此文件詳述了 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 的發行公告。
1. Release Notes Updates
This section contains information about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 that did not make it into the Release Notes included in the distribution.
1.1. Feature Updates
- audit(稽核)更新
- The audit packages contain user-space utilities for storing and searching the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.These updated packages upgrade the auditd daemon and its utilities to the newer upstream version 1.7.7, which provides the following enhancements over the previous version:
- the auditctl program, which is used to control the behavior of the audit subsystem, now supports multiple keys in the audit rules.
- a new utility, ausyscall, which is used to cross-reference syscall name and number information, is now provided in these updated packages.
- the aureport program has been enhanced to provide reports about keys it sees in audit events.
- event log parsing for the ausearch and aureport programs has been improved.
- a sample STIG rules file, named "stig.rules", is newly provided in these updated packages. This file contains the auditctl rules which are loaded whenever the audit daemon is started by init scripts.
In addition to the listed enhancements, these updated audit packages also include a new feature to allow a server to aggregate the logs of remote systems. The following instructions can be followed to enable this feature:- The audispd-plugins package should be installed on all clients (but need not be installed on the server), and the parameters for "remote_server" and "port" should be set in the /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf configuration file.
- On the server, which aggregates the logs, the "tcp_listen_port" parameter in the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file must be set to the same port number as the clients.
- Because the auditd daemon is protected by SELinux, semanage (the SELinux policy management tool) must also have the same port listed in its database. If the server and client machines had all been configured to use port 1000, for example, then running this command would accomplish this:
semanage port -a -t audit_port_t -p tcp 1000
- The final step in configuring remote log aggregation is to edit the /etc/hosts.allow configuration file to inform tcp_wrappers which machines or subnets the auditd daemon should allow connections from.
- wpa_supplicant re-base
- wpa_supplicant has been re-based to the latest upstream stable version 0.5.10 and include backported fixes for a number of issues that may affect users of wireless drivers that depend on the kernel's mac80211 wireless stack. Specific fixes and enhancements include:
- Support for a D-Bus control interface has been added. D-Bus is a popular lightweight Inter-Process Communication mechanism, and the addition of this control interface to wpa_supplicant allows applications (like NetworkManager) to more reliably control the supplicant.
- Cisco Aironet 340/350 wireless cards were not able to successfully connect to 802.1x-enabled wireless networks, often used in security sensitive organizations. During the connection process at the 4-Way WPA handshake stage, sending encryption keys to the driver would clear the wireless card firmware's authentication state. With this update, the supplicant uses an alternate method of supplying encryption keys to the kernel driver, allowing authentication state to be preserved in the Aironet firmware and 802.1x connections to succeed.
- Kernel drivers utilizing the new mac80211 wireless stack were sometimes unable to connect to wireless networks, either failing to find the requested network, or prematurely ending communication with the wireless access point during the connection process. Some drivers were prone to reporting multiple disconnection events during the association process, confusing the supplicant and causing long timeouts. The supplicant also did not sufficiently instruct the driver to disconnect when switching access points. This update fixes these issues and, in conjunction with kernel driver updates, allow more wireless hardware to successfully connect to wireless networks.
- NetworkManager re-base
- NetworkManager has been updated to version 0.7.0. This update provides the following fixes and enhancements:
- NetworkManager would not display a LEAP password, even when the user selected the "show password" option. This has been fixed through a rebase to NetworkManager 0.7.
- During the beta phase, a version of NetworkManager was unable to automatically start network interfaces for which "ONBOOT=no" was present in the ifcfg file. NetworkManager now ignores this value unless "NM_RESPECT_ONBOOT=yes" is also present.
- a NetworkManager plug-in was named for its upstream repository. This could cause end-users to mistake the plug-in for an un-supported addition to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This plug-in has been renamed to "ifcfg-rh".
- with this update, support has been added to NetworkManager for wired 802.1x authentication. However, after creating an 802.1x-enabled wired connection in the NetworkManager connection editor, it may be necessary to log out, then log back in before the connection can be used from the NetworkManager applet menu.
- NetworkManager attempted to set a hostname, but only after X had already done so. The user could not then open new windows because the authority files had been set by X with a different hostname. NetworkManager no longer sets hostnames.
- an update for NetworkManager that was available in the beta phase would change the run level enablement of the package during installation, and thus prevent NetworkManager from starting. NetworkManager no longer changes run level enablements during installation.
- on a system with more than one network adapter, network keys saved by the user while connecting with one adapter would not be available when the user attempted to connect with the other adapter. NetworkManager can now retrieve and use network keys saved for a different adapter on the same network.
- previously, NetworkManager would not always prompt the user for a new network key if the protocol or key of a wireless network changed. Although NetworkManager would wait for a new key, it would not always open a dialog box and allow the user to provide one. NetworkManager will now open a dialog box when needed.
- several bug fixes and enhancements for NetworkManager were available upstream. NetworkManager has been rebased to version 0.7 to incorporate these improvements, including mobile broadband functionality, Phase2 WPA support, and static IP functionality.
- NetworkManager would would cause a segmentation fault when resuming a session. This was caused by the HAL dropping privileges before connecting to D-Bus, meaning that the HAL could not send signals to NetworkManager. NetworkManager now explicitly permits signals from the HAL.
- sometimes, X would freeze if the NetworkManager menu and a keyring manager window were open at the same time. This updated package includes a patch from upstream that prevents this behavior.
- if NetworkManager requires a network key from the user, it will open a pop-up window. However, the applet previously could not steal focus from metacity and would remain in the background. The window was therefore not obvious to the user. The applet now opens in the foreground, alerting the user to take action.
- when resuming, NetworkManager could sometimes re-establish a wireless connection, but not a route. A fix for this problem from upstream has been included in this update.
- NetworkManager did not previously support Cisco Airo Wi-Fi cards, as these devices did not respond to NetworkManager's attempts to detect them. NetworkManager can now detect and use these cards.
- the NetworkManager applet would wake up and redraw its icon once per second, even when NetworkManager was not active. Now, the applet will not wake up unless NetworkManager is running.
- NetworkManager 0.7 connects faster than libnotify can provide a notification bubble. When this happens, the bubble will appear at the top left corner of the screen, rather than under the taskbar. NetworkManager notification bubbles are now delayed for a few seconds, allowing libnotify to react.
- dbus-glib re-base
- The dbus-glib integration library has been re-based to version 0.73.8 This update provides support to updated versions of NetworkManager and also implements the following bugfix and enhancements
- cleanup of the DBusGProxy objects treated pending remote method calls incorrectly and may have resulted in freeing invalid memory. Consequently, processes using DBusGProxy objects may have crashed when the DBusGProxy object was freed. With this update dbus-glib correctly handles the destruction of DBusGProxy objects, resolving this issue.
