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.

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2008-10-30 15:08:48 UTC 
Mind that a new version will be pulled at feature freeze, not code freeze (maybe just a matter of nomenclature). Ping me when that version is available.
Comment 2 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-03-03 00:30:29 UTC 
libhugetlbfs 2.2 should be packaged in Fedora. The three RPMs are

libhugetlbfs
libhugetlbfs-devel
libhugetlbfs-utils

Please pull all three packages. Thanks
Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2009-03-18 10:15:32 UTC 
As version 2.2 is now in Fedora, this should get pulled for RHEL6.

Eric,

We need to keep this bug opened until we test it in rhel6 since this is a rhel6 feature.

------- Comment From lxie.com 2009-09-09 23:57 EDT-------
move to accept based on its external status (Modified)
Comment 5 John Jarvis 2009-10-15 14:59:57 UTC 
IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback
Comment 6 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2009-10-30 22:11:34 UTC 
Fixed in 'libhugetlbfs-2.6-2.el6', included in compose 'RHEL6.0-20091029.0'.
Moving to ON_QA.

These are also expected failures, they are testing the old relinking method.  These tests should only be used to determine is the old method works with a particular compiler/binutils combination.  As long as the new linker method worked (and it looks like it did) these errors can be ignored.
Comment 8 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-05-06 15:54:08 UTC 
------- Comment From ebmunson.com 2010-05-06 11:46 EDT-------
Verified with RHEL 6 Snap 1.  There is a small problem with the test suite that does not affect the library or any of the utilities.  I will open a separate bu with a patch to fix the issue but this should not stand in the way of the package update.
Comment 9 Radek Bíba 2010-05-27 08:48:04 UTC 
Thank you for the verification.
