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 Dave Maley 2010-10-19 18:44:34 UTC 
Created attachment 454409 [details]
util-linux-ng-2.17-rnetdev.patch

Description of problem:
Start of kdump service fails in RHEL6 iSCSI boot environment.  The kdump
service starts successfully in RHEL5 when _rnetdev option is specified for
/boot in fstab.

The _rnetdev mount option was added in RHEL5.2 to address problems where the
iscsi root device never got fscked.  The _rnetdev support added to util-linux in
5.2 (bug 435722) is missing from util-linux-ng in RHEL6.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-ng-2.17.2-6.el6


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup system w/ iSCSI boot environment
2. configure kdump (if not auto-enabled)
3. reboot (if crashkernel memory not already reserved)

  
Actual results:
kdump service fails to start


Expected results:
kdump service starts successfully

Grr... the patch has never been added to Fedora or upstream. It was always RHEL specific.
Comment 4 Dave Maley 2010-10-20 15:45:10 UTC 
note: the support for _rnetdev in util-linux was added to 5.2 in order to fix fsck on iscsi root devs (bug 435722).  However the customer who reported it against RHEL6 noticed it because it broke kdump in their iscsi boot environment.  I've updated the summary to (hopefully) more accurately describe this bug report.
