Signed-off-by: Eric Blake Reviewed-by: John Ferlan --- I ran into this doc bug when trying to figure out why a disk storage pool that I had copied from another machine wouldn't autostart; it turns out that the old disk used BIOS partitioning (dos), and the new one uses UEFI (gpt). I wonder if it would be nicer if a disk pool without a default partition type supplied by the user could auto-detect the right format, rather than defaulting to dos, but that's a bigger question that I won't be tackling, and wouldn't have necessarily helped me (if the element was already present when I copied the file). docs/storage.html.in | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/storage.html.in b/docs/storage.html.in index e9e6ec7423..6ec623831c 100644 --- a/docs/storage.html.in +++ b/docs/storage.html.in @@ -310,7 +310,7 @@ on the size and placement of volumes.
