Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Release Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2
Abstract
The Release Notes provide high-level coverage of the improvements and additions that have been implemented in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2. For detailed documentation on all changes to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for the 5.2 update, refer to the Technical Notes.
1. Release Notes Updates
This section contains information about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 that did not make it into the Release Notes included in the distribution.
1.1. All Architectures
- Thin Provisioning (also known as "virtual provisioning") will be first released with EMC Symmetrix DMX3 and DMX4. Please refer to the EMC Support Matrix and Symmetrix Enginuity code release notes for further details.
dom0
has a system-wide IRQ (interrupt request line) limit of 256, which is consumed as follows:- 3 per physical CPU.
- 1 per guest device (i.e. NIC or block device)
When the IRQ limit is reached, the system will crash. As such, check your IRQ consumption to make sure that the number of guests you create (and their respective block devices) do not exhaust the IRQ limit.To determine how many IRQs you are currently consuming, run the commandgrep Dynamic-irq /proc/interrupts | wc -l
.- In
/etc/multipath.conf
, settingmax_fds
tounlimited
will prevent themultipathd
daemon from starting up properly. As such, you should use a sufficiently high value instead for this setting. - When provisioning guests during installation, the RHN tools for guests option will not be available. When this occurs, the system will require an additional entitlement, separate from the entitlement used by
dom0
.To prevent the consumption of additional entitlements for guests, install therhn-virtualization-common
package manually before attempting to register the system to Red Hat Network. virt-manager
should not be left running continuously, as its memory use will grow over time. This could cause memory starvation.As such, you should only usevirt-manager
when needed. When extended use is required, it is advisable to periodically exit and restartvirt-manager
.- Network driver
r8169
updated to add support for the following devices:- RTL8169sb/8110sb
- RTL8169sc/8110sc
- RTL8168b/8111b
- RTL8101e
- RTL8100e
- The crash utility cannot be used to analyze
kdump
-generatedx86_64
vmcores using thexen-syms-[release]
binary of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 kernel. To read these types of vmcores, use the commandcrash --xen_phys_start [address] /boot/xen-syms-[version] vmcore
instead.To determine the value of[address]
, run the commandcat /proc/iomem | grep Hypervisor
. Something similar to the following output should appear:3ee00000-3fdfffff : Hypervisor code and data
The[address]
is the first number in the stated range; in this case, it is 3ee00000. - When installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on a guest, the guest is configured to explicitly use a temporary installation kernel provided by
dom0
. Once installation finishes, it can then use its own bootloader. However, this can only be achieved by forcing the guest's first reboot to be a shutdown.As such, when the Reboot button appears at the end of the guest installation, clicking it shuts down the guest, but does not reboot it. This is an expected behavior.Note that when you boot the guest after this it will then use its own bootloader. - Running
rpmbuild
on thecompiz
source RPM will fail if any KDE orqt
development packages (for example,qt-devel
) are installed. This is caused by a bug in thecompiz
configuration script.To work around this, remove any KDE orqt
development packages before attempting to build thecompiz
package from its source RPM. - If your system has either ATI Radeon R500 or R600 graphics card equipped,
firstboot
will not run after installation. The system will go directly to the graphical login screen and skipfirstboot
altogether. If you attempt to runfirstboot
manually (i.e. from a failsafe terminal), the X session will crash.This issue is caused by the driver used by the ATI Radeon R500/R600 hardware. The default driver used by these graphics cards are still in technology preview. To work around this, backup your/etc/X11/xorg.conf
file; then, configure X to use the supportedvesa
driver instead using the following command:system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa
You can now runfirstboot
. To switch back to your old settings, restore your original/etc/X11/xorg.conf
. nfsroot
is fully supported in this update. This allows users to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 with its root file system (/
) mounted via NFS.nfsroot
was originally introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as a subset of the Technology Preview feature Stateless Linux. The full implementation of Stateless Linux remains a Technology Preview.At present,nfsroot
has the following restrictions:- Writable directories that hold system files (for example,
/tmp
,/var
, and/etc
) must be replicated for each client and mounted independently with no sharing between clients. To do so, perform the following steps:- Configure the client's root file system to boot in read-only mode. To do so, set
READONLY
toyes
in/etc/sysconfig/readonly-root
. - Run
cat /etc/rwtab
to view a default list of directories and files mounted by each client in the format[type] [path]
.[type]
can be eitherempty
(an empty path),dirs
(a directory tree that is copied, but is empty), orfiles
(a file or directory tree copied intact). - If any other files or directories need to writable but are not in
/etc/rwtab
, list them in the same format (i.e.[type] [path]
) in a file under/etc/rwtab.d/
. You may use any filename for this file.
- SWAP is not supported over NFS.
- SELinux cannot be enabled on
nfsroot
clients. In general, Red Hat does not recommend disabling SELinux. As such, customers must carefully consider the security implications of this action.
- Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on a system with multiple network interfaces and manually specified IPv6 addresses may result in a partially incorrect networking setup. When this occurs, your IPv6 settings will not be visible on the installed system.To work around this, set
NETWORKING_IPV6
toyes
in/etc/sysconfig/network
. Then, restart your network connection using the commandservice network restart
. - If your system uses the TSC timer, the
gettimeofday
system call may move backwards. This is because of an overflow issue that causes the TSC timer to jump forward significantly in some cases; when this occurs, the TSC timer will correct itself, but will ultimately register a movement backwards in time.This issue is particularly critical for time-sensitive systems, such as those used for transaction systems and databases. As such, if your system needs precision timing, Red Hat strongly recommends that you set the kernel to use another timer (for example, HPET). - The
READ_AHEAD
setting in thecciss
driver is now removed. Thecciss
driver will now use the block layer default of 256. Testing has shown that the settingREAD_AHEAD=1024
did not result in a consistent improvement in performance; in some situations, this setting could also cause the system to hang. - When multiple NFSv4 clients are repeatedly competing for read/write access to the same file on the NFS server, it is possible for one or more of those clients to stall for an indefinite period of time waiting for access. This occurs because the standard delay observed when failing to get an access delegation from the server is long enough for the client who currently owns such delegation to return it to the server and claim it back again.
- If your system has
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.2-5.el5_1.2
(or an earlier version) installed, you will be unable to upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 throughyum update
. To work around this, upgrade youryum-rhn-plugin
to the latest version (usingyum update yum-rhn-plugin
) before runningyum update
. - If your system has an older version of the
gfs2-kmod
package installed but theyum-kmod
package is not installed, upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 to 5.2 will fail. To prevent this, install the latest version ofyum-kmod
first (usingyum install yum-kmod
) before runningyum update
. - Thanks to the help of upstream developers and testing customers, the FS-Cache feature has undergone significant changes in line with upstream FS-Cache implementation. Consequently, the technology preview implementation of FS-Cache in this release is now rendered obsolete.As such, Red Hat does not recommend the usage of FS-Cache. Note that FS-Cache will also be likely disabled for the next minor releases.Red Hat will be focusing on further refining this feature as per upstream specifications. Once an acceptable level of invasiveness and compatibility is reached, FS-Cache will then be re-introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
- Anaconda cannot access more than 8 SmartArray controllers. If your system has more than 8 such controllers equipped, you will only be able to use storage on the first 8 controllers detected. Anaconda will fail when it attempts to open all other controllers (i.e. the 9th controller and above).Note, however, that these devices will still function properly after installation.
- Firefox is now updated to version 3.0. This update features several fixes and enhancements, most notably:
- Set homepages are now loaded correctly when the Firefox browser window is opened.
- Firefox no longer crashes when you search for the string "do".
- Firefox in 64-bit mode now loads the
ext
JavaScript library correctly. In previous versions of Firefox, web-based applications that used this library either took too long to load, or were never loaded at all. - A cross-site scripting flaw was discovered in the way Firefox handled the jar:URI scheme. This flaw made it possible for a malicious web site to conduct a scripting attack against the user. This security issue is now fixed in this update.
- Several flaws were discovered in the way Firefox processed certain malformed content. Web sites that contained such content could cause Firefox to crash or even execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. This security issue is now fixed in this update.
