Description of problem:

SNMP Reports tmpfs as hrStorageFixedDisk when performing SNMP checks.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Doesn't appear to be release specific, running latest. 

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install net-snmp
2. Perform walk looking for 'hrStorageType' and 'hrStorageDescr'
3. Compare "real" disks with tmpfs disks. 
4. Realise that most seem to report as 'hrStorageFixedDisk'

Actual results:

tmpfs drives report as hrStorageFixedDisk

Expected results:

I suspect that the actual result should be as follows:

   hrStorageRamDisk OBJECT-IDENTITY
       STATUS current
       DESCRIPTION
           "The storage type identifier used for a file system that
           is stored in RAM."
       ::= { hrStorageTypes 8 }

A potential workaround solution is to utilise something like this: 

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1173933

But it's very much a workaround, rather than a fix.

Move to RHEL-7.8

Comment 4 Josef Ridky 2019-12-10 14:23:56 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7 is entering the Manteining phase 1 of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.

Closing as WONTFIX.
