Synopsis
device-mapper-multipath bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that fix a bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath devices
by giving the "dm-multipath" kernel module instructions on what to do, as well
as by managing the creation and removal of partitions for Device-Mapper devices.
These updated packages provide a fix for the following bug:
- when multipathd occassionally received spurious remove uevents from the
kernel, multipathd incorrectly removed the multipath device. Since remove
uevents are only supposed to be generated after a device has been already
removed, multipath no longer removes a multipath device when it receives a
remove uevent. Instead, it simply cleans up its internal state if the device
has been removed. (BZ#624772)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated device-mapper-multipath packages,
which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
