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.

Fixed In Version: libguestfs-1.7.17-4.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The guestfish vfs-type command could not determine the type of a file system newly created by guestfish. This occurred because the vfs-type command tried to read the type from a cache file (blkid.c) that had not yet been updated. The cache file is now deleted between file system creation and attempting to read the file system type, resulting in updated file system information for vfs-type to read

QA verified this bug with libguestfs-1.7.17-12.el6.x86_64 and guestfish-1.7.17-12.el6.x86_64:

# guestfish
><fs> alloc test.img 1000M
><fs> add test.img
><fs> run
><fs> mkfs ext2 /dev/vda
><fs> vfs-type /dev/vda
ext2
><fs> mkfs vfat /dev/vda
><fs> vfs-type /dev/vda
vfat


So change this bug to VERIFIED.
