RHBA-2013:0240 - kernel bug fix update

Synopsis

kernel bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated kernel packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following bug:

• On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, mounting an NFS export from a Windows 2012 server failed due to the fact that the Windows server contains support for the minor version 1 (v4.1) of the NFS version 4 protocol only, along with support for versions 2 and 3. The lack of the minor version 0 (v4.0) support caused Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 clients to fail instead of rolling back to version 3 as expected. This update fixes this bug and mounting an NFS export works as expected. (BZ#891859)

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

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
