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.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the snmpd daemon strictly implemented RFC 2780. However, this specification no longer scales well with modern big storage devices with small allocation units, and consequently, snmpd reported a wrong value of the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize object when working with a large file system (larger than 16TB), because the accurate value would not fit into Integer32 as specified in the RFC. To address this issue, this update adds a new option to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf configuration file, realStorageUnits. By changing the value of this option to 0, users can now enable recalculating all values in hrStorageTable to ensure that the multiplication of hrStorageSize and hrStorageAllocationUnits always produces an accurate device size. On the other hand, the values of hrStorageAllocationUnits are artificial and do not represent the real size of the allocation unit on the storage device.
