Description Ben Woodard 2016-11-08 01:36:40 UTC
Created attachment 1218333 [details]
collection of upstream patches needed to better support ZFS

Description of problem:
Though we don't support it as a file system, LLNL uses ZFS and there are several upstream patches which are needed to properly identify it and report correctly when we come across ZFS partitions. 

All of these patches are upstream and together they fix the 7.3 util-linux to work with  LLNL's ZFS partitions.

All of the patches with one exception only touch the ZFS support so they should not affect other users. 102 is the one exception and it fixes a potential buffer overflow overflow in the core code. I submitted a separate bug for that because of this. However, I kept it in this patch set since it might make it easier to accept.

See BZ#1392656

Comment 2 Ben Woodard 2016-11-10 21:40:05 UTC
BTW I just noticed a minor typo in my text. What I meant to say is:

...it might make it easier to apply.

Comment 4 Karel Zak 2017-03-21 12:58:02 UTC
Note that the patch "libblkid: fix potential bufer overflows" has been applied to fix bug #1392656.
