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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0525 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE udev bug fix and enhancement update 2011-05-19 09:37:42 UTC

Description Mike Burns 2010-10-19 13:17:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running udevadm info --query=env, I get a list of values back that are not quoted.  For most, this isn't a problem, but something like DEVLINKS, which is a space separated list, it doesn't get set correctly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev-147-2.29.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. udevadm info --query=env --name=sda
2. Results in DEVLINKS=<space separated list with no quotes)
3.
  
Actual results:
# eval $(udevadm info --query=env --name=sda)
bash: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001: Permission denied

Note:
DEVLINKS=/dev/block/8:0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:01.1-scsi-0:0:0:0

Expected results:
No Error


Additional info:

This is being used in RHEV-H in an eval call like above.  We are working around it by manually inserting quotes with a sed script
Comment 1 Mike Burns 2010-10-19 13:18:17 UTC 
This was also reproduced upstream in udev-153-4.fc13.x86_64
Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2010-12-09 14:31:01 UTC 
I added a new query type "shproperty" alias "shenv":

$ udevadm info --query=shproperty --name=/dev/sda
UDEV_LOG='3'
DEVPATH='/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda'
...
UDISKS_ATA_SMART_IS_AVAILABLE='1'
DEVLINKS='/dev/block/8:0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-APPLE_SSD_TS128B_60CS105MT4RZ /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_APPLE_SSD_TS128_60CS105MT4RZ /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0'

$ eval $(udevadm info --query=shenv --name=/dev/sda)
$ echo $DEVLINKS
/dev/block/8:0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-APPLE_SSD_TS128B_60CS105MT4RZ /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_APPLE_SSD_TS128_60CS105MT4RZ /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0

Changed the parameter to be in sync with upstream. It is now:
--query=property --export

$ udevadm info --query=property --export --name=/dev/sda
