RHBA-2012:0112 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gnbd-kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gnbd-kernel packages that fix one bug are now available as part of the
ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Global File System on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
The gnbd-kernel packages contain modules that allow the Global Network Block
Device (GNBD) to communicate with the kernel.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, gnbd-kernel modules could fail to load if they were not
force-loaded because they did not match the running kernel. With this update,
all modules match the running kernel. Now, force-loading the modules is no
longer required. (BZ#787818)
Users of the 2.6.9-103.EL kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