- two new function calls,
dbus_g_proxy_call_with_timeoutanddbus_g_proxy_begin_call_with_timeout, have been added to dbus-glib providing the ability to specify a timeout when making a request to a remote service. - dbus-binding-tool now ignores namespaced Extensible Markup Language (XML) nodes when processing introspection definition files.
- sudo 同步更新
- sudo 已被同步更新為上游版本 1.6.9。此版本的 sudo 現在支援了 LDAP,並且允許 sub-tree 搜尋而不只是 sudo 權限的基本的搜尋(例如只有 tree-level)。這能允許管理員將 sudo 權限分類於一個樹中,並使用戶權限更易為管理。
注意
theenv_resetsudoers option from newer sudo will reset the PATH environment variable. This is different from the behaviour in sudo-1.9.8. To keep the old behaviour simply add PATH variable into env_keep insudoersfile. - LVM-based Cluster mirroring
- With this update, the ability to create LVM mirrors in a cluster environment (i.e. while using CLVM) is now available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux It provides for simultaneous access from multiple cluster machines, like when using a cluster-aware file system. This solution is compatible with existing single-machine mirrors. When switching a mirrored logical volume between single-machine and cluster-aware, no resynchronization is necessary.
1.2. Resolved Issues
system-config-networkrequires the fonts provided withxorg-x11-fonts-Type1in order to display. However, this fonts package was not previously set as a dependency forsystem-config-networkand it was therefore possible (for example, in the case of a minimal installation) forsystem-config-networkto be present on a system and yet unable to function because these fonts were missing. This update setsxorg-x11-fonts-Type1as a dependency forsystem-config-networkto ensure that these fonts will be available and thatsystem-config-networkwill display correctly.- In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, a 64-bit version of httpd was included in addition to the existing 32-bit httpd in the PowerPC architecture. If a user installed both versions, an httpd conflict would occur, preventing httpd from functioning properly.To resolve this issue, the 64-bit version of httpd has been removed from this release. Any systems with the previous 64-bit version of httpd installed should remove the package before upgrade.
1.3. Driver Updates
- the SCSI device handler infrastructure (
scsi_dh) has been updated, providing added support for LSI RDAC SCSI based storage devices. - the tg3 driver for Broadcom Tigon3 ethernet devices has been updated to version 3.93. This applies several upstream changes for new hardware. However, the 5785 hardware is not fully supported. This device may be detected by the driver, but lack of PHY support may cause these chips to not function correctly and may require the user disable any on-board 5785 cards in the system BIOS.
scsi-target-utilsnow features iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER), which is based on the Linux Target (tgt) framework. iSER is included in this release as a Technology Preview, and provides capabilities for both single and multiple portals on different subnets. Note, however, that there are known bugs with using multiple portals on the same subnet.To set up an iSER target component, install thescsi-target-utilsandlibibverbs-develpackages. The corresponding library package for your system's Infiniband hardware is also required. For example, in HCAs that use thecxgb3driver thelibcxgb3package is needed, and for HCAs using themthcadriver thelibmthcapackage is need.- The MPT Fusion driver has been updated to version 3.04.06, providing the following bugfixes and enhancements:
- Previously, the MPT Fusion driver always allocated I/O resources, even if they were not required, which may have caused issues in low resource environments. With this update, the driver now uses the pci_enable_device_mem and pci_enable_device functions to differentiate the resource allocations.
- Previously, the kernel would panic when the mptsas and mptcl modules were loaded in parallel. With this update, this issue has been resolved.
- Previously, system power state changes (such as hibernation and standby) were not functioning correctly with 106XE controllers. With this update, the driver has been modified to free and allocate resources in power management entry points.
1.4. Virtualization
- IDE/ATA 驅動程式堆疊中有項會造成系統無法使用
kernel-xen來進入kdump環境的錯誤已被修正。在先前的發行版中,若系統在 IDE 裝置執行 I/O 時(並且 IDE 裝置是被一個libata以外的裝置驅動程式所控制時)遇上 kernel panic 的情況下,這個問題就會產生。 - A softlockup may have occurred when creating a guest with a large amount of memory. Consequently, a call trace of the error was displayed on both the dom0 and the other guest. In this update, this issue has been resolved.
- On systems with large amounts of memory (ie 256GB or more), setting up the dom0 could exhaust the hypervisor memory heap. To work around this, the xenheap and dom0_size command line arguments had to be set to valid values for the system. In this update, the hypervisor has been updated to automatically set these values to a default of 32GB, which resolves this issue.
- Due to technical problems with passing TX checksum offload information between paravirtual domains, the use of TX checksum offload in conjunction with NAT for traffic originating from another domain is not supported. TX checksum offload can be used together with NAT as long as the NAT rule is applied in the domain where the traffic originates.Note that this also applies to fully virtualised domains using paravirtual network drivers. Fully virtualised domains using fully virtualised drivers are not affected as they do not support TX checksum offload at all.
1.5. Known Issues
- Previous versions of the 5.3 Release Notes stated that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM unit on Dell PowerEdge R905 servers does not work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This note was included by error, and does not apply to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
- kdump now serializes drive creation registration with the rest of the kdump process. Consequently, kdump may hang waiting for IDE drives to be initialized. In these cases, it is recommended that IDE disks not be used with kdump.
- Improvements have been made to the 'nv' driver, enhancing suspend and resume support on some systems equipped with nVidia GeForce 8000 and 9000 series devices. Due to technical limitations, this will not enable suspend/resume on all hardware.
- pirut sorts some package lists using the textual representation of a package, which is inconsistent with the textual representation method used in yum. As such, some package lists (e.g. Optional Packages list) in pirut may not display names in alphabetical order.
- The Hypervisor outputs messages regarding attempts by any guest to write to an MSR. Such messages contain the statement
Domain attempted WRMSR. These messages can be safely ignored; furthermore, they are rate limited and should pose no performance risk. - When upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Workstation to 5 Server, OpenOffice will no longer work correctly with SELinux. This is because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version of OpenOffice is built using an incorrect library. As a result, SELinux will prevent OpenOffice from accessing any shared libraries, causing OpenOffice to fail.To work around this, update the SELinux context to allow OpenOffice to access shared libraries. To do so, run the following commands:
semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/ooo-1.1(/.*)?'semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib64/ooo-1.1(/.*)?'restorecon -Rv /usr/lib/ooo-1.19restorecon -Rv /usr/lib64/ooo-1.19Alternatively, you can also upgrade your OpenOffice to a correct version compatible with SELinux in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. You can do this by subscribing to the "Productivity App" child channel in Red Hat Network and running the following command:yum install openoffice-{base,calc,draw,emailmerge,graphicfilter,headless,impress,javafilter,math,pyuno,writer,xsltfilter} - If jumbo frames are enabled on your system, a kernel panic will occur if you attempt to unload the
bnx2module. - Red Hat advises that you avoid removing a block device from a guest while the device is in use. Doing so causes Xend to lose domain information for the guest.
