RHBA-2014:1258 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kernel packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.2 Long Life.
Description
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating
system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, recovery of a double-degraded RAID6 array could, under certain
circumstances, result in data corruption. This could happen because the md
driver was using an optimization that is safe to use only for single-degraded
arrays. This update ensures that this optimization is skipped during the
recovery of double-degraded RAID6 arrays. (BZ#1131409)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this bug. The system must be rebooted for this
update to take effect.
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
https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not use
"rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from your
system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after determining that
the new kernel functions properly on your system.
