dlm-kernel bug-fix update

Updated dlm-kernel packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.8, kernel release 2.6.9-89.0.16.EL.

The dlm-kernel modules allow the Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) to
communicate with the kernel.

A bug that resulted in lvm hangs during during connect() calls to clvmd has
been fixed by modifying the lock granting logic.

As well, these updated dlm-kernel packages are in sync with the latest
kernel (2.6.9-89.0.16.EL). The modules in earlier dlm-kernel packages fail
to load because they do not match the running kernel. It is possible to
force-load the modules; however, with this update, force-loading the
modules is not required.

Users are advised to upgrade to these latest dlm-kernel packages, which are
updated for use with the 2.6.9-89.0.16.EL kernel.

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.
