Misc. Documentation Updates

Open libbyhopfauf opened this issue 7 years ago • 7 comments

Here are a couple of items that need to be updated in the documentation. Thanks!

1.) Make the reference to the tape name/number/id/serial consistent across all documentation.

2.) In the "Writing to LTO" section, the command should be updated (you are not prompted to do anything when just running "writelto"): writelto -t ${tapeserial} /Volumes/${sourcedirectory}

+1

Once you have updated the «regular» documentation, if you wish, I volunteer for updating the man as well (and the -h, supposing they are not included in the «regular» ;-)

@libbyhopfauf Has this been resolved in https://github.com/amiaopensource/ltopers/pull/173?

I think @libbyhopfauf was also referencing the other associated info (such as the man page) so I think this is only partially resolved so far

I haven’t noticed incongruencies in the man page when I updated it… yet I am not English speaker/writer.

Ugh! My apologies - I had forgotten about https://github.com/amiaopensource/ltopers/pull/177 also altering the man page!

In that case - it seems that the only part of this issue is updating the writelto instructions in the README.

It wasn't mentioned in the original issue, but the notes about rsync seem out of date as well since gcp is now used for the original transfer of files.

I was going to make a new issue about this but I see that @libbyhopfauf beat me to it. I've only looked over a colleagues shoulder who is using ltopers, but it looked like -t is mandatory but it's not reflected in the docs. So I guess

2.) In the "Writing to LTO" section, the command should be updated (you are not prompted to do anything when just running "writelto"): writelto -t ${tapeserial} /Volumes/${sourcedirectory}

is still a valid issue?

Edit: Actually -t and the source directory are both mandatory?

Yes, I think so.