- Accessing the right-click menu of the NetworkManager GNOME applet may cause the GNOME Keyring Unlock dialog to appear. When this occurs, no XII applications can receive keyboard or mouse input.To recover from this, switch to a virtual terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1. Log in as the affected user (or root) and run
killall -9 nm-applet. Then, switch back to X11 using Ctrl+Alt+F7. Your system should be able to receive keyboard and mouse input, although Red Hat recommends that you logout and login again to allow the system to fully recover. - On Altix systems with an ATI FireMV graphics adapter, the GUI console may not display on one of the VGA connectors. To workaround this issue, switch to using the other VGA connector on the dongle.
- It has been determined that 1024 byte objects in kernel slab may be lost when a call to pipe() fails. The problem occurs because pipe() allocates pipe files, and then tries to get free file descriptors for them. If the process is out of file descriptors, pipe() fails, but it does not clean up properly. A fix for this problem is planned for a forthcoming 5.3 kernel update.To workaround this issue, ensure that the process calling do_pipe has adequate file descriptors allocated.This issue has been observed with multipathd in particular. To avoid the problem with multipathd, calculate the number of file descriptors (FDs) required using the formula: "FDs = Number of Paths + 32". If the result is greater than the default value of 1024, then the max_fds value in the defaults section of multipath.conf should be set to the previously calculated value. For example, if there are 255 LUNs with 8 paths each, the line to be added to the defaults section of multipath.conf would be:
max_fds 2072
- The
libcmpiutil-develpackage depends ontog-pegasus-devel, which for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop product is only available from the Workstation option. Therefore, any attempt to install thelibcmpiutil-develpackage on a system that does not have a Subscription including the Workstation option or is not subscribed to the Workstation channel on the Red Hat Network, will fail with an unresolved dependency error. - It is possible in rare circumstances, for
makedumpfileto produce erroneous results but not have them reported. This is due to the fact thatmakedumpfileprocesses its output data through a pipeline consisting of several stages. Ifmakedumpfilefails, the other stages will still succeed, effectively masking the failure. Should a vmcore appear corrupt, and makedumpfile is in use, it is recommended that the core be recorded without makedumpfile and a bug be reported. - An issue may be encountered when using system-config-cluster to configure a Postgres 8 resource agent, resulting in the postgresql service failing to start. To include a Postgres resource agent in your cluster, please check the man page for the agent, and edit the
cluster.conffile in an editor, then update the cluster with the new configuration file using the appropriate cman_tool command. - Due to outstanding driver issues with hardware encryption acceleration, users of Intel WiFi Link 4965, 5100, 5150, 5300, and 5350 wireless cards are advised to disable hardware accelerated encryption using module parameters. Failure to do so may result in the inability to connect to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protected wireless networks after connecting to WiFi Protected Access (WPA) protected wireless networks.To do so, add the following options to
/etc/modprobe.conf:alias wlan0 iwlagn options iwlagn swcrypto50=1 swcrypto=1
(where wlan0 is the default interface name of the first Intel WiFi Link device) - kdump now restarts when CPUs or DIMMs are hot-added to a system. If multiple items are added at the same time, several sequential restarts may be encountered. This behavior is intentional, as it minimizes the time-frame where a crash may occur while memory or processors are not being tracked by kdump.
1.6. Technology Previews
- Software based Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
- The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) driver (fcoe.ko), along with libfc, provides the ability to run FCoE over a standard Ethernet card. This capability is provided as a technical preview in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.To enable this feature, you must login by writing the network interface name to the
/sys/module/fcoe/parameters/createfile, for example:echo eth6 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create
To logout, write the network interface name to the/sys/module/fcoe/parameters/destroyfile, for example:echo eth6 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/destroy
For further information on software based FCoE refer to: http://www.open-fcoe.org/openfc/wiki/index.php/FCoE_Initiator_Quickstart.Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 在三個特定的硬體架構上提供了完整的 FCoE 支援。這些架構為:Ciscofnic驅動程式、Emulexlpfc驅動程式,以及 Qlogicqla2xx驅動程式。 - iSER Support
- iSER support, allowing for block storage transfer across a network, has been added to the
scsi-target-utilspackage as a Technology Preview. In this release, single portal and multiple portals on different subnets are supported. There are known bugs when using multiple portals on the same subnet.To set up the iSER target component install the scsi-target-utils and libibverbs-devel RPM. The library package for the InfiniBand hardware that is being used is also required. For example: host channel adapters that use thecxgb3driver thelibcxgb3package is needed, and for host channel adapters using themthcadriver thelibmthcapackage is needed.There is also a known issue relating to connection timeouts in some situations. Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla #470627 for more information on this issue.
2. Installation-Related Notes
This section includes information specific to Anaconda and the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
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 5.3.
