Synopsis

ctdb bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated ctdb packages that fix multiple bugs and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ctdb packages provide a clustered database based on Samba's Trivial Database (TDB) used to store temporary data.

The ctdb packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.0.114, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#701944)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the ctdb daemon leaked a file descriptor to anon_inodefs. This update modifies ctdb so that this file discriptor can no longer leak. (BZ#728545)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

  • This update adds support for Clustered Samba on top of GFS2 as a Technology Preview. (BZ#672641)

All users of ctdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
