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.

3.
Actual results:
Below configure doesn't work on RHEL6.8, but it works on RHEL7.2
part raid.01 --grow
part /boot --asprimary --fstype="ext4" --recommended
After change as below, it works on RHEL6.8

│ Partition requires a size specification
The --recommended option has never been meaningful for anything other than swap devices. The reason you don't get an error in RHEL-7 is that there is a default size of 500 MiB for new partitions there. This is not the case in RHEL-6, which is extremely unlikely to change.

Thanks David.
How about below:
RHEL7 works with "part raid.01 --grow"
RHEL6.8 doesn't work with it, but works with below
part raid.01 --size=1 --grow
Are we planning to change them same with RHEL7?