- A race condition was discovered in the way Firefox set the
window.location
property on a web page. With this flaw, it was possible for a web page to set an arbitraryReferer
header; this could lead to a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack against websites that rely only on theReferer
header. This security issue is now fixed in this update. - Firefox now renders correctly on laptops equipped with external display.
Note, however, that this update of Firefox is not fully backwards compatible with all JavaScripts or Firefox plugins used today.Also, Red Hat has observed that several large commercial web applications have relied on the presence of some cross-site scripting flaws addressed by this Firefox update. These scripting flaws are described in the following links:Consequently, the use of these commercial web applications may result in some loss of functionality. You can observe this in the presence of additional JavaScript errors in the Firefox Error Console (Tools => Error Console). Red Hat is currently working with the corresponding vendors to address this. - The updated
ixgbe
driver does not support the Intel 82598AT (Copper Pond 10GbE). - Red Hat closely tracks the upstream Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) code base in order to provide a maximal level of enablement for this still evolving technology. As a consequence, Red Hat can only preserve API/ABI compatibility across minor releases to the degree that the upstream project does. This is an exception from the general practice in the development of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.Because of this, applications build on top of the OFED stack (listed below), might require recompilation or even source-level code changes when moving from one minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to a newer one.This generally is not required for other applications, built on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux software stack.The components affected are:

1.2. x86 Architectures
- Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Open
alsamixer
. - Press Tab to toggle [Capture] in the View field (located at the upper left part of the menu).
- Press the Space bar.
- To verify that recording is enabled, the text above the
ADCMux
field should displayL R CAPTUR
.
1.3. x86-64 Architectures
- Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Open
alsamixer
. - Press Tab to toggle [Capture] in the View field (located at the upper left part of the menu).
- Press the Space bar.
- To verify that recording is enabled, the text above the
ADCMux
field should displayL R CAPTUR
.
- On an IBM T61 laptop, Red Hat recommends that you refrain from clicking the
glxgears
window (whenglxgears
is run). Doing so can lock the system.To prevent this from occurring, disable the tiling feature. To do so, add the following line in theDevice
section of/etc/X11/xorg.conf
:Option "Tiling" "0"
- The distribution version of the release notes stated that crash dumping through
kexec
andkdump
did not function reliably with HP Smart Array controllers. As of general availability, this issue is now resolved.
1.4. PowerPC Architectures
- Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Open
alsamixer
. - Press Tab to toggle [Capture] in the View field (located at the upper left part of the menu).
- Press the Space bar.
- To verify that recording is enabled, the text above the
ADCMux
field should displayL R CAPTUR
.
- The
setroubleshootd
daemon no longer exits with a fault the first timesealert
attempts to connect to the daemon.
1.5. ia64 Architecture
- Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Open
alsamixer
. - Press Tab to toggle [Capture] in the View field (located at the upper left part of the menu).
- Press the Space bar.
- To verify that recording is enabled, the text above the
ADCMux
field should displayL R CAPTUR
.
- Running
perftest
will fail if different CPU speeds are detected. As such, you should disable CPU speed scaling before runningperftest
. - When the
kdump
kernel is booted, the following error will appear in the boot log:mknod: /tmp/initrd.[numbers]/dev/efirtc: No such file or directory
This error results from a malformed request to create theefirtc
in an incorrect path. However, the device path in question is also created statically in theinitramfs
when thekdump
service is started. As such, the run-time creation of the device node is redundant, harmless, and should not affect the performance ofkdump
. - The distribution version of the release notes stated that crash dumping through
kexec
andkdump
did not function reliably with HP Smart Array controllers. As of general availability, this issue is now resolved. - Some systems may be unable to boot the
kdump
kernel properly. In such cases, use themachvec=dig
kernel parameter.
2. Installation-Related Notes
This section includes information specific to Anaconda and the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2.
Red Hat Network can install the new and changed packages and upgrade an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system. Alternatively, Anaconda can upgrade an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system or perform a fresh installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2.
Note: upgrading from beta releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 to this GA release is not supported.
Further, although Anaconda provides an option for upgrading from earlier major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, Red Hat does not currently support this. More generally, Red Hat does not support in-place upgrades between any major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. (A major version is denoted by a whole number version change. For example, Red Hat Enteprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are both major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.)
In-place upgrades across major releases do not preserve all system settings, services or custom configurations. Consequently, Red Hat strongly recommends fresh installations when upgrading from one major version to another.
2.1. All Architectures
- A version naming issue in the updated
libdhcp6client
may cause some package upgrades to fail. To work around this, manually remove the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 version oflibdhcp6client
before performing an upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2. - When installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM on a system with an iBFT-configured network device, Anaconda will not include any iBFT-configured storage devices unless networking is configured. To enable networking for the installation, use the command
linux updates=http://[any]
at the installation boot prompt. Note that[any]
can be replaced with any URL.If your system requires a static IP configuration, use the commandlinux updates=http://[any] ip=[IP address] netmask=[netmask] dns=[dns]
. - If you are copying the contents of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 CD-ROMs (in preparation for a network-based installation, for example) be sure to copy the CD-ROMs for the operating system only. Do not copy the
Supplementary CD-ROM
, or any of the layered product CD-ROMs, as this will overwrite files necessary for Anaconda's proper operation.The contents of theSupplementary CD-ROM
and other layered product CD-ROMs must be installed after Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 is installed. - When installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on a fully virtualized guest, do not use the
kernel-xen
kernel. Using this kernel on fully virtualized guests can cause your system to hang.If you are using an Installation Number when installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on a fully virtualized guest, be sure to deselect theVirtualization
package group during the installation. TheVirtualization
package group option installs thekernel-xen
kernel.Note that paravirtualized guests are not affected by this issue. Paravirtualized guests always use thekernel-xen
kernel. - If you are using the Virtualized kernel when upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to 5.2, you must reboot after completing the upgrade. You should then boot the system using the updated Virtualized kernel.The hypervisors of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 5.2 are not ABI-compatible. If you do not boot the system after upgrading using the updated Virtualized kernel, the upgraded Virtualization RPMs will not match the running kernel.
- When upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 or later from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6,
gcc4
may cause the upgrade to fail. As such, you should manually remove thegcc4
package before upgrading. - The
firstboot
language plugin has been removed, as it does not properly and completely reconfigure the system when a new language is selected. - The use of Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) during installation is not supported. As such, CHAP should only be enabled after installation.If your system boots through an iFBT device, configure CHAP in the iFBT BIOS/firmware setup screen. Your CHAP settings will then be used in the next boot.If your system boots through PXE iSCSI, configure CHAP through
iscsiadm
. After configuring, usemkinitrd
to ensure that your CHAP settings are used in the next boot.
2.2. PowerPC Architectures
- The minimum RAM required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 is 1GB; the recommended RAM is 2GB. If a machine has less than 1GB RAM, the installation process may hang.Further, PowerPC-based machines that have only 1GB of RAM experience significant performance issues under certain RAM-intensive workloads. For a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 system to perform RAM-intensive processes optimally, 4GB of RAM is recommended. This ensures the system has the same number of physical pages as was available on PowerPC machines with 512MB of RAM running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 or earlier.
2.3. ia64 Architecture
- If your system only has 512MB of RAM, attempting to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 may fail. To prevent this, perform a base installation first and install all other packages after the installation finishes.
- Using
yum
to install packages from the32-bit Compatibility Layer
disc may fail. If it does, it is because the Red Hat package signing key was not imported into the RPM database. This happens if you have not yet connected to Red Hat Network and obtained updates. To import the key manually, run the following command as root:rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
Once the Red Hat GPG key is imported, you may now useyum
to install packages from the32-bit Compatibility Layer
disc.Note that when installing from this disc, it is advisable to useyum
instead ofrpm
to ensure that base OS dependencies are addressed during installation. - When upgrading a large number of packages with
yum update
, the update process will take longer to finish than previous versions.
