Fixed In Version: org.ovirt.engine-root-3.5.3-2
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the pki-pkcs12-extract.sh script relied on the existence of the /dev/fd directory. In Linux, this is normally symbolically linked to the /proc/self/fd directory, allowing processes to access its STDIN, STDOUT, etc as named files. If the /dev/fd directory did not exist, the script failed. An example scenario is trying to run engine-setup during installation from a kickstart file. With this update, the script was updated to use the /proc/self/fd directly. Now the script only requires that the /proc direcory is mounted, and does not fail if the /dev/fd directory does not exist.

Comment 1 Yedidyah Bar David 2015-04-20 13:13:24 UTC 
Note to QE - to reproduce/verify:

1. /bin/rm /dev/fd
2. engine-setup

If you already set up, (2.) can be replaced with:

/usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin/pki-pkcs12-extract.sh --name=engine --passin=mypass --cert=-

It seems to me that (1.) will only be fixed by next reboot, or by:

MAKEDEV fd

(Wow! Didn't know that MAKEDEV still exists, after so many years of devfs and udev)
Comment 2 Yedidyah Bar David 2015-04-21 13:17:05 UTC 
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/40089 is needed for the (unlikely) case that there is a file named '/-'.
Comment 3 Jiri Belka 2015-05-20 12:16:41 UTC 
ok, rhevm-backend-3.5.3-0.2.el6ev.noarch
