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.

Fixed In Version: rear-2.6-1.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.ReaR has been updated to version 2.6 Relax-and-Recover (ReaR) has been updated to version 2.6. Notable bug fixes and enhancements include: * Added support for `eMMC` devices. * By default, all kernel modules are included in the rescue system. To include specific modules, set the `MODULES` array variable in the configuration file as: `MODULES=( mod1 mod2 )` * On the AMD and Intel 64-bit architectures and on IBM Power Systems, Little Endian, a new configuration variable `GRUB2_INSTALL_DEVICES` is introduced to control the location of the bootloader installation. See the description in `/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf` for more details. * Improved backup of multipath devices. * Files under `/media`, `/run`, `/mnt`, `/tmp` are automatically excluded from backups as these directories are known to contain removable media or temporary files. See the description of the AUTOEXCLUDE_PATH variable in `/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf`. * `CLONE_ALL_USERS_GROUPS=true` is now the default. See the description in `/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf` for more details.

Description Pavel Cahyna 2021-07-30 16:31:35 UTC 
ReaR should be rebased to 2.6, otherwise the amount of patching to support S/390 (bz1868421) will be too extensive. Rebase will also partly solve bz1983003.

List of changes: http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/release-notes-2-6 and http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/release-notes-2-5, we have many of them as backports though.
