RHBA-2011:0361 - cluster and gfs2-utils bug fix update

Synopsis

cluster and gfs2-utils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cluster and gfs2-utils packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The cluster packages contain the core clustering libraries for Red Hat High Availability as well as utilities to maintain GFS2 file systems for users of Red Hat Resilient Storage.

This update provides fixes for the following bug:

  • Due to an incorrect conversion of directory inodes with the height larger than 1, running the gfs2_convert utility on a file system with extremely large directories may have caused the file system to become corrupted. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to target this issue, and the gfs2_convert utility now works as expected. (BZ#643279)

All users of Red Hat High Availability and Red Hat Resilient Storage 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.

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
