Description

The documentation describes config:prop* commands as having a -b option to bypass storage.
But actually this -b option only has affect when combined with -p option, otherwise it is the -b option to the config:update command that determines if changes are persisted to disk.

As example:

karaf@root> cat etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg|grep foo
karaf@root> config:edit org.ops4j.pax.logging
karaf@root> config:propappend -b log4j.logger.foo.bar DEBUG
karaf@root> config:update
karaf@root> cat etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg|grep foo
log4j.logger.foo.bar = DEBUG
