RHBA-2008:0449 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
util-linux bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated util-linux package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The util-linux package contains a collection of basic system utilities,
such as fdisk and login.
In the previous util-linux package, when a system with iSCSI devices
experienced network problems, causing I/O errors, and the system was
restarted, "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" did not force a fsck check on the iSCSI
devices, as it would for other locally attached disks.
In this updated package, a new mount option, "_rnetdev", has been added.
The "_rnetdev" option is similar to "_netdev", except that a "fsck -a"
check is run on iSCSI devices during rc.sysinit. This fsck check is
required for iSCSI root devices.
Users of util-linux are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
