Synopsis
cmirror bug-fix update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated cmirror packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The cmirror packages provide user-level utilities for managing cluster
mirroring.
This update applies the following bug fixes:
- Copy percentage of corelog mirror no longer hangs due to stale checkpoint
data.
- A segfault in clogd was fixed; the segfault was caused by mirrors being
suspended too quickly after being started.
- The large number of dm-log-clustered timeouts generated by a pvmove no
longer causes a cluster deadlock.
- Remnants of a moved device no longer remain in a volume group.
- Device-mapper userspace logs now have a local unique identifier to
prevent issues when two logs have the same UUID.
Users of cmirror are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
