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 checksum command contained a file descriptor that was not closed properly in an error path. If the checksum command resulted in an error, this would later prevent the file system from being unmounted with either umount or umount-all. The file descriptor is now closed properly on the error path, so an error in checksum no longer causes problems unmounting file systems.

Description Jinxin Zheng 2010-11-26 08:26:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
Specifying an unknown check sum type in the checksum API causes the umount/umount-all to fail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.6.2-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

$ guestfish -a test.img
...
><fs> checksum blabla /test 
libguestfs: error: checksum: unknown checksum type, expecting crc|md5|sha1|sha224|sha256|sha384|sha512

><fs> exit
libguestfs: error: umount_all: umount: /sysroot: umount: /sysroot: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))


Expected results:
no failure when exit or umount.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-01-04 14:20:00 UTC 
Fix included in the rebase.
Comment 3 Jinxin Zheng 2011-01-06 03:22:04 UTC 
Another reproducer:

$ guestfish -N fs:ext2 -m /dev/sda1 -- touch /test : checksum blabla /test

The umount error has gone away upon exit.