Note: upgrading from beta releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 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 5.3, 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
- Anaconda 的 文字模式 安裝程序現在提供了切換至 Virtual Network Computing(VNC)的選項以便完成安裝。
- 建立或使用加密的軟體 RAID 成員磁碟(例如
software RAID分割區)並不被支援。不過,建立加密的軟體 RAID 陣列(例如/dev/md0)則被支援。 - The NFS default for RHEL5 is "locking". Therefore, to mount nfs shares from the %post section of anaconda, use the
mount -o nolock,udpcommand to start the locking daemon before using nfs to mount shares. - 當在一部配置了 iBFT 網路裝置的系統上經由 CD 光碟片或 DVD 光碟片來進行安裝時,除非網路作業經過配置,不然 Anaconda 不會包含任何 iBFT 配置的儲存裝置。若要在安裝時啟用網路作業,請在安裝啟動提示中使用
linux updates=http://[any]這項指令。請注意,[any]可以任何 URL 來取代。若您的系統需要靜態 IP 配置的話,請使用linux updates=http://[any] ip=[IP address] netmask=[netmask] dns=[dns]這項指令。 - 當在一個完整虛擬化的客座端上安裝 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 時,請勿使用
kernel-xenkernel。在完整虛擬化的客座端上使用這個 kernel 可能會造成系統停滯。當您正在一個完整虛擬化的客座端上安裝 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 時,若您使用了一組安裝號碼(Installation Number)的話,請記得在安裝時反選Virtualization套件群組。Virtualization套件群組選項會安裝kernel-xenkernel。請注意半虛擬化的客座不會被此問題影響。半虛擬化的客座總是使用kernel-xen核心。 - 當您由 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 升級至 5.2 時,若您正在使用虛擬化的核心的話,您必須在升級完成過後重新啟動系統。請記得用更新後的虛擬化核心來重新啟動電腦。Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 和 5.2 的 hypervisor 與 ABI 並不相容。若您在升級之後不使用更新過的虛擬核心重新啟動的話,升級後的虛擬化 RPM 便不會與執行中的 kernel 匹配。
- 當由 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 升級至 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 或更新版本時,
gcc4可能會造成升級失敗。正因如此,您必須在進行升級前手動式地將gcc4套件移除掉。 firstboot這個語言插件已被移除,因為當選擇了新語言時,它無法正確並完整地將系統重新配置。- 當在進行安裝時 provisioning 客座端的時候,RHN tools for guests 這個選項將無法使用。當此情況發生時,系統將會需要額外的權利,和
dom0所使用的權利不同。若要避免耗費額外的權利在客座端上,請在嘗將系統試註冊至 Red Hat Network 前手動式地安裝rhn-virtualization-common套件。 - 在一部含有多重網路介面的系統上安裝 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 並手動式地指定 IPv6 位址可能會造成網路作業設定上含有部份的錯誤。當此情況發生時,您的 IPv6 設定將不會顯示在已安裝的系統上。若要解決此問題,請將
/etc/sysconfig/network中的NETWORKING_IPV6設為yes。然後請透過使用service network restart指令來重新啟動您的網路連線。 - 若您的系統已安裝了
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.2-5.el5_1.2(或是較早的版本),您將無法透過yum update來升級至 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3。若要解決此問題,請在執行yum update之前(透過使用yum update yum-rhn-plugin)將您的yum-rhn-plugin升級至最新版本。 - 先前,anaconda 無法存取超過 8 個 SmartArray 控制器。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。
- 由 OEM 所提供的驅動程式磁碟是個單獨的映像檔(*
.img),它包含了多重的驅動程式套件以及 kernel 模組。這些驅動程式會在進行安裝程序時被使用來支援 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 無法辨識的硬體。當這些驅動程式套件與 kernel 模組被安裝在系統上之後,它們便會被放置在 initrd RAM disk(initrd)中,如此一來當系統啟動時,它們便會被載入。在此發行版中,安裝程序可基於驅動程式磁碟的檔案系統標籤來自動地偵測它們的存在性,並在進行安裝時使用該磁碟的內容。此特性可透過安裝指令列選項dlabel=on來進行控制,該選項可啟用自動搜尋。此發行版的預設值為dlabel=on。所有標記為OEMDRV的區塊裝置都會被檢查並且驅動程式會以它們被偵測的順序來由這些裝置被載入。 - 包含
vfat檔案系統的現有已加密區塊裝置在分割區介面中將會顯示為foreign類型;也就是說這些裝置不會在系統啟動時被自動掛載。若要確認這類型的裝置可自動地被掛載,請為它們在/etc/fstab中附加適當的項目。若要取得相關指南,請參閱man fstab。
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.除此之外,執行使用大量記憶體的工作時,只擁有 1GB 記憶體的 PowerPC 機器可能會遇到顯著的效能問題。要讓一部 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 系統順利地執行此類工作,建議您安裝 4 GB 的記憶體。這能確保系統的實際分頁數和安裝 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5(或較舊版本)的 PowerPC 機器(使用 512 MB 的記憶體)相同。
2.3. s390x Architectures
anaconda現在已支援 OSA Express3 cards 的 CHPID 上的兩個通訊埠。安裝程式將會在安裝的初始階段提示通訊埠的號碼。通訊埠所提供的值也會影響已安裝的網路介面啟動 script。當通訊埠 1 被選擇時,portno=1這個值會被新增至ifcfg-eth*檔案的 OPTIONS 參數。注意
當在 z/VM 下進行安裝時,您可新增PORTNO=0(以使用 port 0)或PORTNO=1(以使用 port 1)至 CMS 配置檔案來避免被提示模式。- 在一部含有 DASD 區塊裝置並且裝置上含有 Linux 或是非 Linux 檔案系統的機器上進行安裝時,安裝程式可能會停滯。若此狀況發生的話,您將需要清出您想使用的 DASD 裝置上所有現有的分割區並重新啟動安裝程式。
2.4. ia64 Architecture
- If your system only has 512MB of RAM, attempting to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 may fail. To prevent this, perform a base installation first and install all other packages after the installation finishes.
- Using
yumto install packages from the32-bit Compatibility Layerdisc 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
一旦 Red Hat GPG 金鑰被匯入了之後,您就能夠使用yum來透過32-bit Compatibility Layer光碟片來進行套件安裝。請注意,當由此光碟進行安裝時,我們強烈建議您使用yum而不要使用rpm以便確認基礎 OS 相依在安裝過程中有被指定。
3. Feature Updates
- 區塊裝置加密
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 包含了使用 Linux Unified Key Setup(LUKS)規格的區塊裝置加密上的支援。為裝置加密可保護區塊裝置上所有的資料以防止未經許可的存取,儘管該裝置已由一部系統上實體移除了。若要存取某個已加密裝置的內容,用戶必須要提供一組密碼或金鑰來進行驗證。如欲取得有關於設定磁碟加密的相關資訊,請參閱 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 安裝指南中第 28 個章節:http://redhat.com/docs/
- mac80211 802.11a/b/g WiFi protocol stack (mac80211)
- mac80211 堆疊(為先前的 devicescape/d80211 堆疊)現在屬於 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中一項受支援的功能。它能啟用 Intel® WiFi Link 4965 硬體的
iwlwifi 4965GN無線網路驅動程式,並允許特定的無線裝置連至任何的無線網路上。雖然 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中支援 mac80211 元件,不過該符號並未包含在 kernel 的符號白名單中。 - 全域檔案系統 2(Global File System 2,GFS2)
- GFS2 為 GFS 的升級版本。此更新套用了一些顯著的改善,這需要更改 on-disk 檔案系統的格式。GFS 檔案系統能透過使用
gfs2_convert工具來被轉換為 GFS2,該工具亦能相應地更新 GFS 檔案系統的 metadata。在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 中,GFS2 原本是個被提供來作為進行評估用的 kernel 模組。在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中,GFS2 現在已屬於 kernel 套件的一部分。若 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 的 GFS2 kernel 模組已被安裝的話,您必須將之移除才可在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中使用 GFS2。 - 驅動程式磁碟支援的改善
