Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 127886
Regex characters in devlabel uuids break things
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:02 EST
Hitachi's 9980 enterprise storage arrays use the string "HITACHIOPEN-V*10" as part of the scsi vendor id stuff. As a result, devlabel breaks when trying to use it on Hitachi 9980s, because the version of devlabel included in RHEL3 is outdated and doesn't include the fix for this issue: Steps to Reproduce: [root@marcelo2 redhat]# devlabel printid -d /dev/sda S83.1:4849544143484920523435304139373330303141HITACHIOPEN-V*10 [root@marcelo2 redhat]# devlabel printid -d /dev/sda5 S83.1:4849544143484920523435304139373330303141HITACHIOPEN-V*10sector126-400018499 [root@marcelo2 redhat]# devlabel add -d /dev/sda5 -s /dev/hds_lun0_p5 Failure. The device you are trying to add to devlabel does not show up in /proc/partitions. [root@marcelo2 redhat]# grep sda5 /proc/partitions 8 5 200009187 sda5 56 288 688 30 0 0 0 0 0 30 30 This is the exact same bug as Bug# 113107, which was filed against Fedora. I only opened a new bug because this is RHEL not Fedora, and it's 6 months down the road since that bug was last commented on (Gary fixed devlabel itself, but RHEL is still using an outdated version which doesn't have the fix), feel free to mark this as a dupe or change that bug's product to RHEL, or whatever way is "correct" way to handle that.
Hmm.. there was version update in RHEL3-U4 (see errata RHBA-2004:514) and this problem has been fixed by upstream. It seems someone forgot close this report in bugzilla. 3.0E 0.41.01-1 3.0E-U1 0.42.05-2.1 3.0E-U4 0.48.03-6 3.0E-U5 0.48.03-10 It should be fixed in the current release. Closing...
