RHBA-2011:1397 - nfs-utils bug fix update
Synopsis
nfs-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated nfs-utils package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools, which provides better performance than the traditional Linux NFS server used by most users. This package also contains the mount.nfs, umount.nfs, and showmount programs.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the function responsible for parsing the /proc/mounts file was not able to handle single quote characters in the path name of a mount points entries. As a consequence, an NFS exported file system could not be unmounted if its mount point contained space characters. To fix this problem, the parsing routine has been rewritten so that it now parses entries in the /proc/mounts file properly. All NFS file systems now can be unmounted as expected. (BZ#731309)
All users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
