RHBA-2013:0902 - gfs2-utils bug fix update
Synopsis
gfs2-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gfs2-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gfs2-utils package provides the user-space utilities necessary to mount, create, maintain and test GFS2 file systems.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the gfs2_convert tool, which converts file systems from GFS to GFS2, did not properly convert files and directories with certain metadata characteristics. This caused errors to be reported when fsck.gfs2 was run after the conversion. This update fixes the gfs2_convert tool so that it properly handles those file and directory metadata characteristics. As a result, no errors should be reported when fsck.gfs2 is run after the conversion. (BZ#956030)
Users of gfs2-utils 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.
