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 one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Extended Update Support.
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.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When a device path came online after another device path failed, the
multipathd daemon failed to remove the restored path correctly. Consequently,
multipathd sometimes terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault on a
multipath device with the path_grouping_policy option set to "group_by_prio".
With this update, multipathd removes and restores such paths as expected, thus
fixing this bug. (BZ#721245)
All users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
