2016-06-02 15:56:08 Dimitri John Ledkov description During installation, either through the menu or in an ssh session , dasdfmt fails with a buffer overflow error and does not format the dasd volume. The volume is a z/VM minidisk - defined as 1 to end, this is common in this environment. The DASD volume was formatted from z/VM as a minidisk volume. These are the same steps taken for other distributions running under z/VM. I've attached some screen shots. [Impact] * In certain hardware configurations, dasdfmt fails to format a drive, thus preventing successful installation and/or initialisation of a new disk. "there is a bug in the parsing of /proc/dasd/devices which is being triggered only if an FBA device is listed prior to the ECKD device in question. And since you've had FBA devices attached to your system during the installation, you ran into that bug." [Test Case] * On a system with FBA and ECKD devices, perform dasdfmt [Regression Potential] * Minimal. Bug fix cherrypick from upstream.
