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.

Fixed In Version: procps-ng-3.3.10-10.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
"vmstat -d" is now able to display devices with longer names When a disk statistics report is required, only the first 15 characters of the device name were previously read from the `/proc/diskstats` file. Consequently, devices with names longer than 15 characters were not shown in the output of the "vmstat -d" command. With this update, the formatting string has been changed to read up to 31 characters, and devices with longer names are now correctly displayed by "vmstat -d".

procps-ng-3.3.10-vmstat-devlen.patch

This is a blind forward-port of the procps-3.2.8-vmstat-devlen.patch from RHEL6. There's a small risk of breaking customer apps linked against the libprocps library, if they use disk_stat and partition_stat structures.
