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 Lubos Kocman 2010-12-20 16:24:11 UTC 
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 Program Management 2011-01-07 15:53:28 UTC 
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 09:49:13 UTC 
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.
