Description:
Not sure if this is docs or dev issue.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_flush_log_at_t...

Range	0 .. 27000

Yet

2013-04-07 03:33:09 15069 [Warning] option 'innodb-flush-log-at-timeout': unsigned value 27000 adjusted to 2700

How to repeat:
--innodb-flush-log-at-timeout=27000

Suggested fix:
* Fix docs or dev fix allowed option value range
* Would also be great if warnings in the error log would list the underscore named option: "innodb_flush_log_at_timeout", otherwise users always have to s/-/_/ when searching the manual.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.

A look into the source shows that the value is 2700. I'll correct the docs.
