PM ACK for U2.
Status update from Nagahama-san: Currently Tachino-san is working on making prototype. 30% done. That is diskdumputils modification only.
I want to drop this feature for RHEL4U2 because this has low priority and I have other more important things which should be done. Please drop this from CanFix list.
Status update from Tachino-san indicates that this one won't be completed in time for RHEL4 U2. So I am taking it off the U2 canfix list and moving it over to the U3 proposed list.
I changed the component to diskdumputils because This feature does not require kernel change.
Feature applied in RHEL4 version diskdumputils-1.2.1-2.
Akira-san, can you please provide verification that diskdumputils-1.2.1-2, as referenced in RHEA-2006:066-03, addresses this bugzilla to your satisfaction and that your quality testing was successful?
Since we have done testing, we report the results here. 1. Result of the testing Overall result: PASS - Regressions: None - Unfixed bugs: None 2. Hardware that we used for the testing - i386 - ia64 - x86_64 - ppc64 3. Version of packages that we used for the testing - diskdumputils-1.2.8-2 4. Additional Comments Although there are slight bugs such as typo, we regard the testing as PASS because this functionality itself works correctly. We will fix the bugs in the next release timeframe.
Thanks for the testing results. Please make sure to open new bugzillas for the additional issues you want to address (if you haven't done so already) because this one will be closed as we go through the errata process.
