RHBA-2007:0275 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
parted bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated parted packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The GNU Parted program allows you to create, destroy, resize, move,
and copy hard disk partitions. Parted can be used for creating space
for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
to new hard disks.
Bugs fixed in these updated packages include:
- Creating additional partitions on a GPT-labeled disk while other
partitions on the disk are in use will corrupt the first partition and
result in data loss.
- Parted crashes when trying to rewrite a GPT label to account for a LUN
resize.
- Running partprobe(8) removes extended partitions from /proc/partitions.
- The partprobe(8) command locks up the system when scanning a disk array
containing a mix of DOS, Sun, and GPT labeled disks.
Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
