Topic

Description
The GFS packages provide the user-space tools for mounting, creating
and, using GFS file systems.
The updated GFS packages apply the following bug fix:
- When attempting to grow a filesystem with a 1k block size, performance was
very slow; this issue has been fixed.
All GFS users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this bug.
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.
