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 Eryu Guan 2013-10-08 11:00:51 UTC

Description of problem:
man 8 btrfs has several problems about "filesystem label" description
1. - the maximum allowable length shall be less or equal than 256 chars
Actually the maximum allowable length should be less than 256 chars, not equal

2. - the label shall not  contain the '/' or '\' characters.
'/' and '\' are all valid chars in label

3. - the filesystem should not have more than one device.
This is not true anymore, label works correctly on multi-device btrfs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
btrfs-progs-0.20.rc1.20130917git194aa4a-1.el7
upstream btrfs-progs too
