RHBA-2010:0598 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gfs-kmod bug-fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gfs-kmod packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gfs-kmod packages contain modules that provide the ability to mount and
use GFS file systems.
These updated packages resolve the following issue:
- when SELinux was in permissive mode, a race condition during file creation was
able to cause one or more cluster nodes to be fenced and lock the remaining
nodes out of the GFS file system. This race condition no longer occurs with this
update. (BZ#471258)
All gfs-kmod users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
