RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2018-08-23 19:59:03 UTC

Description of problem:

We are almost certainly going to need to rebase nbdkit in RHEL 7.7
so this is a placeholder bug for that task.

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

We could either rebase along the 1.2 stable branch.  This would
be the safe, conservative choice as the stable branch contains
only bug fixes.

Or we could rebase to a new stable version, eg. 1.4.x, 1.6.x.

At this point we don't know, it will likely depend on the
requested bugs and features.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-08-23 20:00:37 UTC

Adding V2V flag because this would affect virt-v2v.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-01-28 13:47:07 UTC

Pino, do we have room to rebase this again (to 1.10.2)?

Comment 5 Pino Toscano 2019-01-28 13:58:59 UTC

Steps:

Scenario1:check nbdkit packages on brewweb and rhel7.7 repository

1.1 Check nbdkit packages for rhel7 on brewweb, found below packages:
nbdkit-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm (info) (download)
nbdkit-basic-plugins-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm (info) (download)

nbdkit-debuginfo-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm (info) (download) 

1.2 Check ndbkit packages in rhel7.7 repository
1.2.1 Check in Server/x86_64/repository
# pwd
/media/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.7-20190619.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os

# ls Packages |grep nbdkit
nbdkit-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm                     
nbdkit-plugin-python-common-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
nbdkit-plugin-python2-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm      
nbdkit-plugin-vddk-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 

1.2.2.Check in Server-optional/x86_64/ repository
# pwd
/media/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.7-20190619.0/compose/Server-optional/x86_64/os

# ls Packages |grep nbdkit
nbdkit-basic-plugins-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm     
nbdkit-devel-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm               
nbdkit-example-plugins-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 

1.2.2 Check in Server/x86_64/debug/ repository
nbdkit-debuginfo-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm       



Scenario2:test nbdkit by virt-v2v
2.1 Convert a guest from VMware via vddk library to rhv's data domain directly by virt-v2v, conversion could be finished without error and checkpoints of guest are passed after conversion

Scenario3:check nbdkit help info and man page

3.1 Check nbdkit help info
# nbdkit --help

       [-e|--exportname EXPORTNAME] [--exit-with-parent]
       [--filter FILTER ...] [-f|--foreground]

Please read the nbdkit(1) manual page for full usage.

3.2 Check nbdkit man page and page can be opened normally 
# man nbdkit



Result:
    nbdkit packages work well with virt-v2v, so move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
