RHBA-2012:0524 - cmirror bug fix update

Synopsis

cmirror bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cmirror packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The cmirror package provides user-level tools for managing cluster mirroring. Cmirror is needed for LVM-based mirroring (RAID1) in a cluster environment.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when successively activating and deactivating cluster mirrors, cmirror could fail to initialize the mirrors properly. Consequently, any I/O operations to the device and further LVM commands became unresponsive. With this update, cmirror has been modified to fix this bug; however, the problem can still occur after a large number of iterations. (BZ#809642)

All users of cmirror are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
