Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

From Peter Rajnoha:

Hi,

regarding this page:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/lvmconf_file.html

Thing here is that the lvm.conf file is changing a lot from release to release - we're adding new items quite often. So maybe it would be good to mention that there's "lvmconfig --type default --withcomments" command that can generate whole lvm.conf with all default values set and with comments added (actually, we do this in upstream to generate the lvm.conf that is packaged then).

We already mentioned lvmconfig command here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/lvm_dumpconfig.html

But I think it would be good for users to have lvmconfig also mentioned in the sample lvm.conf page for reference and to emphasize that for them to generate complete sample lvm.conf with default values on output (which they can redirect to a file), the can call the lvmconfig --type default --withcomments.

The same applies for RHEL6 doc. Would add the note there please?

Peter:

Is the note I added here to Section B.4 enough, or should I say more about this command?

Yes, I think we don't need to say more about this command - it's just for users to know that such command is here (they can look more details in the man page then).

(Sorry, the needinfo got out of my radar somehow...)

Now on the Portal:
