RHBA-2008:0656 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
initscripts bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated initscripts package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot your
Red Hat system, change runlevels, and shut the system down cleanly.
Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and de-activate most
network interfaces.
This updated initscripts package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- recursively-mounted NFS mounts now correctly unmount in the proper order,
which resolves an issue in which attempting to unmount nested NFS-mounted
partitions would result in an "Unmounting NFS filesystems: umount:
/mnt/<mount_point>: not found" error message.
- the "genhostid" command now correctly generates 32-bit host IDs
regardless of whether the host IDs are being generated on a 32- or 64-bit
system.
- the rc.sysinit script contained a race condition in which, on occasion,
the system would hang at boot while waiting for a key press.
All users of initscripts are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves 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
