RHBA-2011:0159 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
GFS-kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated GFS-kernel packages that fix module-loading issues are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8, kernel release 2.6.9-89.35.1.EL.
Description
The GFS-kernel packages contain modules that provide the ability to mount and
use GFS file systems.
These updated GFS-kernel packages provide a fix for the following bug:
- Prior to this update, modules in earlier GFS-kernel packages failed to load
because they did not match the running kernel. It is possible to force-load the
modules. However, with this update, force-loading of the modules is no longer
required. (BZ#668519)
Users of the 2.6.9-89.35.1.EL kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated
GFS-kernel packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
