Description Praveen Arimbrathodiyil 2009-11-26 19:32:08 UTC

Description of problem:

Ref https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541618#c5

"We also have a command 'vfs-type' which is *supposed* to return
something like 'ufs'.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for
these UFS partitions, which is possibly a bug in Fedora libblkid. 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):"


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Refer bug 541618
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

vfs-type command does not recognize ufs partitions

Expected results:

recognize ufs partitions

Additional info:
libblkid is not listed in components, so this is the closest.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-11-26 19:47:05 UTC

The particular command we are running is:

 /sbin/blkid -o value -s TYPE /dev/sda1

where /dev/sda1 is the ufs partition.  There's no error message,
it just returns an error code:

 # /sbin/blkid -o value -s TYPE /dev/sda1
 # echo $?
 2

  RETURN CODE
       If the specified token was found, or if any tags were shown from (spec-
       ified) devices, 0 is returned.  If the specified token was  not  found,
       or  no  (specified)  devices  could be identified, an exit code of 2 is
       returned.  For usage or other errors, an exit code of 4 is returned.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-11-26 19:47:55 UTC

Component was wrong - should be util-linux-ng
according to:

$ rpm -qf /sbin/blkid 
util-linux-ng-2.16-10.2.fc12.x86_64

Comment 3 Karel Zak 2009-11-26 23:06:42 UTC

The problem was unpacked UFS superblock in libblkid, fixed in upstream repository:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=e7fee5520542fcfc6375e4ec1ffc1601971c937c

I'm going to fix it in F-12 ASAP. Thanks for your bug report!

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-11-26 23:23:12 UTC

Excellent, thanks for fixing it so quickly!

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-11-27 09:49:00 UTC
