RHBA-2011:1287 - device-mapper-multipath bug fix update

Synopsis

device-mapper-multipath bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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 deleting a multipath device while checking a path, the multipathd daemon did not abort the path check. As a consequence, the daemon terminated when trying to access multipath device information. The problem has been fixed and the multipathd daemon now aborts the path check when deleting a multipath device. (BZ#732384)

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 that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
