Synopsis

util-linux-ng bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated util-linux-ng packages that fix a bug in the mount utility are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The util-linux-ng package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function.

This update fixes the following bug:

• To address problems with iSCSI root devices not being checked with the fsck utility, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 introduced the "_rnetdev" mount option. However, this functionality was missing in the package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. With this update, the mount utility has been updated to support this option. (BZ#659612)

Users of util-linux-ng should 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.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