- 由 OEM 所提供的驅動程式磁碟是個單獨的映像檔(
*.img),它包含了多重的驅動程式 RPM 以及 kernel 模組。這些驅動程式會在進行安裝程序時被使用來支援無法辨識的硬體。這些 RPM 會被安裝在系統上並且被放置在 initrd 中,如此一來當機器重新啟動時,它們便會被支援。在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中,安裝程序可基於驅動程式磁碟的檔案系統標籤來自動地偵測它們的存在性,並在進行安裝時使用該磁碟的內容。此特性可透過安裝指令列選項dlabel=on來進行控制,該選項可啟用自動搜尋。所有含有OEMDRV檔案系統標籤的區塊裝置都會被檢查,並且驅動程式會由這些裝置,按照它們被遇上的順序來被載入。 - iSCSI Boot Firmware Table
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 現在已完整支援 iSCSI Boot Firmware Table(iBFT),它能讓您由 iSCSI 裝置開機。這項支援需要 iSCSI 磁碟(節點)已不再被標記為自動啟動;安裝的系統已不再回於進入 runlevel 3 或 5 時自動地連線並登入 iSCSI 磁碟。iSCSI 通常會被使用於 root 檔案系統,在此情況下,這項變更並不會造成任何改變因為 initrd 將會在進入 runlevel 之前便連至並登入至所需的 iSCSI 磁碟中。不過,若 iSCSI 磁碟需要被掛載於非 root 的目錄上(比方說
/home或/srv),那麼這項變更便會影響您,因為被安裝的系統將不會再自動地連至並登入至非使用於 root 檔案系統的 iSCSI 磁碟。您可能還是能使用掛載於非 root 目錄的 uSCSI 磁碟,不過這需要使用到下列其中一個解決方式:- 在不使用掛載於非 root 目錄上的 iSCSI 磁碟的情況下安裝系統,並在之後手動式地配置相關的磁碟與掛載點。
- 將已安裝的系統啟動至 runlevel 1 中,然後藉由使用下列指令(一個磁碟一次)來將任何不使用於 root 檔案系統的 iSCSI 磁碟標記為自動啟動:
iscsiadm -m node -T target-name -p ip:port -o update -n node.startup -v automatic
- rhythmbox
- rhythmbox 音效播放器已被更新至版本 0.11.6。此更新提供了使用專利的 GStreamer 插件的選項。
- lftp 同步更新
- lftp 已被同步更新至版本 3.7.1。這套用了幾項上游功能更新以及錯誤修正,包括:
- lftp 引用由
mirror --script所產生的 script 的方式含有安全性上的漏洞(這會造成未經許可的權限擴大),這項問題已被修正。 - 使用 lftp 以及
-c選項已不再會造成 lftp 當機。 - 當使用
sftp來進行傳輸時,lftp 已不再會損毀。
For more information on lftp updates applied in this release, refer to http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html. - TTY 輸入稽核
- TTY 輸入稽核現在已被支援。若有項程序被標記為需要進行 TTY 輸入稽核的話,那麼由 TTY 讀取的資料將會被進行稽核;這將會顯示在稽核紀錄中為
TTY類型。您可使用pam_tty_audit模組來標記一項程序(以及它的子程序)以進行 TTY 輸入稽核。如欲取得相關指南,請參閱man pam_tty_audit(8)。TTY 稽核紀錄包含了和被稽核之程序完全相同的鍵次。為了使資料解碼變得更容易,bash透過了使用USER_TTY紀錄類型來稽核了確切的指令列。The "TTY" audit records contain all data read by audited processes from the TTY. This includes data inserted into the input stream by theTIOCSTI ioctlsystem call. - SystemTap 同步更新
- SystemTap 已被同步更新為版本 0.7.2。此 SystemTap 更新介紹了幾個些微的改善以及幾項重大的功能。這些新功能包含:
- SystemTap 現在已支援 x86、x86-64 以及 PowerPC 架構上的符號偵測。這使得 SystemTap script 可將偵測放置在用戶空間應用程式中並共享函式庫。這使 SystemTap 現在已能夠在一些用戶空間應用程式上提供與 kernel 偵測相同等級的除錯程式偵測。比方說,若
coreutils-debuginfo已被安裝的話,您可透過使用/usr/share/doc/systemtap-版本/examples/general/callgraph.stp來印出一個ls指令的 callgraph,例如:stap para-callgraph.stp 'process("ls").function("*")' -c 'ls -l'為了降低 binary 和它的 debuginfo RPM 之間發生版本衝突上的可能性,Red Hat 建議您將SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH環境變數設為+:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build。SystemTap's support for symbolic probes also extends to markers placed into the kernel of this release. To use these markers, load thekernel-tracekernel module in/etc/rc.local(usingmodprobe kernel-trace). - SystemTap 也支援了遠端編譯服務。這能讓網路上一部單獨的電腦作為一部本地 SystemTap 客戶端的 debuginfo/compiler 伺服器。客戶端會使用 mDNS(avahi)來自動地找出伺服器,並且只需要
systemtap-client和systemtap-runtime套件便能運作。目前,此功能並不使用加密一般的安全性機制。因為如此,我們建議只在信任的網路中使用遠端編譯服務。如欲取得更多相關資訊請參閱man stap-server。 - 此發行版的 kernel 更新包含了一個大幅改善關閉 SystemTap script 的 kernel API 延伸。這個新增的 kernel API 延伸除去了各別偵測移除作業之間非必要的同步化。這使得含有上百個 kernel 偵測的 SystemTap script 能被更快速地處理。這對於使用含有萬用字元來擷取各種 kernel 事件(例如
probe syscall.* {})之偵測的 script 的管理員來說相當有幫助。
如欲取得包含在此發行版中的完整 SystemTap 更新清單,請參閱下列 URL: - 叢集管理員更新
- Cluster Manager 工具(cman)已被更新至版本 2.0.97。此更新套用了幾個錯誤修正和改善,最明顯的就是:
- cman 現在使用了下列軔體版本:APC AOS v3.5.7 和 APC rpdu v3.5.6。這修正了一項防止 APC 7901 正確使用單純網路管理通訊埠(SNMP)的錯誤。
fence_drac、fence_ilo、fence_egenera以及fence_bladecenter代理程式現在都已支援ssh。fence_xvmd金鑰檔案現在已可在不重新啟動的情況下重新載入。- 一個單獨的 fence 方式現在可支援至 8 個 fence 裝置。
- RPM 同步更新
- RedHat Package Manager(RPM)現在已被同步更新為 Fedora 9 的上游版本。rpm 現在會在多架構的系統上新增次要的架構專屬外部檔案。另外,rpm 現在已符合了所有包含入 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 的認證標準。此更新也套用了幾個 rpm 的上游增強以及錯誤修正,這包含:
- rpm 已不會在多架構的系統上產生非必要的
.rpmnew和.rpmsave檔案。 - 有項在 rpm 的
rpmgiNext()函式中的錯誤防止了正確的錯誤回報。此更新套用了正確的錯誤回報語法,並藉此確認 rpm 在所有情況下都可回傳正確的退出碼。
- Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution(OFED)/ opensm
opensm已被更新為上游版本 3.2,包含些微的 opensm 函式庫 API 變更。opensm.conf檔案的格式已改變。若您已對於您現有的opensm.conf進行修改的話,rpm 將會自動地將新的opensm.conf檔案安裝為/etc/ofed/opensm.conf.rpmnew。您將需要遷移您的變更至此檔案然後取代現有的 opensm.conf 檔案。- Red Hat 緊密地追蹤上游的 Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution(OFED)程式碼基底以提供這個進化中的技術最大的賦能。因為如此,Red Hat 在非重大發行版上所能保留的 API/ABI 相容性程度只能和上游專案相同。這屬於 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 開發上一般慣例的例外。基於此原因,建置於 OFED 堆疊上的應用程式(列在下方)在由非重大發行版的 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 遷移至新版本時可能會需要經過重新編譯或甚至是來源等級的程式碼變更。這對於其它建置於 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 軟體堆疊上的應用程式來說一般是不需要的。被影響的元件有:
- dapl
- compat-dapl
- ibsim
- ibutils
- infiniband-diags
- libcxgb3
- libehca
- libibcm
- libibcommon
- libibmad
- libibumad

- Net-SNMP 同步更新
- Net-SNMP has been re-based to upstream version 5.3.2.2. This update adds Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) support (as per RFC 3873, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3873.txt) and introduces two new configuration options (to be used in
/etc/snmpd.conf):dontLogTCPWrappersConnects— 抑制了連線嘗試的紀錄。v1trapaddress— enables administrators to set an agent's IP address inside outgoing SNMP traps.
