Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Tasks: TOP => bootdisk:generate:generic


Expected results:
Usable ISO should be generated
Comment 2 Jan Hutař 2014-09-02 09:35:21 UTC 
Sorry, expected result (due to fact we are on Sat6 without any repos synced) should be some reasonable error message. ISO can not be generated because we do not have the content.
Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2014-09-02 13:21:38 UTC 
I can confirm, this is because foreman-rake runs as "foreman" effective user. Unfortunately changing to /tmp does not help, it looks like it wants to create some kind of temporary file somewhere. We should respect the $PWD when copying the file.

Workaround:

[root@dell-pe2950-01 ~]# foreman-rake bootdisk:generate:generic OUTPUT=/tmp/my.iso
Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation
Total translation table size: 2048
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0
Total directory bytes: 0
Path table size(bytes): 10
Max brk space used 0
339 extents written (0 MB)
Wrote /tmp/my.iso
Comment 4 Mike McCune 2014-09-02 19:19:33 UTC 
WORKAROUND:

User should specify an output directory on where to write the ISO file where the foreman user has permission to write to. A good example of this is /tmp