3. Feature Updates
3.1. All Architectures
- Systemtap
- Systemtap is a GPL-based infrastructure which simplifies information gathering on a running Linux system. This assists in diagnosis of performance or functional problems. With
systemtap
, the tedious and disruptive "instrument, recompile, install, and reboot" sequence is no longer needed to collect diagnostic data.Systemtap is now fully supported. For more information refer to http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap. - iSNS-utils
- The Internet storage name service for Linux (
isns-utils
) is now supported. This allows you to register iSCSI and iFCP storage devices on the network.isns-utils
allows dynamic discovery of available storage targets through storage initiators.isns-utils
provides intelligent storage discovery and management services comparable to those found in fibre-channel networks. This allows an IP network to function in a similar capacity to a storage area network.With its ability to emulate fibre-channel fabric services,isns-utils
allows for seamless integration of IP and fibre-channel networks. In addition,isns-utils
also provides utilities for managing both iSCSI and fibre-channel devices within the network.For more information aboutisns-utils
specifications, refer to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4171. For usage instructions, refer to/usr/share/docs/isns-utils-[version]/README
and/usr/share/docs/isns-utils-[version]/README.redhat.setup
. - rsyslog
rsyslog
is an enhanced multi-threadedsyslogd
daemon that supports the following (among others):- MySQL
- syslog/tcp
- RFC 3195
- permitted sender lists
- filtering on any message part
- more granular output format control
rsyslog
is compatible with the stocksysklogd
, and can be used as a replacement in most cases. Its advanced features make it suitable for enterprise-class, encryptedsyslog
relay chains; at the same time, its user-friendly interface is designed to make setup easy for novice users.For more information aboutrsyslog
, refer to http://www.rsyslog.com/.- Openswan
- Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) for Linux. IPsec uses strong cryptography to provide authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted network is encrypted by the IPsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network (VPN).This release of Openswan supports IKEv2 (RFC 4306, 4718) and contains an IKE2 daemon that conforms to IETF RFCs. For more information about Openswan, refer to http://www.openswan.org/.
- Evolution
- The Evolution update for this release now features the following enhancements (among others):
- Bogofilter compatibility for filtering junk mail.
- An option to receive pop-up notifications for new mail.
- Improved performance for downloading messages from a Microsoft Exchange™ server.
- A setup assistant to guide you through both backing up and restoring data and settings.
- Thunderbird
- Thunderbird has been updated to version 2.0.0.12. This update applies the following features (among others):
- Message tags, which help organize email.
- Built-in support for Google Mail and .Mac mail.
- Find-as-you-type, which highlights and filters message text as you type.
- An updated extension system, which provides enhanced security and allows easier extension localization.
For more information about this update, refer to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/2.0.0.0/releasenotes/. - Password Hashing Using SHA-256/SHA-512
- Password hashing using the SHA-256 and SHA-512 hash functions is now supported.To switch to SHA-256 or SHA-512 on an installed system, run
authconfig --passalgo=sha256 --update
orauthconfig --passalgo=sha512 --update
. To configure the hashing method through a GUI, useauthconfig-gtk
. Existing user accounts will not be affected until their passwords are changed.For newly installed systems, using SHA-256 or SHA-512 can be configured only for kickstart installations. To do so, use the--passalgo=sha256
or--passalgo=sha512
options of the kickstart commandauth
; also, remove the--enablemd5
option if present.If your installation does not use kickstart, useauthconfig
as described above. After installation, change all created passwords, including the root password.Appropriate options were also added tolibuser
,pam
, andshadow-utils
to support these password hashing algorithms.authconfig
configures necessary options automatically, so it is usually not necessary to modify them manually:- New values of the
crypt_style
option and new options for bothhash_rounds_min
andhash_rounds_max
are now supported in the[defaults]
section of/etc/libuser.conf
. For more information, refer toman libuser.conf
. - New options
sha256
,sha512
, androunds
are now supported by thepam_unix
PAM module. For more information, refer to/usr/share/doc/pam-[pam version]/txts/README.pam_unix
. - The following new options in
/etc/login.defs
are now supported byshadow-utils
:ENCRYPT_METHOD
— Specifies the encryption methods to be used. Valid values areDES
,MD5
,SHA256
, andSHA512
. If this option is defined,MD5_CRYPT_ENAB
is ignored.SHA_CRYPT_MIN_ROUNDS
andSHA_CRYPT_MAX_ROUNDS
— Specifies the number of hashing rounds to use ifENCRYPT_METHOD
is set toSHA256
orSHA512
. If neither option is set, a default value is chosen byglibc
. If only one option is set, the encryption method specifies the number of rounds.If both options are used, they specify an inclusive interval from which the number of rounds is chosen randomly. The selected number of rounds is limited to the inclusive interval [1000, 999999999].
- OFED in comps.xml
- The group
OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution
is now included incomps.xml
. This group contains components used for high-performance networking and clustering (for example, InfiniBand and Remote Direct Memory Access).Further, theWorkstation
group has been removed fromcomps.xml
in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Client version. This group only contained theopenib
package, which is now part of theOpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution
group. - system-config-netboot
system-config-netboot
is now included in this update. This is a GUI-based tool used for enabling, configuring, and disabling network booting. It is also useful in configuring PXE-booting for network installations and diskless clients.- openmpi
- In order to accommodate the use of compilers other than
gcc
for specific applications that use message passing interface (MPI), the following updates have been applied to theopenmpi
andlam
packages:- MPI installations are now consolidated under a single installation directory. All files can now be found under
/usr/lib(64)/lam
and/usr/lib(64)/openmpi/[openmpi version]-[compiler name]
. - Version and compiler strings are now included in the
openmpi
installation path, but not thelam
installation path. This enables you to install multiple versions ofopenmpi
, or install the same version ofopenmpi
built by different compilers.While this capability allows you to use a version ofopenmpi
built by another compiler, Red Hat only supports the latest,gcc
-compiled version ofopenmpi
. openmpi
andlam
now usempi-selector
to set which MPI implementation to use at any given time. For more information, refer toman mpi-selector
andman mpi-selector-menu
.
Note that when upgrading to this release's version ofopenmpi
, you should migrate any default parameters set forlam
oropenmpi
to/usr/lib(64)/lam/etc/
and/usr/lib(64)/openmpi/[openmpi version]-[compiler name]/etc/
. All configurations for eitheropenmpi
orlam
should be set in these directories. - lvm2 Snapshot Volume Warning
lvm2
will now warn if a snapshot volume is near its maximum capacity. However, this feature is not enabled by default.To enable this feature, uncomment the following line in/etc/lvm/lvm.conf
:snapshot_library = "libdevmapper-event-lvm2snapshot.so"
Ensure that thedmeventd
section and its delimiters ({ }
) are also uncommented.- bash
bash
has been updated to version 3.2. This version fixes a number of outstanding bugs, most notably:bash
man page: updated to reflect the correct behavior of special built-in commands (such aseval
,exec
, andset
. In addition, thebash
man page now includes an explanation of the use of aliases in non-interactive scripts.- File descriptors now work as expected; in previous releases,
bash
did not close file descriptors with two or more digits. - A bug in the way
bash
handled certain multi-byte strings is now fixed.
Note that with this update, the output ofulimit -a
has also changed from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 version. This may cause a problems with some automated scripts. If you have any scripts that useulimit -a
output strings, you should revise them accordingly.
3.2. s390x Architectures
- Writing System Data to z/VM Monitor Stream
- It is now possible to write process and file system data to the z/VM monitor stream. This allows you to consolidate more system resource information into a single source for performance monitoring purposes.However, since the appropriate scripts for the services in
/etc/init.d
are not available in this release, you need to manually start the daemons for them. To write process utilization data to the z/VM monitor stream, run/usr/sbin/mon_procd
. To write file system utilization data to the z/VM monitor stream, run/usr/sbin/mon_fsstatd
.
4. Driver Updates
4.1. All Architectures
- General Driver/Platform Updates
- Added the necessary PCI IDs to support the Intel E7221 Graphic Controller.
- Added the necessary sub-device IDs to support the PCI-Express icom WAN adapter.
i2c-piix4
kernel module is now enabled to support the AMD SBX00 SMBus.- The following kernel configuration flags are now enabled to enhance kernel panic handling for Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI):
CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
— when a panic occurs, the IPMI message handler generates an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface registered with the message handler.CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING
— when a panic occurs, OEM events containing the panic string are generated.
