Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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:

SNMP Reports tmpfs as hrStorageFixedDisk when performing SNMP checks.


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

Doesn't appear to be release specific, running latest. 

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install net-snmp
2. Perform walk looking for 'hrStorageType' and 'hrStorageDescr'
3. Compare "real" disks with tmpfs disks. 
4. Realise that most seem to report as 'hrStorageFixedDisk'

Actual results:

tmpfs drives report as hrStorageFixedDisk

Expected results:

I suspect that the actual result should be as follows:

   hrStorageRamDisk OBJECT-IDENTITY
       STATUS current
       DESCRIPTION
           "The storage type identifier used for a file system that
           is stored in RAM."
       ::= { hrStorageTypes 8 }

A potential workaround solution is to utilise something like this: 

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1173933

But it's very much a workaround, rather than a fix.

Move to RHEL-7.8

Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7 is entering the Manteining phase 1 of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.

Closing as WONTFIX.
