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.

list-harddrives crash output

Description of problem:
The "list-harddrives" utility crashes on CDROM drive discovery with DiskLabelException "unrecognized disk label".

This is a popular command to use in kickstart %pre and %post scripts to provide an easy to use method of getting information about all of the disks connected to the system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6 Beta 1

How reproducible:
Run list-harddrives command inside command shell or in %pre/%post scripts during kickstart/anaconda environment.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run list-harddrives command
2. command crashes on cdrom
3.
  
Actual results:
Crash.


Expected results:
A properly formatted list of hard drives on system and their sizes.

Additional info:

Attached are screenshots(was using VMWare Console so have no copy/paste) of the output from list-harddrives crash, as well as the example output from running parted against the device as well which is apparently what output is being parsed by the list-harddrives python code that causes the problem.