此更新也包含了幾項來自於上游的錯誤修正,這包含了:snmpddaemon 現在已可正確地在含有多於 255 網路介面的系統上運作。此外,snmpd現在若被配置來在任何高於 65535 的通訊埠上進行監聽的話也會回報一則錯誤。- 一個造成
snmpddaemon 當由/proc進行讀取時會流出檔案描述符號的競爭狀況(race condition)已被修正。 snmpddaemon 現在已可正確地回報hrProcessorLoad物件 ID(OID),儘管在多重 CPU 的硬體上。不過請注意,自 daemon 啟動後它會花費一分鐘的時間來計算 OID 的值。net-snmp-devel套件現在已依賴lm_sensors-devel套件。
- FIPS 認證的 OpenSSL 同步更新
openssl套件已將 OpenSSL 函式庫升級至一個較新的上游版本,該版本目前處於 Fedora Information Processing Standards 驗證的程序(FIPS-140-2)中。就預設值,FIPS 模式已被停用,若要確認 OpenSSL 函式庫是否會保留先前 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 中所發行的openssl套件的功能同位以及 ABI 相容性。此更新亦套用了下列上游修正:- 就預設值,
zlib壓縮會被使用於 SSL 與 TLS 連線。在 IBM System z 架構以及 Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Function(CPACF)上,壓縮成為了 CPU 負載的主要部份,並且總效能取決於壓縮的速度(而不是加密的速度)。當壓縮被停用後,總效能便大幅提昇了。在這些更新過的套件中,SSL 和 TLS 連線的zlib壓縮可透過OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB環境變數來停用。對於 TLS 連線來說,在較慢的網路上最好將壓縮保留為開啟,如此一來所需傳輸的資料數量便較少。 - 當使用
openssl指令以及s_client和s_server選項時,預設的 CA 憑證檔案(/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt)並未被讀取。這造成了憑證驗證失敗。若要憑證通過驗證的話,-CAfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt選項必須要被使用。在這些更新過的套件中,預設的 CA 憑證檔案已被讀取,並且已不再需要透過-CAfile選項來指定。
- yum 同步更新
- yum 已被同步更新為上游版本 3.2.18。此更新改善了 yum 作業的速度,並緩和了日漸增加的各個非重大發行版中的套件數量所產生的問題。此外,這項更新也提供了 reinstall 指令,這改善了一些指令的介面並套用了幾個錯誤修正,這包含了:
- 若使用
-c選項來指定一個位於網站位置(http)上的配置檔案,所有 yum 指令都會失敗。這項錯誤現在已被修正。 - yum 中的一個
checkSignal()函式調用了錯誤的退出函式;因為如此,若要退出 yum 的話則會處於 traceback 狀態中而不會退出。在此發行版中,yum 已可正確地退出。
- flash 插件同步更新
flash-plugin套件已被同步更新為版本 10.0.12.36。此更新套用了幾個包含在先前flash-pluginASYNC 更新中的安全性修正。另外,這個更新過的插件還包含著 Adobe Flash Player 10,它包含了下列錯誤修正以及增強功能:- 藉由修正了音效輸出中的競賽狀況問題來改善了 Linux 平台上的穩定性。
- 新支援了自訂的過濾程式和效果、原生 3D 轉換功能和動畫、進階的音效處理、較新較靈活的文字引擎,和 GPU 硬體加速。
如欲取得更多有關此更新的相關資訊,請透過下列連結來參閱 Adobe Flash Player 10 的發行公告:- gdb 同步更新
- gdb 現在已被同步更新為版本 6.8。此更新套用了幾個上游功能更新以及錯誤修正,最明顯的就是:支援了 C++ 頁面格式、構造器以及行內函式中的斷點。For more information on gdb updates applied in this release, refer to http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/NEWS?rev=1.259.2.1&cvsroot=src.
