Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
virt-resize/virt-build/virt-sysprep/virt-customize fail to execute and return the error "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". It works well on ppc64be machine.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.35.ael7b.ppc64le
libguestfs-tools-c-1.28.1-1.35.ael7b.ppc64le
kernel-3.10.0-244.ael7b.ppc64le
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a ppc64le machine.
# virt-resize RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw test1.img -v -x
command line: virt-resize RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw test1.img -v -x
Examining RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw ...
libguestfs: trace: set_verbose true
libguestfs: trace: set_verbose = 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
2. On a ppc64le machine.
# virt-customize -a RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw --hostname rhel -x -v
[ 0.0] Examining the guest ...
libguestfs: trace: set_verbose true
libguestfs: trace: set_verbose = 0
libguestfs: trace: set_network true
libguestfs: trace: set_network = 0
libguestfs: trace: set_selinux false
libguestfs: trace: set_selinux = 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This appears to be the same root cause as bug 1224675, which
would mean this bug should depend on 1225995. However I
will wait until I have all acks on 1225995 and can rebuild
the OCaml compiler + libguestfs.

Verified with the packages:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.54.el7.ppc64le
libguestfs-tools-c-1.28.1-1.54.el7.ppc64le
Verify step:
1. On a ppc64le machine.
# virt-resize RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw test1.img -v -x
...
Resize operation completed with no errors. Before deleting the old disk,
carefully check that the resized disk boots and works correctly.
2. On a ppc64le machine.
# virt-customize -a RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw --hostname rhel -x -v
# guestfish -a RHEL-Server-6.7-64-hvm.raw -i cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=rhel
Commands work as expected. So verified.
