Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated xfsprogs packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The xfsprogs packages contain a set of commands to use the XFS file system,
including the mkfs.xfs command to construct an XFS file system.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Due to a bug in the underlying source code, an attempt to use the xfs_io
"pwrite" command to write to a block device residing on an XFS file system
failed with the following error:
XFS_IOC_FSGEOMETRY: Inappropriate ioctl for device.
This update applies a patch to fix this bug and the command no longer fails in
the described scenario. (BZ#1018751)
- Previously, the thread local data were used incorrectly. As a consequence,
when the xfs_repair utility was executed with the ag_stride option, the utility
could terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. The underlying source
code has been modified to fix this bug and xfs_repair no longer crashes in the
described situation. (BZ#1020438)
- Under certain conditions, the xfs_fsr utility failed to reorganize files with
SELinux attributes. With this update, a patch has been provided to address this
bug and xfs_fsr can successfully defragment files with SELinux attributes.
(BZ#1024702)
- When the sector size of the source file system was larger than 512 bytes, the
xfs_copy utility could create a corrupted copy of that system. In addition, the
utility exited with a non-zero return code in all cases, even if the operation
was successful. This update applies a patch to fix these bugs and the utility
now works as expected. (BZ#1100107, BZ#1104956)
Users of xfsprogs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
