gnbd-kmod bug fix update

Advisory:	RHBA-2007:0478-2
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2007-06-14
Last updated on:	2007-06-14
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
2.6.18-8.1.6.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
(2.6.18-8.1.6.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 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 kernel.
