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 Todd 2015-08-30 22:18:06 UTC 
Dear Red Hat,

I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 7.1

Please forgive me if this is as intended and not a bug.

This is what (one of) my xfsdump run strings looks like:

# /usr/sbin/xfsdump -M 1 -l 0 -f /lin-bak/2015-08-29_homeXfsDump.gz  /home

This is the Manual:

       -M label [ -M label ... ]
            Specifies  a  label  for the first media object (for example, tape
            cartridge) written on the  corresponding  destination  during  the
            session.   It  can  be  any  arbitrary string up to 255 characters
            long.  Multiple media object labels can be specified, one for each
            destination.

Problem: I still get prompted for a label, even though I have already given xfsdump a label on the command line: -M 1

Being prompted makes me thing something is wrong.  And it slows the process down waiting to time out.

Thank you for your consideration,
-T

You're being asked:

 ============================= dump label dialog ==============================

please enter label for this dump session (timeout in 300 sec)
 ->

You are specifying the media label but not the session label; from xfsdump(8):

       -L session_label
            Specifies a label for the dump session.  It can be  any  arbitrary
            string up to 255 characters long.
