RHEA-2011:0146 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
kexec-tools enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated kexec-tools package that adds one enhancement is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
kexec-tools provides the /sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new kernel to
boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. This
package contains the /sbin/kexec binary and ancillary utilities that together
form the userspace component of the kernel's kexec feature.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 now fully supports the ext4 filesystem, but kdump
fails to dump the vmcore on ext4 filesystems. This update adds support to the
ext4 filesystem so that users can dump the vmcore to an ext4 filesystem.
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated kexec-tools package, which adds
this enhancement. (BZ#667966)
Solution
Inlude fsck.ext4 binary into kdump initrd, and check ext4 filesystem during
init.
