Description Kostas Georgiou 2009-01-01 12:31:42 UTC 
zz-disk_space runs df -hP which can hung forever if an nfs server is down. Since it's also doing a grep '^/dev/' it can be changed to df -hPl to only access local file systems

I'd like to ask upstream maintainers at first. So for now I'm waiting for their opinion.
Comment 2 Ivana Varekova 2009-01-06 07:26:31 UTC 
The problem is fixed in current rawhide version.
Comment 3 Kostas Georgiou 2009-01-06 15:40:56 UTC 
Is there enough time for this to end up in 4.8?

Too late for any RHEL-4 update. Closing this bugzilla WONTFIX, RHEL-4.9 is out and future async updates will contain only critical and security fixes. Problem is fixed in RHEL-5 and 6 - as the zz-disk_space script was heavily modified there.

You have reported the issue directly to bugzilla. Better way is to report RHEL bugzillas via support - as bugzilla is just bug tracking tool and not support tool. Updates of RHEL are driven by support requests - as there is always limited capacity for them. Reporting bugzilla via support increases chances of getting fix sooner.
