Bug Fix
- BZ#845246
- Previously, the kpartx utility was not called with the "-p p" option in the netfs init script. Consequently, inconsistent partition mappings occurred. This bug has been fixed and kpartx is now called as expected.
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
