message you're wanting to suppress are the same category of message. The fix is to introduce a new macro alongside log_print so we can distinguish between the two cases, then have --quiet discard the incidental output and review every instance of log_print to see if it needs moving into the 'discard if quiet' category. Also provide an lvm.conf option to make --quiet the default for those who want that. etc. Alasdair _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
