Description Randy Zagar 2010-11-30 14:10:49 UTC
Description of problem:
The standard Unix tape management utility, mt, is *not* included in EL6 Workstation or EL6 Client

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Affected releases are 6Client U0 and 6Workstation U0

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. losetup `losetup -f` rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso
2. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
3. find /mnt -name mt-st\*
  
Actual results:
""

Expected results:
"/mnt/Packages/mt-st-1.1-4.el6.x86_64.rpm"

Additional info:
It is a mistake to assume that only sys-admins performing backups need tape management tools.  Engineers and analysts also need to load and create data tapes.

Please stop micromanaging the placement of historic Unix utilities.

Sorry, I meant to use this in Step #1

losetup `losetup -f` rhel-workstation-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2010-11-30 14:44:40 UTC
mt-st is included in the Optional channel for both Workstation and Client.

Comment 4 Randy Zagar 2010-11-30 15:07:53 UTC
That helps, but not when installing air-gapped systems.
