RHBA-2017:1613 - dracut bug fix update

Synopsis

dracut bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Updated dracut packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The dracut packages contain an event-driven initial RAM file system (initramfs) generator infrastructure based on the udev device manager. The virtual file system, initramfs, is loaded together with the kernel at boot time and initializes the system, so it can read and boot from the root partition.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, when the team interface was configured and kdump was configured to dump the vmcore over a network, ifup was called recursively. Consequently, kdump generates an Out of Memory (OOM) state and the vmcore is not dumped. With this update, kdump dumps the vmcore over the network even when the team interface is configured.

Users of dracut 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.
