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:
gfs_fsck is missing from release package.
When you run gfs2_convert,Step 2 tells you to run gfs_fsck.
gfs_fsck - file not found....
If you skip this step gfs2_convert fails to convert filesystem to GFS2
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.1.62
How reproducible:
In RHEL6 install cluster with all components.
add drives with GFS1 file system.
Try to run gfs_fsck.
It fails
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RHEL6 with all cluster components
2. gfs_fsck
3. not found ....
Actual results:
gfs_fsck not found.
Expected results:
gfs_fsck checks volume and correct it.
Additional info:
Happy April 1st!
But I hope it is easy to fix and include in updated package.
In fact, the entire gfs-utils package is not shipped with
RHEL6. This was done by design because GFS1 is deprecated
for the release. I think the user documentation states
that gfs_fsck should be run before the system is upgraded
to RHEL6 or something to that effect.
For situations like this, we already have bug #675723 which,
when done, will allow you to run fsck.gfs2 on your gfs1
file system. This is preferred anyway, since fsck.gfs2 is
faster, more robust and more accurate than gfs_fsck.
Unfortunately, the code is not yet finished.
My prototype is nearly complete but still needs some work,
and after that, a complete testing cycle. (If you want, I
can provide a preliminary version that you can help me test),
but it won't be available for a couple weeks. With that
fix, we will change the notice on the gfs2_convert tool to
run fsck.gfs2, not gfs_fsck, before converting.
Hi Oleg,
Here is a prototype you can try:
http://people.redhat.com/rpeterso/Experimental/RHEL6.x/fsck.gfs2
Please remember that this prototype has not undergone the
Red Hat quality assurance process, so it should be treated
as experimental. We are not responsible for problems that
may result from using this code. It still needs a lot more
testing, and that is planned.
I have, however, run it on a customer's metadata set and
it seemed to work properly. Let me know how it goes.
