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 Ken Olum 2014-10-31 15:09:46 UTC

"man statfs" in both RHEL 6.4 and 6.6 gives an out-of-date
description of the statfs structure.  It claims that it ends with
f_namelen, but the structure in /usr/include/bits/statfs.h has more fields.

Comment 2 Jan Chaloupka 2014-10-31 20:18:56 UTC

Hi Ken,

statfs.2 from rawhide can be taken. There is just one issue. The last field in statfs struct ends with:

    __SWORD_TYPE f_flags;
    __SWORD_TYPE f_spare[4];
  };

f_spare[4], here four. But in man page, there is f_spare[5] (here five). This could be just a typo in man page. I will ask upstream about that.

Comment 4 Jan Chaloupka 2015-02-09 08:45:38 UTC

Partially solved in thread [1]. However, statfs.2 is still being discussed.
