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.

-------------------------------------------------
And, in RHEL5 same result; maybe we need update man pages,
Comment 5 Steve Dickson 2016-03-10 13:40:20 UTC 
The man page is incorrect.... -P is an alias for -p
Comment 6 Yongcheng Yang 2016-05-17 05:33:36 UTC 
The needed upstream patch:

commit d0f9df9761d5fc63327fcaa0bc4515e739ca6f0e
Author: Yongcheng Yang <yongcheng.yang>
Date:   Wed Mar 16 12:15:32 2016 -0400

    mountd.man: Update to change -P option as an alias for -p
Comment 9 Yongcheng Yang 2016-10-31 09:23:17 UTC 
Moving to VERIFIED according to the test logs of Comment #8.

Also will include this automatic case as regression tests in the future.
