Description of problem: sysreport collects device nodes if present from $DNSDIR/dev and /proc/scsi/qla2300 as a consequence of collecting the /proc/scsi and $DNSDIR/ recursively. This is a problem because it means you need to be root to unpack the sysreport. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sysreport-1.3.7.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run sysreport on a system with qla2300 or a bind chroot set up 2. Try to unpack the sysreport as an unprivileged user 3. Actual results: tar fails trying to create device nodes Expected results: sysreports should be collected such that they can be unpacked by non-root users Additional info:
Created attachment 115097 [details] don't include any block or char device nodes in the sysreport
This feature is now included in sysreport-1.4.2-3 from, which will be added in next comming RHEL5 release. In my opinion it's not worth to add it in RHEL3 update.
