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.

Section Number and Name: 
1.3.1

Describe the issue: 
"RDMA over Ethernet (RoCCE) implements..."


Suggestions for improvement: 
Should  be "RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)"


Additional information: 

There are a bunch of other minor updates needed, such as:


Section 1.3.3, Page 19
"...infrastructure via a single converged network card (CNA). Standard..."

Should be:  converged network adapter (CNA)

Section 2.1. 64-bit Support
"...support up to 8TB of physical memory."

Link below shows 64TB maximum.

Not sure where the best place to suggest the others are. It's an *excellent* guide overall, but there's some information that needs to be updated.

Thanks for this; I'll see if I can get these in for RHEL 6.5.

Looks like we can fit this in, as translation hasn't started yet. Adding flags.

A few others:

P71

“Enterprise Linux 5. Ext4 is now the default file system for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and is supported for a maximum file system size of 16 TB and a single file maximum size of 16TB.”

These values appear to be incorrect. The maximum filesystem size for EXT4 I believe is in the exabyte range.


I can submit a new report for these individual items, but there are quite a few similar ones throughout the guide.

Closing these bugs as CURRENTRELEASE, as all are now available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 GA.

Closing CURRENTRELEASE since this is now available in RHEL 6.5 GA.
