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 of problem:
viostor.sys file version isn't updated between builds. (stays 5.0.1.1)
This might prevent the RHEV-Block installer from updating that sys file.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-1.1.16-1.el6.noarch
Specifically,
The file version of viostor.sys files taken from virtio-win package for RHEL 6 is the same as the latest version released in virtio-win for RHEL 5 (5.0.1.1)
Generally,
- Every build the file version (in addition to the version specified in the inf
file) should be promoted.
- Part of the acceptance tests should include upgrade tests (upgrade from last
released driver)
Can reproduce in virtio-win-1.1.16-1.el6.noarch.
Copy the viostor.sys file to any directory, right-click it and then select "Properties" -> Select "Details" tab -> Check "File version" item.
The file version is 5.0.1.1 in virtio-win-1.1.16-1.el6.noarch and the previous version (for example virtio-win-1.1.16-0, and rhel5 virtio-win driver.)