In addition to this, IPMI now supports the IBM Bladecenter QS21 and QS22. - The
tlclk
driver is now included to support the Intel MPCBL0050 systems. - Intel Dynamic Acceleration Technology is now supported on Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors. This allows a core to run at a higher-than-normal frequency when all CPUs (as a whole) are operating below maximum power.
ioatdma
: Added the necessary PCI IDs to support the DMA engine used in Unisys ES7000 systems.
- Graphics/Audio
- High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) audio is now supported on AMD ATI integrated chipsets.
- The Intel Xorg driver now provides enhanced support for i915 (and later) chips. This driver is also the default driver now for such chips. If you prefer to use the older Xorg driver (originally used for i810 chips), replace
Intel
withi810
in theDriver
line of/etc/X11/xorg.conf
(under the"Device"
section).Basic runtime multi-head support is provided by theintel
Xorg driver. Selecting a resolution with the System => Preferences => Screen Resolution tool (gnome-display-properties
) will set that resolution on all connected outputs.Video hotkey support (Fn+F7 on most laptops) in the"intel"
Xorg driver will scan all output connectors (including ports for the built-in flat panel on laptops) to determine which of them have monitors attached. All connected output ports will then be enabled.
- Network
bnx2x
: driver added to provide support for bcm5710 hardware.tg3
: updated to version 3.86. This update enables support for BroadCom 5761 and 5784 devices.sierra
: updated to version 1.0.5. This update enables support for additional variants of Sierra Wireless MC8755 and MC8775 chipsets.- In this release, the Intel 82540 – 82547 network cards are supported by the
e1000
driver, while the following network cards are supported by thee1000e
driver:- Intel 82571 – 82573
- Intel 82562
- Intel 82566
- Intel 80003eslan
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, thee1000
driver supported all the aforementioned network cards.If your system contains a combination of both types of network cards, ethernet devices may be enumerated in a different order in this release. You may need to modify your network configuration after installation in order to remap each card's hardware address to specific device names if you need to preserve a particular order.Note that properly configured systems should not have device names changed on upgrade. To ensure this, the network configuration files (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-[device name]
) should contain theHWADDR
parameter, binding the device name to a specific hardware address.
- Storage
lpfc
: updated to version 8.2.0.22. This update applies severaldevloss
fixes, and enables support for the following:- 1, 2, 4, and 8GB auto-rate negotiation.
- FC-SP DH-CHAP Authentication.
- The latest HBAnyware configuration utility, which is also part of the driver master kit. This enables GUI-based driver configuration (including fibre channel and TCP/IP remote storage area network management), diagnostics (loopback and diagnostics dump) and FC-SP/Authentication Diffie-Hellman CHAP (DH-CHAP).
- LPe1250, LPe1252, LPe12000 and LPe12002 (2, 4, and 8Gb capable HBAs).
- NPIV virtual ports.
megaraid_sas
: updated to version 3.15. This applies several upstream changes, most notably:- Added the following module parameters:
fast_load
: enables the driver to load faster by skipping physical device check.cmd_per_lun
: sets the maximum number of commands per logical unit.max_sectors
: sets the maximum number of sectors per I/O command.poll_mode_io
: enables support for polling (i.e. reduced interrupt operations). Whenpoll_mode_io
is set, commands will also be completed from the I/O path.
- Added support for hibernation.
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
is now blocked by the driver.
aacraid
: updated to version 1.1.5-2453. This applies several upstream changes, most notably:- Fixed a bug that caused
aacraid
to use an incorrectdma
mapping mask during firmware assert recovery. - Added the capability to issue a hardware reset to the adapter via
sysfs
. In line with this, the following check features were also added:check_interval
— for checking adapter healthupdate_interval
— for revising time intervals used by adaptercheck_reset
— for blocking adapter checks/resets
- Added a
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
call to implement a more effective cache flushing schedule. This helps reduce application stalls resulting from multiple applications issuing I/O commands to the storage device. - Replaced all
if/else
packet formations with platform function calls. - VPD inquiry pages are now supported. This ensures that when an array is created, the metadata stored on the physical device is issued a unique serial number. This serial number remains constant throughout array morphing or migration to other controllers.
qla2xxx
: updated to version 8.02.00-k5. This update toqla2xxx
adds support for the following:- EHAFT, a QLogic host bus adapter mechanism that provides activity information about fibre channel devices.
- N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which allows multiple N_Port IDs to share a single physical N_Port. This allows you to tie virtualized guests to fibre-channel identifiers, allowing those guests to migrate between hosts while retaining their access in the storage area network.
- 8GB fibre-channel devices.
This update also applies several improvements provided from upstream.mpt fusion
: updated to version 3.04.05. This update provides several changes, most notably:- On-the-fly logging (via the
sysfs
shost
attribute) is now supported. - Added new
sysfs
shost
attributes that provide the following:board_name
board_assembly
board_tracer
unique_id
version_bios
version_fw
version_product
version_mpi
version_nvdata_default
version_nvdata_persistent
debug_level
io_delay
device_delay
task_abort
calls are no longer sent to hidden RAID components and volumes.- Changes related to fibre channel:
- Brocade, a rebranded FC949E fibre channel controller, is now supported.
- Link speeds are now displayed when the driver is loaded and whenever the link speed changes.
- High-priority request queueing is now used instead of the handshake/doorbell system when sending management requests for SAS or fibre channel.
- Changes related to parallel SCSI:
- ATTO UL4D, a rebranded SPI 1030 controller, is now supported.
mptspi_target_destroy
is now declared as static.
4.2. x86 Architectures
- General Driver/Platform Updates

- The maximum length of the kernel command line is now 2,048 bytes. To use this increased maximum length, upgrade the
grub
package. - The following chipsets are now supported through the
EDAC
driver:- Intel 3000
- Intel 3010
- Intel 5000 (Greencreek/Blackford)
- The Intel Tolapai chipset (SATA, I2C) is now supported.
- Graphics/Audio
- The Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (S/PDIF) port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station is now supported by the Dell M4300 and M6300 Precision Workstations. This allows digital audio output through the S/PDIF port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station when either the M4300 or M6300 is docked.
4.3. x86-64 Architectures
- General Driver/Platform Updates
- The maximum length of the kernel command line is now 2,048 bytes. To use this increased maximum length, upgrade the
grub
package. - The following chipsets are now supported through the
EDAC
driver:- Intel 3000
- Intel 3010
- Intel 5000 (Greencreek/Blackford)
- Graphics/Audio
- The Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (S/PDIF) port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station is now supported by the Dell M4300 and M6300 Precision Workstations. This allows digital audio output through the S/PDIF port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station when either the M4300 or M6300 is docked.
4.4. PowerPC Architectures
- Graphics/Audio
- The Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (S/PDIF) port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station is now supported by the Dell M4300 and M6300 Precision Workstations. This allows digital audio output through the S/PDIF port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station when either the M4300 or M6300 is docked.
4.5. ia64 Architecture
- Graphics/Audio
- The Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (S/PDIF) port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station is now supported by the Dell M4300 and M6300 Precision Workstations. This allows digital audio output through the S/PDIF port on the Dell D/Dock Expansion Station when either the M4300 or M6300 is docked.
5. Kernel-Related Updates
5.1. All Architectures
- Executing binaries with more than 2GB of debug information no longer fails.
- When shutting down a database, all allocated hugepages are now released upon shutdown.
invalidate_mapping_pages()
calls no longer cause soft lockups.- A bug that delayed
oomkill
from launching in a timely fashion (on systems with large memory) is now fixed. - A bug that caused soft lockup warnings when allocating memory on a system with large memory is now fixed.
- 32-bit NFS clients can now correctly process 64-bit inode numbers.
- The kernel now asserts Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signals before printing to serial ports during boot time. DTR assertion is required by some devices. Kernel boot messages are now printed to serial consoles on such devices.
- The kernel parameter
ide0=noprobe
no longer causes a kernel panic. - Added a new kernel parameter:
/proc/sys/vm/flush_mmap_pages
. This parameter specifies whether or not memory-mapped file pages should be flushed to disk bykupdate
while the memory map is active. Valid values for this parameter are1
(enable memory mapping bykupdate
) and0
(disable memory mapping bykupdate
). The default value for this parameter is1
.To configure this parameter, useecho [1 or 0] /proc/sys/vm/flush_mmap_pages
. Setting this parameter to0
does the following:kupdate
will not flush dirty memory-mapped file pages as long as the memory map is active.- All dirty file pages will be asynchronously flushed to disk only as soon as the memory map is deactivated.
