Subject: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v3] docs: replace concrete device paths with pseudo paths
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 09:56:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230711075651.16375-1-p.hufnagl@proxmox.com> (raw)

Having commonly used device paths (like /dev/sdb) in an example command
may cause damage if the user simply copies them without checking. With a
pseudo device path (like /dev/sdX), they would simply get an error
