GFS2: gfs2_edit should be moved from /sbin/ to /usr/sbin/
Last modified: 2016-04-26 09:38:08 EDT
Description of problem: Found during TPS tests, /sbin/gfs2_edit depends on a library in /usr. gfs2_edit should probably be moved to /usr/sbin. === SharedLibTest ===================== gfs2-utils-0.1.53-1.el5_3.2.i386: /sbin/gfs2_edit relies on libs in /usr: libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x006fc000) SharedLibTest: 11 regular binaries and 11 debug files were found. Checked 13 of these 22 ELF objects, and 1 error was found. Unless otherwise reported, any unchecked objects are part of debuginfo and may be ignored. TPSRESULT: SharedLibTest Returning: FAIL Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gfs2-utils-0.1.53-1.el5_3.2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. ldd /sbin/gfs2_edit | grep /usr Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I have no problem moving it to /usr/bin. My concern is what happens to people who currently have it located in /sbin? The Makefile should probably also make sure it gets deleted from /sbin.
I had a discussion with Chris Feist and Nate Straz and we decided it was a bad idea to move the binary mid-release. Therefore, I'm deferring this bug to RHEL6.
Spoke with Fabio, and it turns out that in F11, gfs2_edit does reside in /usr/sbin. So the issue here for RHEL6 is more that some of the others, such as fsck.gfs2, need to be moved to /sbin. Fabio is going to take care of that upstream, so this should be a non-issue for RHEL6. Closing it as NEXTRELEASE.
