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.

Description Valerie Aurora Henson 2009-08-26 19:44:30 UTC 
mkfs.xfs should align the file system according to the exported device topology info.

Good summary page:

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2009-08-26 20:16:40 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 3 Eric Sandeen 2009-08-27 06:42:49 UTC 
The plan is to export this info via libblkid as a standard interface, so this bug probably needs to depend on that feature (in util-linux-ng).

-Eric
Comment 4 Eric Sandeen 2009-10-08 16:27:52 UTC 
hch has sent patches to the xfs list for this.
Comment 5 chellwig@redhat.com 2009-10-10 21:56:29 UTC 
The patch is now upstream.

Eric, do you want to backport it for more test coverage?  I hope we can spin a new xfsprogs release end of November / early December with the topology support and the repair memory usage improvements.
Comment 6 Eric Sandeen 2009-10-10 22:46:09 UTC 
Thanks Christoph; I think we've likely missed the boat for F12 (we'd need updated blkid too, probably too much to sneak in now, though I can ask) and for RHEL5 the kernel bits are totally missing, so we'll probably just have to get it pushed into RHEL6 as soon as possible - after util-linux-ng gets an update ....

(we should ping sgi to pull to their tree too I suppose)
Comment 7 Eric Sandeen 2009-11-10 23:51:42 UTC 
1799792 build (dist-f13, /cvs/pkgs:rpms/xfsprogs/devel:xfsprogs-3_0_3-2_fc13) completed successfully

Built in rawhide, now.
Comment 8 Eric Sandeen 2009-12-01 22:50:42 UTC 
$ rpm -qp --changelog xfsprogs-3.0.3-3.el6.x86_64.rpm | more
* Fri Nov 20 2009 Eric Sandeen <sandeen> 3.0.3-3
- Fix up build issues w.r.t. off64_t

* Tue Nov 10 2009 Eric Sandeen <sandeen> 3.0.3-2
- Add trim/discard & libblkid support

the libblkid patch makes use of the topology info (which libdisk did before, anyway).
Comment 9 Eric Sandeen 2009-12-09 05:11:31 UTC 
Actually I only got this right in xfsprogs-3.0.3-5 :)

What's in RHEL6 -today- is still missing these bits, but it should get pulled to RHEL6.

--Eric
Comment 10 Eric Sandeen 2009-12-09 16:05:43 UTC 
Ok, RHEL6 bits should be good now.
Comment 13 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-11 15:02:05 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve

with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
