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 Kendrick Gay 2012-06-14 16:24:19 UTC 
Created attachment 591869 [details]
parted patch to get and set UUID

Description of problem:

Regression involving parted with prevents 'dmsetup info -c' from including UUID for partitioned multipath devices.

In _dm_add_partition(), parted is setting the device name, but doesn't set the UUID.  This leaves the partition's UUID blank.  Other utilities (in particular, kpartx) set the UUID on creation of the partition's device node, so a kpartx -d/-a cycle results in the expected UUID.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.1-17.el6.x86_64 

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable multipathing
2. Create partition on mpath device with parted
3. Run 'dmsetup info -c' and review UUID column
  
Actual results:

No UUID printed under UUID column for partitioned mpath devices

Expected results:

UUID should be printed for all relevant devices.

Attaching customer-provided patch to case.
Comment 2 Brian Lane 2012-06-14 16:57:08 UTC 
This isn't a regression, parted 2.1 has always had this problem. The fix has been in Fedora since F14 so is well tested and low impact.

When can we expect an official patch
