Synopsis
New mount package allows mount-by-label for OCFS filesystems.
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
An updated mount package is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced
Server 2.1 which allows Oracle Clustered Filesystem (OCFS) partitions to be
mounted by referring to their volume label.
[Updated 06 Feb 2003]
Added fixed packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1
[Updated 13 Aug 2003]
Added losetup packages that were accidentally left out of this erratum.
Description
This updated mount package includes an enhancement to the mount command
which allows Oracle Clustered Filesystem (OCFS) partitions to be mounted
using their label name rather than by referring to the specific device
name. This can be useful when the device name changes due to disk
reordering, removal, or addition. No other new functionality is introduced.
If you do not use OCFS partitions, you may safely disregard this errata.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
