RHBA-2018:1408 - vdo bug fix update
Synopsis
vdo bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated vdo packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The vdo packages provide Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO), which is a block virtualization technology that enables you to create compressed and deduplicated pools of block storage.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When a user created a new Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) volume with the --indexSparse=enabled option, a dense index was created on the volume instead of sparse. Consequently, space savings on the volume were smaller than expected. With this update, the VDO management software now correctly creates a sparse index with the --indexSparse=enabled option. (BZ#1572496)
Users of vdo are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
