If you define a "bug" to include flawed logic or reasoning then yes -
this is a bug. It demonstrates a level of shallow thought usually
associated with toys and simple games where there are a small, finite
number of outcomes.
If you define a "bug" along the line of Adm. Grace Hopper's reference -
as something that causes destruction, then no, this is not a bug and is
a simple "feature".

Subject: [ADSM-L] "Feature" or "bug"?
Doing some server/node cleanup, I noticed an interesting "anomaly"
caused
by a server-to-server export. I consider it a "bug". Curios on your
opinions.
This node was exported to a different server. The node contains Oracle
filesystems named /u01, /u02, /u03 and /u04
I went to delete the target server copy and found not only the above
file
systems, but also /u05-/u08
I know that when doing server-to-server exports, if you don't say "
mergefilespaces" and an duplicate filesystem exists, the import process
automagically adds a "1", "2" and so forth to the name of the duplicate
imported filesystems. I know this is what happened since I also found a
"
/1" (root) and "/boot1" (boot) filesystem on the target server.
It was confusing to see the /u05-/u08 until I saw the object
counts/sizes
were identical for /u04 and /u08.
IMHO, I look at this as a bug. I would have expected a /u011, /u021,
/u031 and /u041 for the duplicates, not taking the last digit and
incrementing it.
