RHBA-2012:1016 - e2fsprogs bug fix update

Synopsis

e2fsprogs bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated e2fsprogs packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

[Updated 13 August 2012] This advisory has been updated with the correct product name (that is, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5) in the Details section. The package included in this revised update has not been changed in any way from the package included in the original advisory.

Description

The e2fsprogs packages provide a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in the ext2 file system.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the status of the uuidd daemon was not correct when shown by the service tool, because the stored PID was not the PID of the running uuidd daemon. This was due to the incorrect PID that was written by the uuidd daemon upon startup. With this update, this bug has been fixed so that the returned status of the uuidd daemon is now correct. (BZ#824051)

All users of e2fsprogs 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.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
