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.

commit e79a9395b382e831c125d000d2bf16ba4b6253d4

    tests: add more tests for off-line resizing
    
    Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso>

added several resize tets, most of which fail on ppc and/or s390.

For now the tests are commented out in the RHEL7 e2fsprogs-1.42.8 build because they are apparently not regressions - just to get it building.  But these are real flaws that need to be fixed soon.

Hi Eric,

from my testing on ppc64 e2fsprogs-1.42.8 directly from upstream works without any problems. Upstream version from git works as well. RHEL7 version obviously works as well. None of the tests included in that commit failed in my testing.

Unfortunately I was not able to test this on s390 yet.

Thanks!

I do not really know where is a problem but I could not reproduce this on s390 either. What do you think Eric ?

Hm the rpm build does still fail for me:

http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=6372374

there are only 2 small patches on the specfile, I don't think (?) either should matter.
