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.
If _netdev is specified as a --fsoption option in kickstart, it should be included in the /etc/fstab but blivet removes the option if the drive is not a network drive
Description of problem:
When using a kickstart and specifying the --fsoption as _netdev, blivet will remove the option if the drive is not a network accessible drive.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7
RHEL 8
How reproducible:
Everytime
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using a kickstart, add --fsoptions="_netdev" to any part or logvol command
2. Build the system
3.
Actual results:
Unless this is a network drive, the option will be removed
Expected results:
The option should be in /etc/fstab since it was explicitly configured
Additional info:
blivet/storage.py
def _update_netdev_mount_option(self):
""" Fix mount options to include or exclude _netdev as appropriate. """
if not hasattr(self._format, "mountpoint"):
return
netdev_option = "_netdev"
option_list = self._format.options.split(",")
is_netdev = any(isinstance(a, NetworkStorageDevice)
for a in self.ancestors)
has_netdev_option = netdev_option in option_list
if not is_netdev and has_netdev_option:
option_list.remove(netdev_option)
self._format.options = ",".join(option_list)
elif is_netdev and not has_netdev_option:
option_list.append(netdev_option)
self._format.options = ",".join(option_list)
