Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Seems xfsprogs-3.1.1-6.el6 also has this problem. Clone for rhel6

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #714934 +++

Description of problem:
xfstests 253 will never complete, from the test description:
This test was created to verify fixes for problems where metadump
would never complete due to an inability to find a suitable
obfuscated name to use.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | grep xfsprogs
xfsprogs-2.10.2-7.el5
xfsprogs-devel-2.10.2-7.el5

kernel-2.6.18-268.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install xfstests
2. check 253
3.
  
Actual results:
Test will never complete

Expected results:
Test pass

Additional info:
I think this should be the xfsprogs component, if a kernel fix is needed, please correct me.

--- Additional comment from esandeen on 2011-06-21 11:07:05 EDT ---

xfsprogs is the correct component, there are upstream metadump fixes which we don't have in rhel5 and this test exercises them explicitly.

Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

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.

This is an expected failure which is fixed upstream, we will need the series starting at

56281ed43abe95e96e45d2287fd0b965b7d4d2b8 xfsprogs: metadump: some names aren't all that special

as a backport, to fix it.

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
