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 Robert P. J. Day 2013-12-16 09:05:54 UTC 
* Section 5.1:

"Even with out shared storage ..." -> "Even without"

"with the command --copy-storage-all", that's not a command, that's an option

* Section 5.3:

"synch parameter", shouldn't that be "sync"?

"herin" -> "herein"

"# yum install nfs", I don't think there's any such package as "nfs".

* Section 5.4.2:

Some of the listed options are incorrect -- eg., "--tunneled" is spelled "--tunnelled" on the man page; "the man page lists "migrateuri", not "--migrateuri"; there is no mention of the "--abort-on-error" option listed on the man page, and so on. Best to just verify the entire list, and cross-check it against the man page.

That's all I noticed for Chapter 5.
Comment 1 Robert P. J. Day 2013-12-16 12:01:02 UTC 
Additional observations about Chapter 6, same manual.

* Procedure 6.1 suggests "yum install certtool". I don't believe there is any such package, I think you want to "yum install gnutls-utils" to get the "certtool" utility, no?

Actually, I think that's it for Chapter 6.
Comment 2 Robert P. J. Day 2013-12-16 20:55:14 UTC 
Notes on Chapter 7 while I'm here:

* At least one example of misspelling: "overcommiting".

* "enought"

* Also, at least two instances of suggesting that the host system needs "a maximum of 4GB" of memory. Surely that should say "minimum", no?
Comment 3 Robert P. J. Day 2013-12-16 22:06:40 UTC 
Notes on Chapter 8, KSM:

* "a guest virtual machine virtual machine", kind of redundant

* "only inherits" should really be "inherits only" but that's picky

* it's not clear from the intro, does KSM allow sharing just between guests, or does it support sharing between host and guests as well?

* Note refers to /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_nodes, should that not be
  merge_across_nodes?

* Some weird quoting on the line for bullet point "thres" -- that word ends
with a backquote, and there are more backquotes on the rest of the line. Should those not be regular single quotes, given that backquotes mean something *quite* different normally?

* Oh, and on the bullet point line above that for "npages", there's a reference to "ksmd", but I see no earlier explanation that this is the kernel thread for ksm (if that's what it is). That reference to "ksmd" just seems to come out of nowhere.
