RHBA-2004:424 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated GFS packages
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated GFS packages that resolve issues related to loading of modules
which coincide with the latest errata kernel release (2.4.21-15.0.4.EL) are
now available.
Description
The Red Hat Global File System (GFS) provides high availability of critical
server applications in the event of planned or unplanned system downtime.
These updated GFS packages are now in sync with the latest kernel
(2.4.21-15.0.4.EL). Otherwise, the modules contained in the package would
fail to load as they do not match the running kernel. It is possible to
force load the modules, but this update was created to alleviate the user
from having to do so.
Also, the folowing bug in GFS has been discovered and addressed since the
previous release:
- Possible stack overflow on AMD64 architectures on GFS mount
Users are advised to update to these latest GFS packages, which are built
for the 2.4.21-15.0.4.EL kernel.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
