Comment 1 Milos Malik 2010-04-19 09:19:26 UTC
Reproducable with blktrace-1.0.1-3.1.el6 on machine with RHEL6.0-20100417.n.0.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 15:09:54 UTC
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Sending blktrace bugs over to Edward, as he did the upstream work for them.

Comment 14 Suzanne Logcher 2011-03-28 19:25:25 UTC
Unfortunately this issue could not be fixed in RHEL 6.1.
It has been moved to RHEL 6.2.

Comment 15 Ric Wheeler 2011-06-09 15:53:11 UTC
Edward, Eric, did blktrace get into the approved component list for 6.2?

If so, let's fix this or move it back to 6.3.

Thanks!

Comment 16 Edward Shishkin 2011-06-09 16:32:03 UTC
This is not a critical issue, and an additional
patch should be sent to upstream, so I guess, to 6.3

Hi Red Hat,

Any update on this bug ? Will this be considered in 6.2 cycle ?

Thanks
Vasant

Comment 26 Edward Shishkin 2011-10-04 13:09:01 UTC
Closed as upstream doesn't consider this as a bug:
they prefer to have undocumented option "-k" as a
"rough edge" for their internal needs (not to kill
running trace):
http://marc.info/?l=linux-btrace&m=131245973528087&w=2

Since this option in not documented, users are not
supposed to use it.

Edward.
