A DiskSuite annoyance: metastat

In the traditional illustrated form:

; metastat fs5/d40
metastat: sandiego.cs: fs5: set name is inconsistent

Almost all DiskSuite commands that deal with disk sets will accept fsN/dN to specify the set and the disk at once, and metastat itselfproduces output in this form. But metastat refuses to accept it asinput; instead you have to use ' metastat -s fs5 d40 '.

四五六,越跳越木獨

o係我咳到就o黎肺都甩既情況下(冇錯!我既小兒百日咳又返o左o黎),依然繼續四五六去clubbing跳到天光。

難怪我既最佳玩伴W,都訝異於我既驚人耐力。
