qa_ack+. Seems now it only work with the images which has the content of "not_complete" in $ISO/.disk/cd_type file. Future feature to support more distributions. This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. No upstream fix for this. Likely we'll change the upstream code to use libosinfo for CD/installer detection, and that will happen in time for RHEL 7. Setting RHEL 6.5 flags just in case we rebase. Upstream I have started to integrate libosinfo database information: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/90e7981082a2685b235724a6dd9b737cb90fe553 However the current libosinfo database does not contain information about whether a disk is a network install disk, meaning that this bug is not directly fixed yet. In any case it's a RHEL 7 issue. After a quick glance, it seems there's no way to detect RHEL/CentOS or Ubuntu netinst CDs just by looking at their file contents (unlike Debian CDs which have that information in /.disk/cd_type). Maybe RHEL installation disk images could start getting a similar file indicating their type...

It's likely to be possible using the ISO volume information. The libosinfo project has been collecting this info in their database, and libguestfs is *supposed* to be able to use it. See: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/src/osinfo.c (This might not be working, I've not tried it in a while and it's another reason why we could do with having regression tests for real inspection) I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX because: (a) Not reported or affecting any customers (b) Other tools (libosinfo) give the same or better information (c) Has been around for years without attracting enough interest to fix |