If you set/proc/sys/vm/flush_mmap_pages
to0
, it is advisable that you use another application to manually sync memory-mapped pages to disk. - Added a new kernel parameter:
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_interactivity
. This parameter allows you to tune the CPU scheduler's interactivity estimator. The interactivity estimator allows interactive processes to acquire more CPU time without causing CPU starvation in other processes.To configure this parameter, useecho [interactivity_level] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_interactivity
, where[interactivity_level]
can be any of the following:2
— interactivity estimator is fully activated.1
— provides a weaker affinity to interactive processes than2
, but avoids CPU starvation under certain scheduling patterns.0
— any bias or affinity towards interactive processes is disabled.
kprobe
now supportskretprobe_blacklist[]
.- Core dump masking is now supported. This allows a core dump process to skip the shared memory segments of a process when creating a core dump file. This feature also allows you to select whether or not to dump anonymous shared memory for each process.When a process is dumped, all anonymous memory is written to a core file as long as the size of the core file isn't limited. In some cases, you may want to prevent some memory segments (such as huge shared memory) from being dumped. Conversely, you may also want to save file-backed memory segments into a core file, in addition to individual files.For these purposes, you can use
/proc/[pid]/coredump_filter
to specify which memory segments of the[pid]
process is dumped.coredump_filter
is a bitmask of memory types. If a bitmask is set, memory segments of the corresponding memory type are dumped.The following memory types are supported:0x0
— anonymous private memory0x1
— anonymous shared memory0x2
— file-backed private memory0x3
— file-backed shared memory
To set a bitmask for[pid]
, simplyecho
the corresponding bitmask to/proc/[pid]/coredump_filter
. For example, to prevent a dump of all shared memory segments attached to process 1111, use:echo 0x1 > /proc/1111/coredump_filter
The default value ofcoredump_filter
is0x3
, which specifies that all anonymous memory segments are dumped. Also, note that regardless of the bitmask status, MMIO pages (such as frame buffers) are never dumped and vDSO pages are always dumpedWhen a new process is created, the process inherits the bitmask status from its parent. As such, Red Hat recommends that you set upcoredump_filter
before the program runs. To do so,echo
the desired bitmask to/proc/self/coredump_filter
before running the program. audit
can now trace and display per-session user activity.- REV UDF file sizes larger than 1GB are now supported.
- Lock contention tracing and
lockdep
are now supported. These features provide in-depth information about spinlocks held in the kernel, which in turn help developers in driver debugging. - The enumeration order of PCI devices has changed on several platforms to have NICs appear in the order they are labeled on the chassis and how the BIOS numbers them. The affected platforms are as follows:
- Dell PowerEdge R900
- HP ProLiant DL385 G2
- HP ProLiant DL585 G2
- HP Proliant DL580 G5
Note that this change affects new installations only. If you prefer the old enumeration order, use the kernel parameterpci=nobfsort
. - You can now determine the resource limit (
rlimit
) of a process. To do so, runcat /proc/[pid]/limits
. - The maximum soft lockup timeout is now increased from 60 seconds to 300 seconds for systems that have a large number of CPUs. A soft lockup occurs when a CPU reports a memory starvation while it is unable to access a memory node accessed by other CPUs.In this release, you can also adjust the trigger limit for soft lockup warnings. To do so, use the following command (as root):
echo [time] > /proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_thresh
Replace[time]
with the desired number of seconds before a soft lockup warning should be triggered. By default, this value is set to 10 (seconds). show_mem()
output now includes the total number of pagecache pages.- MSI-X is no longer enabled by default. To enable MSI-X, use the kernel module parameter
ql2xenablemsix
.
5.2. PowerPC Architectures
oprofile
now supports the Cell Broadband Engine. Note, however, that fulloprofile
support is available only for the PPU code in this release.For the SPU code, symbol-based profiling is not supported.
5.3. ia64 Architecture
- Added support for Corrected Machine Check Interrupt (CMCI) on hot-added CPUs.
6. Virtualization
This section contains information about updates made to Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite of Virtualization tools.
6.1. All Architectures
- Enhancements/Updates
- Running 16 cores or more using AMD Rev F processors no longer results in system resets when performing fully-virtualized guest installations.
- On an AMD NPT system used as a PAE host, guests can now have more than 4GB of memory.Note that nested paging can only translate 32-bit guest virtual addresses. This is because of a hardware feature that exists only in 32-bit physical address extensions (PAE).
- When entering the second stage of a Windows™ Server 2003 installation, you no longer need to manually edit
/etc/xen/[name of guest machine]
to continue. The current user interface now allows you to change media on CD-ROMs attached to the guest. - The Virtual Machine Manager (
virt-manager
) included in this release now allows users to specify kernel boot parameters to the paravirtualized guest installer. - During the lifetime of
dom0
, you can now create guests (i.e.xm create
) more than 32,750 times. - When using
virt-manager
to add disks to an existing guest, duplicate entries are no longer created in the guest's/etc/xen/[domain name]
configuration file.
- Known Issues
- Paravirtualized guests can only have a maximum of 16 disk devices.
- Repeated live migration of paravirtualized guests between two hosts may cause one host to panic. If a host is rebooted after migrating a guest out of the system and before migrating the same guest back, the panic will not occur.
- If a system configured for
kdump
encounters a kernel panic while an IDE device is performing I/O, the system may be unable to successfully boot into thekdump
environment. This occurs if the IDE device is controlled by a device driver other thanlibata
, and is caused by a bug in the IDE/ATA driver stack.To work around this, use thekdump
command-line argumenthd[X]=noprobe
for storage devices andhd[X]=cdrom
for optical drives, where[X]
is the device identifier. Either command-line argument should be added toKDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND
in/etc/sysconfig/kdump
.
6.2. x86 Architectures
- Known Issues
- Migrating paravirtualized guests through
xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address]
does not work. - When installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on a fully virtualized SMP guest, the installation may freeze. This can occur when the host (
dom0
) is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2.To prevent this, set the guest to use a single processor using the install. You can do this by using the--vcpus=1
option invirt-install
. Once the installation is completed, you can set the guest to SMP by modifying the allocatedvcpus
in virt-manager.
6.3. x86-64 Architectures
- Enhancements/Updates
- The hypervisor can now support up to 512GB of memory. To ensure that the system properly detects and uses this much memory, boot the virtualized kernel with the parameter
xenheap_megabytes=64
.For systems that use Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA), Red Hat recommends that you use the parameterdom0_mem=512m
. Note that this can be set to a maximum of 120GB (dom0_mem=120gb
). - You can now run paravirtualized 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts. This capability is now included as a technology preview. Note that the ability to save, restore, and migrate paravirtualized 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts is not functional, and as such should not be attempted.
- Known Issues
- Migrating paravirtualized guests through
xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address]
does not work. - Creating a guest more than 1,000 times will cause
dom0
to reboot suddenly. Red Hat recommends that you pre-empt this by rebootingdom0
before the domain ID of any guest reaches 1000. - Installing the Virtualization feature may cause a
time went backwards
warning on HP systems with model numbers xw9300 and xw9400.To work around this issue for xw9400 machines, configure the BIOS settings to enable the HPET timer. Note that this option is not available on xw9300 machines. - Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.9 on a fully virtualized guest may be extremely slow. In addition, booting up the guest after installation may result in
hda: lost interrupt
errors.To avoid this bootup error, configure the guest to use the SMP kernel. - Upgrading a host (
dom0
) system to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 may render existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 SMP paravirtualized guests unbootable. This is more likely to occur when the host system has more than 4GB of RAM.To work around this, boot each Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 guest in single CPU mode and upgrade its kernel to the latest version (for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5.z).
6.4. ia64 Architecture
- Enhancements/Updates
- When attempting to create a fully-virtualized guest, the hypervisor no longer hangs due to memory shortage when a large amount of memory is allocated to the guest. This version of the hypervisor automatically takes care of allocating needed memory for hypervisor overhead.
- Virtualization on this architecture can now support guests with RAM beyond 65,434 MB.
