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.

Openshift people are looking for availability of thin_ls on rhel. This is
useful to figure out COW layer usage of container. Update device-mapper-persistent-data package to latest for 7.3.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Comment 1 Vivek Goyal 2016-03-07 19:20:33 UTC 
Here is upstream discussion looking for thin_ls.

https://github.com/google/cadvisor/issues/959#issuecomment-191326562
Comment 2 Andy Goldstein 2016-03-07 19:26:52 UTC 
This is needed for both Kubernetes and OpenShift. thin_ls gives us the ability to determine the amount of storage that a container has used in its COW layer.
Comment 4 Seth Jennings 2016-03-07 20:36:52 UTC 
Currently thin_ls does not operate on live metadata

$ ./thin_ls -o DEV,EXCLUSIVE /dev/mapper/fedora-docker--pool_tmeta
syscall 'open' failed: Device or resource busy
Note: you cannot run this tool with these options on live metadata.

This a problem for the cadvisor use case.  Strangely, it seems to work when docker is using the loop thin dm rather than a real device.

Still looking into this.
Comment 5 Seth Jennings 2016-03-07 20:48:45 UTC 
In order for thin_ls to work on a live thin device a snapshot must be taken

dmsetup message /dev/mapper/fedora-docker--pool 0 "reserve_metadata_snap"

Then thin_ls will work.  After thin_ls is run, the snapshot needs to be released

dmsetup message /dev/mapper/fedora-docker--pool 0 "release_metadata_snap"
