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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2423 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libguestfs-winsupport bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 11:22:03 UTC

Description Hu Zhang 2015-05-14 12:00:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
For now, libguestfs-winsupport have not been built for aarch64. We need this to support ntfs filesystem and Windows iamges.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.23.aa7a.aarch64
libguestfs-tools-c-1.28.1-1.23.aa7a.aarch64
kernel-3.19.0-0.75.aa7a.aarch64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# guestfish -a Win2008r2-64-hvm.raw
><fs> run
><fs> inspect-os
><fs> list-filesystems
/dev/sda1: ntfs
><fs> mount /dev/sda1 /
libguestfs: error: mount: /dev/sda1 on / (options: ''): mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'                                                              

Actual results:
Described as step.1. For now, libguestfs fails to support ntfs filesystem and Windows iamges.

Expected results:
Build libguestfs-winsupport for aarch64.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-05-15 16:44:33 UTC 
I added aarch64 to the ExclusiveArch, built it locally on RHELSA,
and installed it.  It seems to work fine:

guestfish --ro -a /mnt/scratch/winxp.img -i

Welcome to guestfish, the guest filesystem shell for
editing virtual machine filesystems and disk images.

Type: 'help' for help on commands
      'man' to read the manual
      'quit' to quit the shell

Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
/dev/sda1 mounted on /

Therefore I will push this change to dist-git.

I cannot create an erratum for this.  The ticket is:

Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-06-30 17:42:51 UTC 
Set back to ASSIGNED because the build won't build on aarch64.
Comment 12 Hu Zhang 2015-09-16 05:39:01 UTC 
verified with the package:
libguestfs-winsupport-7.2-1.el7.aarch64