- By default, the Itanium
dom0
virtualized kernel can now boot with up to 4 CPUs and a maximum system memory of 4GB. In previous releases, the Itaniumdom0
virtualized kernel only booted with 1 CPU and a maximum system memory of 500MB by default.In addition to this, the Itaniumdom0
virtualized kernel allocates as much system memory as it can (up to the 4GB maximum by default, or up to the maximum amount specified with thedom0_mem=
parameter) while avoiding memory starvation on the hypervisor.
- Known Issues
- Migrating paravirtualized guests through
xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address]
does not work. - Creating a guest more than 1,000 times will cause
dom0
to reboot suddenly. Red Hat recommends that you pre-empt this by rebootingdom0
before the domain ID of any guest reaches 1000. - If you encounter a guest installation failure, Red Hat recommends that you restart the
xend
daemon before attempting to install a new guest. - On some Itanium systems configured for console output to VGA, the
dom0
virtualized kernel may fail to boot. This is because the virtualized kernel failed to properly detect the default console device from the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) settings.When this occurs, add the boot parameterconsole=tty
to the kernel boot options in/boot/efi/elilo.conf
. - On some Itanium systems (such as the Hitachi Cold Fusion 3e), the serial port cannot be detected in
dom0
when VGA is enabled by the EFI Maintenance Manager. As such, you need to supply the following serial port information to thedom0
kernel:- Speed in bits/second
- Number of data bits
- Parity
io_base
address
These details must be specified in theappend=
line of thedom0
kernel in/boot/efi/elilo.conf
. For example:append="com1=19200,8n1,0x3f8—quiet rhgb console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8"
In this example,com1
is the serial port,19200
is the speed (in bits/second),8n1
specifies the number of data bits/parity settings, and0x3f8
is theio_base
address. - Virtualization does not work on architectures that use NUMA. As such, installing the virtualized kernel on systems that use NUMA will result in a boot failure.Some installation numbers install the virtualized kernel by default. If you have such an installation number and your system uses NUMA (or cannot disable NUMA), deselect the Virtualization option during installation.
- Currently, live migration of fully virtualized guests is not supported on this architecture. In addition,
kexec
andkdump
are also not supported for virtualization on this architecture.
7. Technology Previews
Technology Preview features are currently not supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription services, may not be functionally complete, and are generally not suitable for production use. However, these features are included as a customer convenience and to provide the feature with wider exposure.
Customers may find these features useful in a non-production environment. Customers are also free to provide feedback and functionality suggestions for a Technology Preview feature before it becomes fully supported. Erratas will be provided for high-severity security issues.
During the development of a Technology Preview feature, additional components may become available to the public for testing. It is the intention of Red Hat to fully support Technology Preview features in a future release.
7.1. All Architectures
- ALUA Mode on EMC Clariion
- Explicit active-passive failover (ALUA) mode using
dm-multipath
on EMC Clariion storage is now available. This mode is provided as per T10 specifications, but is provided in this release only as a technology preview.For more information about T10, refer to http://www.t10.org. - radeon_tp
- The
radeon_tp
driver is now included in this release as a Technology Preview. This driver enables the ATI R500/R600 chipsets.This driver also features the following capabilities:- Modesetting on R500/R600 chipsets
- 2D acceleration on R500 chipsets
- Shadow framebuffer acceleration on R600 chipsets
- FreeIPMI
- FreeIPMI is now included in this update as a Technology Preview. FreeIPMI is a collection of Intelligent Platform Management IPMI system software. It provides in-band and out-of-band software, along with a development library conforming to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI v1.5 and v2.0) standards.For more information about FreeIPMI, refer to http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/
- Frysk
- The goal of the
frysk
project is to create an intelligent, distributed, always-on system monitoring and debugging tool that allows developers and system administrators to:- monitor running processes and threads (including creation and destruction events)
- monitor the use of locking primitives
- expose deadlocks
- gather data
- debug any given process by choosing it from a list or allowing
frysk
to open a source code (or other) window on a process that is crashing or misbehaving
This updated version offrysk
includes the following new utilities:fauxv
fdebuginfo
fdebugrpm
ferror
fexe
fmaps
In addition,ftrace
can now perform signal and function symbol tracing. In previous releases,ftrace
could only perform system call tracing.frysk
was introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and is still included in this release as a Technology Preview. For more information aboutfrysk
, refer to http://sources.redhat.com/frysk/. - TrouSerS and tpm-tools
- TrouSerS and
tpm-tools
are included in this release to enable use of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware.TPM hardware features include (among others):- Creation, storage, and use of RSA keys securely (without being exposed in memory)
- Verification of a platform's software state using cryptographic hashes
TrouSerS is an implementation of the Trusted Computing Group's Software Stack (TSS) specification. You can use TrouSerS to write applications that make use of TPM hardware.tpm-tools
is a suite of tools used to manage and utilize TPM hardware.For more information about TrouSerS, refer to http://trousers.sourceforge.net/. - eCryptfs
eCryptfs
is a stacked cryptographic file system for Linux. It mounts on individual directories in existing mounted lower file systems such as EXT3; there is no need to change existing partitions or file systems in order to start usingeCryptfs
.eCryptfs
stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written to the lower file system. This enables you to copy encrypted files between hosts or directly onto backup media. Files encrypted and copied in this manner can be decrypted with the proper key.This release's version ofeCryptfs
provides several key management options, including protection based on passphrases and public keys. Below is a list of other fully functional features:- Interactive and non-interactive mounting.
- Compatibility with SELinux.
- Cryptographic metadata storage in both
xattrs
and file headers.
At present, the following issues still exist witheCryptfs
:direct_IO
is not implemented.- Complex I/O patterns within the
mmap
implementation ineCryptfs
may cause data corruption in some cases. eCryptfs
cannot be used for root file systems.
For more information abouteCryptfs
, refer to http://ecryptfs.sf.net. You can also refer to http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/README and http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs-faq.html for basic setup information.- GFS2
- GFS2 is an incremental advancement of GFS. This update applies several significant improvements that require a change to the on-disk file system format. GFS file systems can be converted to GFS2 using the utility
gfs2_convert
, which updates the metadata of a GFS file system accordingly.While much improved since its introduction in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, GFS2 remains a Technology Preview. Benchmark tests indicate faster performance on the following:- heavy usage in a single directory and faster directory scans (Postmark benchmark)
- synchronous I/O operations (
fstest
benchmark test indicates improved performance for messaging applications like TIBCO) - cached reads, as there is no longer any locking overhead
- direct I/O to preallocated files
- NFS file handle lookups
df
, as allocation information is now cached
In addition, GFS2 also features the following changes:- journals are now plain (though hidden) files instead of metadata. Journals can now be dynamically added as additional servers mount a file system.
- quotas are now enabled and disabled by the mount option
quota=<on|off|account>
quiesce
is no longer needed on a cluster to replay journals for failure recovery- nanosecond timestamps are now supported
- similar to ext3, GFS2 now supports the
data=ordered
mode - attribute settings
lsattr()
andchattr()
are now supported via standardioctl()
- file system sizes above 16TB are now supported
- GFS2 is a standard file system, and can be used in non-clustered configurations
- Stateless Linux
- Stateless Linux is a new way of thinking about how a system should be run and managed, designed to simplify provisioning and management of large numbers of systems by making them easily replaceable. This is accomplished primarily by establishing prepared system images which get replicated and managed across a large number of stateless systems, running the operating system in a read-only manner (refer to
/etc/sysconfig/readonly-root
for more details).In its current state of development, the Stateless features are subsets of the intended goals. As such, the capability remains as Technology Preview.Red Hat recommends that those interested in testing stateless code read the HOWTO at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux/HOWTO and join stateless-list@redhat.com.The enabling infrastructure pieces for Stateless Linux were originally introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. - AIGLX
- AIGLX is a Technology Preview feature of the otherwise fully supported X server. It aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop. The project consists of the following:
- A lightly modified X server.
- An updated Mesa package that adds new protocol support.
