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 of problem:
Should /etc/init.d/netfs mount GFS2 filesystems when there is a /etc/init.d/gfs2 separate init script?
netfs has a line:
action $"Mounting other filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,cifs,ncpfs,gfs
If so, what is GFS2's init script really for?
gfs != gfs2 and since this is rhel6, gfs doesn't even exist. The gfs2 init script does mount the gfs2 filesystems, however this is not really correct. We have a bug open which is bug #435906 which is requesting a change to allow these mounts to work correctly.
This is currently blocked on upstream work. I've not heard anything recently about progress.
gfs may not equal gfs2 but the /etc/init.d/netfs tried to mount GFS2 filesystems even though it says "gfs" in the mount line!
Until upstream work is complete and given plain gfs is gone, should it not just have this removed from netfs?

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
It's still trying to mount gfs2 filesystems in /etc/init.d/netfs as far as I can see (not sure if fixed in 6.1). I thought we'd decided it shouldn't be and this needs to be fixed (the gfs2 startup script does this).

Patch to fix the netfs script for gfs2
I think this is all that needs doing... this will ensure that gfs2 is not mounted as part of "all the other filesystems" from netfs and thus will be left for the gfs2 script to mount/umount.
