Bug Fix Advisory gnbd-kmod bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2007:0371-2
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2007-05-16
Last updated on: 2007-05-17
Affected Products: RHEL Cluster-Storage (v. 5 server)
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated gnbd-kmod packages that fix module loading issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, kernel release
2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.

The gnbd-kmod package contains modules that allow the gnbd (GFS Network
Block Device) to communicate with the kernel.

These updated gnbd-kmod packages are in sync with the latest kernel
(2.6.18-8.1.4.el5). The modules in earlier gnbd-kmod packages failed to
load because they did not match the running kernel. It was possible to
force load the modules. With this update, however, users no longer need to.

Users are advised to upgrade to these latest gnbd-kmod packages, which
are updated for use with the 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5 kernel.
