From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: The NFS config GUI allows a user to enter a value for the "host(s)" field such as "hostname1, hostname2" and save. However the config GUI will fail to load from then on issuing the attached error. The only way I could find to fix the error was to manually edit the /etc/exports file and remove "hostname1, hostname2" from the file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-nfs-1.0.13-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Type two hostnames in the host(s) field seperated by a comma and a space. 2. Fill in the rest of the required fields and click OK 3.Type "redhat-config-nfs" on the command line Actual Results: attached error was issued Expected Results: Either A. The config utility should not have allowed the save with the improperly formatted field OR B. The config utility should have been able to read the field it had saved. Additional info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/redhat-config-nfs.py", line 41, in ? mainWindow.mainWindow() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/mainWindow.py", line 126, in __init__ self.exports = nfsBackend.NfsBackend() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 31, in __init__ self.parseFile() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 89, in parseFile self.parseOptions(nfsDataObject, host) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 93, in parseOptions hostname, options = string.split(data, "(") ValueError: unpack list of wrong size
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Red Hat does not currently plan to provide this change in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux update release for currently deployed products. With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical defects. However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
