Description Lubos Kocman 2010-12-20 11:24:11 EST

Description of problem:

file ../ic60/RHEV-toolsSetup_2.3_130.iso 
../ic60/RHEV-toolsSetup_2.3_130.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'RHEV-tools                     '

#---------------------------------------------------------------

[lkocman@dhcp-28-248 ISO]$ file a.txt
a.txt: cannot open `a.txt' (No such file or directory)

^ This one also looks quiet weird with that back-stick ^
#---------------------------------------------------------------


[lkocman@dhcp-28-248 ISO]$ file Fedora-14-i386-DVD.iso 
Fedora-14-i386-DVD.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Fedora 14 i386 DVD             ' (bootable)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

file-5.04-5.el6.x86_64

Actual results:

'RHEV-tools                     '
'Fedora 14 i386 DVD             ' (bootable)


Expected results:

'RHEV-tools'
'Fedora 14 i386 DVD' (bootable)

Additional info:

Shouldn't be somehow checked length of the string except of setting some FIXED_LENGTH?

Comment 2 RHEL Product and Program Management 2011-01-07 10:53:28 EST

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 4 Jan Kaluža 2011-01-26 04:49:13 EST

It's not easy fix. ISO 9660 has fixed length of VOLUME_ID field (32 bytes) ended with zero (so to be precise the length of volume id is always 31 bytes, where the last N bytes are usually white spaces). Currently File magic patterns can't somehow remove trailing white-space characters, so we would have to add new option for it.

I'm still not sure if it's bug or feature. I've submitted patch to upstream developer and asked what does he think about it. If he accepts it, I will use it in RHEL too, otherwise I will close this one as NOTABUG probably.
