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 resolve an issue 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 device-mapper-multipath packages fix the following bug:
- If a device's last path was deleted while the multipathd daemon was trying to
reload the device map, or if a ghost path failed, multipathd did not always
switch into the recovery mode. As a result, multipath devices could not recover
I/O operations in setups that were supposed to temporarily queue I/O if all
paths were down. This update resolves both of these issues; multipath now
correctly recovers I/O operations as configured. (BZ#683447)
All users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