- AMD Family10h 處理器上的 Instruction Based Sampling(IBS)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 已新增了 AMD Family10h 處理器的硬體設定支援。這些新的 AMD CPU 支援了 Instruction Based Sampling(IBS)。若要取得 IBS 的支援您需要更改 oProfile 驅動程式來蒐集此資訊並初始化與這些新功能關聯的新模組專屬暫存器(MSR)。此更新已新增了
IBS_FETCH和IBS_OP設定樣本至 oProfile 驅動程式的各別 CPU 緩衝器與事件緩衝器。新的控制項目也已被新增至/dev/oprofile以控制 IBS sampling。這些變更具有針對於先前唯 PMC 版本之驅動程式的向後相容性,並且有個針對於 oProfile 0.9.3 的可用升級檔以便使用新的資料。如欲取得更多有關於 IBS 的相關資訊,請參閱:Instruction-Based Sampling: A New Performance Analysis Technique for AMD Family 10h Processors, November 19, 2007 - Squid 同步更新
- Squid 已被同步更新為最新的穩定上游版本(STABLE21)。此更新指出了幾項錯誤,包括:
- squid
initscript 總是會錯誤地回傳一個退出碼 0。這項錯誤現在已被修正,並使得 squid 現在符合 Linux Standard Base。 - 使用
refresh_stale_hit指示會造成錯誤訊息Clock going backwards出現在 squid 日誌檔案中。 - squid 安裝程序並未設定正確的
/usr/local/squid目錄擁有權限。在此發行版中,squid這個用戶現在已是預設的/usr/local/squid擁有者。 - 每當 squid 嘗試使用
hash_lookup()函式時,它可能會跳出並顯示signal 6。 - 使用
squid_unix_group可能會造成 squid 當機。
- Apache 中的事件 Multi-Processing Model
httpd,也就是 Apache 的 HTTP 伺服器套件,現在已包含了實驗用的 事件 Multi-Processing Model(MPM)。這個 MPM 藉由了使用專屬的線程來處理 keepalive 連線並改善了效能。- libgomp 同步更新
libgomp已被同步更新為版本 4.3.2-7.el5。這項同步更新改善了OpenMP效能,並且新增了當使用gcc43編譯器時的OpenMP版本 3.0 的支援。- iSCSI 目標功能
- iSCSI 目標功能為 Linux Target(tgt)架構的一部分,它已由技術預覽演變為一項在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中被完整支援的功能。Linux 目標架構(target framework)能讓系統將區塊層級的 SCSI 儲存裝置 serve 至其它含有 SCSI 初始端的系統。這項功能已開始被佈署為 Linux iSCSI 目標,並在網路上將儲存裝置 serve 至任何 iSCSI 初始端。若要設定 iSCSI 目標,請安裝 scsi-target-utils RPM 並參照
/usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[版本]/README和/usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[版本]/README.iscsi中的指南

5. Kernel-Related Notes
5.1. All Architectures
relayfs先前的緩衝大小限制為 64MB。在此更新中,分配給 on-memory 緩衝的 relayfs 記憶體限制已被增加為 4095MB。這能讓 SystemTap 和其它利用relayfs的追蹤工具追蹤更多的事件。Dell Remote Access Controller 4(DRAC4)的驅動程式先前並不存在。這造成了 DRAC4 所提供的任何虛擬裝置都無法被 kernel 偵測到。在此更新中,有個提供了適當驅動程式的 pata_sil680 kernel 模組已被新增並解決了這項問題。- Relay interface 的訊息緩衝只會在
relay_open()被調用時分配給線上的 CPU。因此,若是有個離線的 CPU 在relay_open()被調用之後開啟,這將會造成 kernel panic。在此更新中,若有任何 CPU 被新增的話,新的訊息緩衝便會被動態式地分配給這些 CPU。 - 基於 8250 的序列埠驅動程式已被更新並增加了 DSR/DTR 硬體流量控制上的支援。
- Dell Wireless Wide Area Network(WWAN)網路卡的支援已被新增至 kernel。現在受支援的裝置有:
- Dell Wireless 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO Mini-Card
- Dell Wireless 5500 Mobile Broadband HSDPA Mini-Card
- Dell Wireless 5505 Mobile Broadband HSDPA Mini-Card
- Dell Wireless 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO ExpressCard
- Dell Wireless 5510 Mobile Broadband HSDPA ExpressCard
- Dell Wireless 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO Mini-Card
- Dell Wireless 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO Mini-Card
- Dell Wireless 5720
- Dell Wireless HSDPA 5520
- Dell Wireless HSDPA 5520
- Dell Wireless 5520 Voda I Mobile Broadband(3G HSDPA)Mini-Card
thinkpad_acpikernel 模組已被更新,並針對於新的 Thinkpad 型號提供更加的支援。- 軟式鎖定偵測器(soft lockup detector)現在已可被配置來啟動一個 kernel panic 以取代警告訊息。這可讓用戶在軟式鎖定發生時產生和分析損毀傾印以進行偵錯。若要配置軟式鎖定偵測器來產生一項 panic,請將 kernel 參數
soft_lockup設為1。此參數的預設值為0。 oprofile先前未能正確地辨識基於 Next-Generation Intel Microarchitecture(Nehalem)的處理器。這造成了效能監控單位無法使用以及處理器計時器中斷。kernel 已被更新並且解決了這項問題。- 已針對了 Next-Generation Intel Microarchitecture(Nehalem)上的 CPU power state,C3 新增了 kernel 的支援。進入 C3(亦稱為睡眠狀態)可在閒置時改善 CPU 的電源效率。
- Previously, the
MAX_ARG_PAGESlimit that is set in the kernel was too low, and may have resulted in the following error:execve: Argument list too long
In this update, this limit has been increased to 25 percent of the stack size, which resolves this issue. autofs4的更新已由 linux kernel 版本 2.6.27 更改為 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3。- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 現在包含了一項可將核心檔案指定被 pipe 至一個用戶空間應用程式(而不是直接 pipe 至一個檔案)的 forked 副本的功能。這能藉由將
| path/to/application放置在/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern中來啟用。當核心被傾印時,一份指定的應用程式的副本便會被執行,然後核心便會被 pipe 至 stdin。這讓核心在核心傾印時可被擴充、分析,以及動態式地處理。 /proc/cpuinfo檔案現在已會回報各別 CPU 所使用的進階可編程中斷控制器(Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller,APIC)之 ID。- Machine Check Exception(MCE)kernel 子系統已被增強來支援新系統所需的較大記憶體配置。
- mount 指令現在在透過 Samba 掛載檔案系統時已支援 Kerberos 驗證。
sec=krb5或是sec=krb5i這兩個切換選項能讓 kernel 調用一個回傳 SPNEGO(Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation Mechanism)安全性二進位大型物件(Binary Large OBject,blob)的用戶空間應用程式(cifs.upcall)。接著 kernel 便可使用此二進位大型物件來與伺服器進行驗證並掛載請求的檔案系統。 - 若您在一部使用了 IOAPIC NMI watchdog 分類法的系統上配置了
