[lvm-devel] Fwd: [linux-lvm] LVM2.2.02.103/tools/lvchange.c:779: bad if test ?

[Brassow Jonathan]

yup.  We could just get rid of the checks for t, y, and n.  The important one is the check for ':'.

Basically, we are asking if the user has supplied a mode (i.e. ':{n|y|t}).  If not, then the meaning is the same as ':y' which we then append.

Later code checks if the last character is a proper y, n, or t; and errors if it is not.

The reason this logic hasn't caused any problems is because we only care about the ':' anyway - the rest is useless.
