[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#401118: xen-utils-common: xm(1) manual lists incorrect mode parameter options

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 3.0.3-0-2

I discovered this the hard way, trying to follow the instructions from
the manual page and failing to get it to work.  The xm(1) manual page
include this text:

  BLOCK DEVICES

       block-attach domain-id be-dev fe-dev mode [bedomain-id]
  [...]
           mode
               The access mode for the device from the guest domain.
               Supported modes are rw (read/write) or ro (read-only).

But 'rw' is not a valid mode.  The correct mode 'w' is listed down
below under "ATTACHING A SECURITY LABEL TO A RESOURCE".  I suggest
"Supported modes are rw (read/write) or ro (read-only)" is changed to
read "Supported modes are w (read/write) or ro (read-only)".  I do not
know if 'ro' is a working mode.  I failed to get it working, and found
no example on a better name to use.

Friendly,