By installing these components, you can have GL-accelerated effects on your desktop with very few changes, as well as the ability to enable and disable them at will without replacing your X server. AIGLX also enables remote GLX applications to take advantage of hardware GLX acceleration. - iSCSI Target
- The Linux target (tgt) framework allows a system to serve block-level SCSI storage to other systems that have a SCSI initiator. This capability is being initially deployed as a Linux iSCSI target, serving storage over a network to any iSCSI initiator.To set up the iSCSI target, install the
scsi-target-utils
RPM and refer to the instructions in:/usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[version]/README
/usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[version]/README.iscsi
Replace[version]
with the corresponding version of the package installed.For more information, refer toman tgtadm
. - FireWire
- The
firewire-sbp2
module is still included in this update as a Technology Preview. This module enables connectivity with FireWire storage devices and scanners.At present, FireWire does not support the following:- IPv4
- pcilynx host controllers
- multi-LUN storage devices
- non-exclusive access to storage devices
In addition, the following issues still exist in FireWire:- a memory leak in the
SBP2
driver may cause the machine to become unresponsive. - a code in this version does not work properly in big-endian machines. This could lead to unexpected behavior in PowerPC.
7.2. x86 Architectures
- mac80211 802.11a/b/g WiFi protocol stack (mac80211)

8. Resolved Issues
8.1. All Architectures
- Netapp devices can now complete failback (after a previously-failed path is restored) within a reasonable time with the default
dm-multipath
configuration. system-config-kickstart
now supports package selection through the Red Hat Network plugin.kudzu
can now properly parseifcfg-*
files that contain quotes around theHWADDR
orSUBCHANNELS
parameters. In addition, if a device'sHWADDR
is not specified,kudzu
no longer modifies network configurations when the device is changed.- Running
netstat
with the-A inet
or-A inet6
option (on a system wheresctp
was not added to the kernel) no longer terminates abnormally. Note, however, thatnetstat
will display the following warning message when invoked with the-s
option:netstat: no support for `AF INET (sctp)' on this system.
- The
nohide
export option is no longer required on referral exports (i.e. exports that specify a referral server). For more information on bound mounts, refer toman 5 exports
. - The priority callouts of
dm-multipath
are now statically compiled and copied onto the memory ofmultipathd
. As such,multipathd
no longer requires access to the root file system in order to execute priority callouts.This fixes a problem that occurred when runningdm-multipath
on devices containing the root file system, which caused such devices to freeze during fibre-channel path faults. parted
can now understand and correctly print out Xen Virtual Device (XVD) partition labels. This allows paravirtualized guests to use theparted
utility. It is no longer necessary to runparted
withindom0
to configure disk partitions on paravirtualized guests.- When upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 via Red Hat Network, you no longer need to manually import the redhat-beta key prior to upgrading.
- Systems using the AMD 8132 or HT 1000 chipsets no longer need the
pci=nommconf
kernel parameter.Note that the system will still restrict such bridges to using the PortIO CF8/CFC mechanism. However, bridges (including those on the same platform) that respond correctly toMMCONFIG
cycles will useMMCONFIG
, provided that the platform's BIOS correctly supportsMMCONFIG
.However, if you are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on an HP DC7800, the kernel parameter,pci=nommconf
, is still needed. This is because the HP DC7800 is not yet included in theMMCONF
blacklist. - Previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on HP BL860c blade systems could hang during the IP information request stage of installation. When this occurred, you were required to reboot and perform the installation with Ethernet autonegotiation disabled.Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 includes a fix for this issue.
- Gemalto 64K smart cards now use Chip/Smart Card Interface Devices-compliant (CCID-compliant) readers. Previously, this smart card used the built-in e-gate reader, which essentially meant that the card and reader were being inserted at the same time. As a result,
coolkey
did not consistently recognize Gemalto 64K smart cards.With this update,coolkey
now works correctly with Gemalto 64k smart cards.
8.2. x86-64 Architectures
- Systems equipped with Intel graphics cards that have the
XD
(execute disable) option disabled no longer crash upon exiting an X session. - Using the
divider=
command-line argument now works properly on this architecture. - The Calgary IOMMU chip is now supported by default. As such, the kernel command line option
iommu=calgary
to enable support for this chip is no longer necessary.
8.3. ia64 Architecture
- Kernel modules such as
e1000
andqla2xxx
can now be unloaded while running the virtualized kernel. As such, you no longer need to reboot the system after installing third-party drivers. - The X server no longer attempts to utilize memory regions incompatible to its needs. This fixes a bug that previously caused a Machine Check Abort (MCA) on some Itanium systems.
- A machine check error (which previously resulted in a
dom0
reboot) no longer occurs when you attempt to run the virtualized kernel on systems that use the P600 SmartArray controller.
9. Known Issues
9.1. All Architectures
- A bug in the updated
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
file prevents the creation of persistent names for tape devices with numbers higher than 9 in their names. For example, a persistent name will not be created for a tape device with a name ofnst12
.To work around this, add an asterisk (*) after each occurrence of the stringnst[0-9]
in/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
. - The
smartctl
tool cannot properly read SMART parameters from SATA devices. - A bug in previous versions of
openmpi
andlam
may prevent you from upgrading these packages. This bug manifests in the following error (when attempting to upgradeopenmpi
orlam
:error: %preun(openmpi-[version]) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
As such, you need to manually remove older versions ofopenmpi
andlam
in order to install their latest versions. To do so, use the followingrpm
command:rpm -qa | grep '^openmpi-\|^lam-' | xargs rpm -e --noscripts --allmatches
- Some controller names (specifically, newer ones) printed by the
cciss
driver are incorrect, and will not match correctly with the names listed in the HP documentation. Thecciss
firmware, however, will be able to correctly print the names of each attached controller at boot-time. - When using
dm-multipath
, iffeatures "1 queue_if_no_path"
is specified in/etc/multipath.conf
then any process that issues I/O will hang until one or more paths are restored.To avoid this, setno_path_retry [N]
in/etc/multipath.conf
(where[N]
is the number of times the system should retry a path). When you do, remove thefeatures "1 queue_if_no_path"
option from/etc/multipath.conf
as well. - Enabling multiple installed versions of the same kernel module is not supported. In addition to this, a bug in the way kernel module versions are parsed can sometimes result in enabling an older version of the same kernel module.Red Hat recommends that when you install a newer version of an installed kernel module, you should delete the older one first.
- Executing
kdump
on an IBM Bladecenter QS21 or QS22 configured with NFS root will fail. To avoid this, specify an NFS dump target in/etc/kdump.conf
. - IBM T60 laptops will power off completely when suspended and plugged into a docking station. To avoid this, boot the system with the argument
acpi_sleep=s3_bios
. - The QLogic iSCSI Expansion Card for the IBM Bladecenter provides both ethernet and iSCSI functions. Some parts on the card are shared by both functions. However, the current
qla3xxx
andqla4xxx
drivers support ethernet and iSCSI functions individually. Both drivers do not support the use of ethernet and iSCSI functions simultaneously.Because of this limitation, successive resets (via consecutiveifdown
/ifup
commands) may hang the device. To avoid this, allow a 10-second interval after anifup
before issuing anifdown
. Also, allow the same 10-second interval after anifdown
before issuing anifup
. This interval allows ample time to stabilize and re-initialize all functions when anifup
is issued. - Laptops equipped with the Cisco Aironet MPI-350 wireless may hang trying to get a DHCP address during any network-based installation using the wired ethernet port.To work around this, use local media for your installation. Alternatively, you can disable the wireless card in the laptop BIOS prior to installation (you can re-enable the wireless card after completing the installation).
