Message-Id: <1283955128-6517-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 16:12:08 +0200 From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> To: tytso@....edu Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: Improve error message when device name misspelled When a device name is misspelled, we output the full text about specifying alternate superblock. This is slightly misleading because when the device cannot be open because of ENOENT, this certainly won't help. So just print that device does not exist and exit.
