volumes-from comma separated list

[mbn18]

The doc state:

Containers can be specified by a comma separated list or by repetitions of the --volumes-from argument.

This does not work for me:

--volumes-from vol1, vol2, voln

I also tried other variation like with/without space and etc

Its a stable CoreOS

[mbn18]

@cpuguy83
Check http://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/cli/#run

[cpuguy83]

@mbn18 Yep, looks like some bad docs.
Care to make a PR?

[mbn18]

@cpuguy83 PR to what? fixing the docs? add support for comm separated list?

[cpuguy83]

Fix the docs

[mbn18]

@cpuguy83, Will do that

From my test, Options with [] may be specified multiple times. it does mean docker can support comma separated list.
Example:
case 1, works:
docker run -it --rm --volumes-from TEST_DATA --volumes-from TEST_DATA2 ubuntu bash

case 2, failed:
docker run -it --rm --volumes-from TEST_DATA,TEST_DATA2 ubuntu bash
2014/08/20 15:40:35 Error response from daemon: Cannot start container e2f63ce5611c7a1be28389580d4a3847713078e6d5b61aac6cd532ec68b02191: Container TEST_DATA,TEST_DATA2 not found. Impossible to mount its volumes

[mbn18]

@xiaods I also tried ["volume1", "volume2"]
That faild

[xiaods]

@mbn18 you misunderstand the doc, current support this style:
docker run -it --rm --volumes-from TEST_DATA --volumes-from TEST_DATA2 ubuntu bash

[xiaods]

@mbn18 Options like -a=[] indicate they can be specified multiple times:
$ docker run -a stdin -a stdout -a stderr -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

[cpuguy83]

Closing since this was resolved.

Thanks @xiaods @mbn18
