RHBA-2012:1155 - initscripts bug fix update

Synopsis

initscripts bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated initscripts packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The initscripts package contains system scripts to boot your system, change runlevels, activate and deactivate most network interfaces, and shut the system down cleanly.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the kpartx utility was not called with the "-p p" option in the netfs init script. Consequently, inconsistent partition mappings occurred. This bug has been fixed and kpartx is now called as expected. (BZ#845246)

All users 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.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