- Boot-time logging to
/var/log/boot.log
is not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2. - The system may not successfully reboot into a
kexec
/kdump
kernel if X is running and using a driver other than vesa. This problem only exists with ATI Rage XL graphics chipsets.If X is running on a system equipped with ATI Rage XL, ensure that it is using the vesa driver in order to successfully reboot into akexec
/kdump
kernel. - When using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on a machine with an nVidia CK804 chipset installed, the following kernel messages may appear:
kernel: assign_interrupt_mode Found MSI capability kernel: pcie_portdrv_probe->Dev[005d:10de] has invalid IRQ. Check vendor BIOS
These messages indicate that certain PCI-E ports are not requesting IRQs. They do not, however, affect the operation of the machine in any way. - Removable storage devices (such as CDs and DVDs) do not automatically mount when you are logged in as root. As such, you will need to manually mount the device through the graphical file manager.Alternatively, you can run the following command to mount a device to
/media
:mount /dev/[device name] /media
- When a LUN is deleted on a configured storage system, the change is not reflected on the host. In such cases,
lvm
commands will hang indefinitely whendm-multipath
is used, as the LUN has now become stale.To work around this, delete all device andmpath
link entries in/etc/lvm/.cache
specific to the stale LUN.To find out what these entries are, run the following command:ls -l /dev/mpath | grep [stale LUN]
For example, if[stale LUN]
is 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00, the following results may appear:lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 -> ../dm-4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1 -> ../dm-5
This means that 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 is mapped to twompath
links:dm-4
anddm-5
.As such, the following lines should be deleted from/etc/lvm/.cache
:/dev/dm-4 /dev/dm-5 /dev/mapper/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 /dev/mapper/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1 /dev/mpath/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 /dev/mpath/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1
- Running the
multipath
command with the-ll
option can cause the command to hang if one of the paths is on a blocking device. Note that the driver does not fail a request after some time if the device does not respond.This is caused by the cleanup code, which waits until the path checker request either completes or fails. To display the currentmultipath
state without hanging the command, usemultipath -l
instead. - The system may not successfully reboot into a
kexec
/kdump
kernel if X is running and using a driver other than vesa. This problem only exists with ATI Rage XL graphics chipsets.If X is running on a system equipped with ATI Rage XL, ensure that it is using the vesa driver in order to successfully reboot into akexec
/kdump
kernel. - Upgrading
pm-utils
from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta version ofpm-utils
will fail, resulting in the following error:error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/pm/sleep.d: cpio: rename
To prevent this from occurring, delete the/etc/pm/sleep.d/
directory prior to upgrading. If/etc/pm/sleep.d
contains any files, move those files to/etc/pm/hooks/
. - Hardware testing for the Mellanox MT25204 has revealed that an internal error occurs under certain high-load conditions. When the
ib_mthca
driver reports a catastrophic error on this hardware, it is usually related to an insufficient completion queue depth relative to the number of outstanding work requests generated by the user application.Although the driver will reset the hardware and recover from such an event, all existing connections at the time of the error will be lost. This generally results in a segmentation fault in the user application. Further, ifopensm
is running at the time the error occurs, then you need to manually restart it in order to resume proper operation. - Attempting to run
sniff
may result in an error. This is because some required packages are not installed withdogtail
.To prevent this from occurring, install the following packages manually:- librsvg2
- ghostscript-fonts
- pygtk2-libglade
- It is not possible to configure
layer 2
throughsystem-config-network-gui
.
9.2. x86 Architectures
- When running the bare-metal (non-Virtualized) kernel, the X server may not be able to retrieve
EDID
information from the monitor. When this occurs, the graphics driver will be unable to display resolutions highers than 800x600.To work around this, add the following line to theServerLayout
section of/etc/X11/xorg.conf
:Option "Int10Backend" "x86emu"
9.3. x86-64 Architectures
- Some machines that use NVIDIA graphics cards may display corrupted graphics or fonts when using the graphical installer or during a graphical login. To work around this, switch to a virtual console and back to the original X host.
9.4. PowerPC Architectures
- When using Alt-SysRq-W to debug, the following warning message will appear:
Badness in smp_call_function at arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:223
Afterwards, the system will also warn that it will hang. This message should be ignored as it will not cause the system to hang.
9.5. s390x Architectures
- When running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on a z/VM that has more than 2GB of guest storage defined, invalid data can be read from and written to any FCP and OSA device attached in QDIO mode with the Queued-I/O assist (QIOASSIST) option enabled. If your system has any such devices attached, Red Hat recommends that you download and install the corresponding z/VM Program Temporary Fix (PTF) from the following link:
- The IBM System z does not provide a traditional Unix-style physical console. As such, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 for the IBM System z does not support the firstboot functionality during initial program load.To properly initialize setup for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on the IBM System z, run the following commands after installation:
/usr/bin/setup
— provided by thesetuptool
package./usr/bin/rhn_register
— provided by therhn-setup
package.
- It is not possible to directly read and convert a z/VM dump into a file. Instead, you should first copy the dump from the z/VM reader into a Linux file system using
vmur
and convert the dump into a Linux-readable file usingvmconvert
.
9.6. ia64 Architecture
- Some Itanium systems cannot properly produce console output from the
kexec
purgatory
code. This code contains instructions for backing up the first 640k of memory after a crash.Whilepurgatory
console output can be useful in diagnosing problems, it is not needed forkdump
to properly function. As such, if your Itanium system resets during akdump
operation, disable console output inpurgatory
by adding--noio
to theKEXEC_ARGS
variable in/etc/sysconfig/kdump
.

A high-performance mail server with IMAP, POP3, NNTP and SIEVE support
- Description:
The cyrus-imapd package contains the core of the Cyrus IMAP server. It is a scaleable enterprise mail system designed for use from small to large enterprise environments using standards-based internet mail technologies. A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed" servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in and have no system account on the server. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP server. All user access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3 or KPOP protocols. It also includes support for virtual domains, NNTP, mailbox annotations, and much more. The private mailbox database design gives the server large advantages in efficiency, scalability and administratability. Multiple concurrent read/write connections to the same mailbox are permitted. The server supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox hierarchies. The Cyrus IMAP server supports the IMAP4rev1 protocol described in RFC 3501. IMAP4rev1 has been approved as a proposed standard. It supports any authentication mechanism available from the SASL library, imaps/pop3s/nntps (IMAP/POP3/NNTP encrypted using SSL and TLSv1) can be used for security. The server supports single instance store where possible when an email message is addressed to multiple recipients, SIEVE provides server side email filtering.

Jakarta Commons Collections Package
- Description:
The introduction of the Collections API by Sun in JDK 1.2 has been a boon to quick and effective Java programming. Ready access to powerful data structures has accelerated development by reducing the need for custom container classes around each core object. Most Java2 APIs are significantly easier to use because of the Collections API. However, there are certain holes left unfilled by Sun's implementations, and the Jakarta-Commons Collections Component strives to fulfill them. Among the features of this package are: - special-purpose implementations of Lists and Maps for fast access - adapter classes from Java1-style containers (arrays, enumerations) to Java2-style collections. - methods to test or create typical set-theory properties of collections such as union, intersection, and closure.

The LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) programming environment.
- Description:
LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an Message-Passing Interface (MPI) programming environment and development system for heterogeneous computers on a network. With LAM/MPI, a dedicated cluster or an existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel computer to solve one problem. LAM/MPI is considered to be "cluster friendly" because it offers daemon-based process startup/control as well as fast client-to-client message passing protocols. LAM/MPI can use TCP/IP and/or shared memory for message passing (different RPMs are supplied for this—see the main LAM website at http://www.mpi.nd.edu/lam/ for details).< LAM features a full implementation of MPI version 1 (with the exception that LAM does not support cancelling of sends), and much of version 2. Compliant applications are source code portable between LAM and any other implementation of MPI. In addition to meeting the standard, LAM/MPI offers extensive monitoring capabilities to support debugging. Monitoring happens on two levels: On one level, LAM/MPI has the hooks to allow a snapshot of a process and message status to be taken at any time during an application run. The status includes all aspects of synchronization plus datatype map/signature, communicator group membership and message contents (see the XMPI application on the main LAM website). On the second level, the MPI library can produce a cumulative record of communication, which can be visualized either at runtime or post-mortem.

- Summary:
Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules.
- Description:
Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd) images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem. In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program creates such a ramdisk using information found in the /etc/modules.conf file.

The OpenSSH implementation of SSH protocol versions 1 and 2
- Description:
SSH (Secure SHell) is a program for logging into and executing commands on a remote machine. SSH is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing it up to date in terms of security and features, as well as removing all patented algorithms to separate libraries. This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and server. To make this package useful, you should also install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both.

Features include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines.

TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as output. Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very user-friendly. The output format needn't to be DVI, but also PDF, when using pdflatex or similar tools. Install tetex if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. Consider to install tetex-latex (a higher level formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX). Unless you are an expert at using TeX, you should also install the tetex-doc package, which includes the documentation for TeX.