kernel.unknown_nmi_panic這個 kernel 參數的話,kernel panic 可能會發生。這是因為 NMI watchdog 無法安全地停用 NMI 來源。在此更新中,NMI watchdog 編碼已被更新並允許用戶安全地停用 NMI 來源。因此,您現在已能安全地在使用 IOAPIC NMI watchdog 分類法的系統上配置kernel.unknown_nmi_panickernel 參數。
5.2. x86 Architectures
powernowk8驅動程式之前並未針對於執行中的 CPU 進行足夠的檢查。這造成了當驅動程式被啟動時,可能會有項 kernel opps 錯誤訊息被回報。在此更新中,powernowk8驅動程式可驗證被支援的 CPU 數量(supported_cpus)是否相等於線上的 CPU 數量(num_online_cpus),這便解決了這項問題。
5.3. PowerPC Architectures
CPUFreq是個衡量控管 CPU 速率與電壓的 kernel 子系統,它已被更新並且改善了 Cell Processor 的支援。此更新實施了一項會注意 SPU(Synergistic Processing Unit)處理單元的 CPUFreq 調節器,它可增強 Cell Processor 電源上的管理。- 錯誤檢測與糾錯(Error Detection and Correction,EDAC)現在在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中的 Cell 寬頻引擎架構(Cell Broadband Engine Architecture)上已被支援。若要啟用 EDAC,請使用這項指令:
modprobe cell_edac若要檢查此模組是否已被新增至您的 kernel,請檢查 /var/log/dmesg 是否有類似以下的輸出:EDAC MC: Ver: 2.0.1 Oct 4 2008 EDAC MC0: Giving out device to cell_edac MIC: DEV cbe-mic EDAC MC1: Giving out device to cell_edac MIC: DEV cbe-mic
若是遇上了可修正的記憶體錯誤,下列訊息便會被回傳至主控台中:EDAC MC0: CE page 0xeff, offset 0x5700, grain 0, syndrome 0x51, row 0, channel 0, label "":
- 原本使用一個共享於多線程之間的變數來以硬體 watchpoint 進行除錯會造成 GNU Debugger(
GDB)不規律地漏掉 trigger 事件。Kernel 已被更新並能讓GDB一致性地取得 watchpoint trigger,因而改善除錯 session 的可靠性。
5.4. x86_64 Architectures
- kprobe-booster 現在在 ia64 與 x86_64 架構上已被支援,並允許用戶更快速地偵測 kernel 事件。此功能也會降低偵測工具(例如 SystemTap 和 Kprobes)在執行 64 位元架構的伺服器上所造成的系統超載(overhead)。
- 已新增了
_PTC(Processor Throttling Control,處理器節流控制)、_TSS(Throttling Supported States,節流支援狀態)以及_TPC(Throttling Present Capabilities,節流現有功能)物件的支援至 kernel。這項支援為進階組能與電源界面(Advance Configuration and Power Interface,ACPI)規格的一部分,它提供了經改善的處理器節流管理。
5.5. s390x Architectures
- In zipl.conf, parameters enclosed with double quotes inside of single quotes (ie
parameters='vmhalt="LOGOFF"') were being parsed incorrectly. Consequently, installing the kernel-kdump package may have failed, resulting in the error:grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
To resolve this issue, parameters should be enclosed with single quotes inside of double quotes (ieparameters="vmhalt='LOGOFF'")注意
單引號位於雙引號之中為 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 中的預設語法結構。
5.6. ia64 Architecture
- 雙核心 Intel Itanium 2 處理器所填出的系統檢查架構(MCA)紀錄和先前的 Intel Itanium 處理器不同。快取檢測和匯流排檢測的目標標識符號現在在某些情況下可以是不同的。kernel 已被更新並且可找出正確的目標標識符號。
- kprobe-booster 現在在 ia64 與 x86_64 架構上已被支援,並允許用戶更快速地偵測 kernel 事件。此功能也會降低偵測工具(例如 SystemTap 和 Kprobes)在執行 64 位元架構的伺服器上所造成的系統超載(overhead)。
- 在此更新中,
pselect()和ppoll()系統調用上的支援已被新增至 kernel。
6. Virtualization
This section contains information about updates made to Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite of Virtualization tools.
6.1. Feature Updates
- blktap(blocktap)用戶空間工具組已被更新,並提供了一項用功能來監控 blktap 所支持之虛擬化客座端的傳輸數據。
- 已新增了 Intel Extended Page Table(EPT)功能上的支援,並改善了支援 EPT 的硬體上的完整虛擬化客座端效能。
- 客座端的
e1000網路裝置模擬已被新增至此更新中,並且只支援 ia64 架構上的 Windows 2003 客座端。若要使用 e1000 模擬,您必須使用 xm 指令。 virtio的驅動程式、KVM 中的 I/O 虛擬化的平台已由 Linux Kernel 2.6.27 回溯至 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3。這些驅動程式將能讓 KVM 客座端達到更高層級的 I/O 效能。各種像是anaconda、kudzu、lvm、selinux以及mkinitrd的用戶空間元件也已被更新來支援 virtio 裝置。- 原生的 Linux kernel 會自動地支援
vmcoreinfo,不過,若要在 dom0 網域上設定 kdump 的話,您將需要kernel-xen-debuginfo套件。在此更新中,kernel 和 hypervisor 已被修改並支援了 vmcoreinfo 自然地讀取和寫入 kdump。需要使用 kdump 來在 dom0 網域上進行除錯或是其它調查動作的用戶現在已能在不安裝debuginfo或debuginfo-common套件的情況下這麼做了。 - 當使用模擬的磁碟和網路裝置時,完整虛擬化的 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 客座端會達到最適度下(suboptimal)的效能。在此更新中,kmod-xenpv 套件已被包含來簡化完整虛擬化客座端中的半虛擬化磁碟和網路上的使用。在完整虛擬化的客座端中使用這些驅動程式可大幅地改善效能和完整虛擬化客座端的功能。針對於 netfront 和 block front 驅動程式所進行的錯誤修正可即刻生效並與 kernel 套件同步化。
- 客座端現在已能使用 2MB 的 backing page 記憶體表格,這將能改善系統效能。
6.2. Resolved Issues
6.2.1. All Architectures
- 關閉半虛擬化的客座端可能會造成 dom0 停止回應一段時間。在含有較多記憶體(例如 12GB 或更多)的客座端上有可能會有幾秒鐘的延遲。在此更新中,虛擬化的 kernel 可先佔式地關閉大型的半虛擬化客座端並解決這項問題。
crashwas unable to read the relocation address of the hypervisor from a vmcore file. Consequently, opening a Virtualized kernel vmcore file with crash would fail, resulting in the error:crash: cannot resolve "idle_pg_table_4"
In this update, the hypervisor now saves the address correctly, which resolves this issue.- 先前,半虛擬化的客座端最多只能有 16 個磁碟裝置。在此更新中,這項限制已被增加為最大 256 個磁碟裝置。
- 為 kdump kernel 所保留的記憶體不正確,並造成了無法使用的 crash 傾印。在此更新中,記憶體的保留已被更正,並能讓正確的 crash 傾印產生。
- 為半虛擬化的客座端磁碟附加特定名稱(例如
/dev/xvdaa、/dev/xvdab、/dev/xvdbc等等)會在客座端中造成/dev裝置損毀。此更新解決了這項問題,因此附加這些名稱至半虛擬化客座端的磁碟上將會在客座端中建立正確的/dev裝置。 - 先前,loopback 裝置的數量被限制為 4 個。這造成了在含有超過四個網路介面的系統上無法建立橋接。在此更新中,
netloop驅動程式現在已能視需求建立額外的 loopback 裝置。 - 當建立和毀掉虛擬網路裝置時,競賽狀況(race condition)有可能會發生。在某些情況下,特別是高負載的情況下,這會造成虛擬裝置停止反應。在此更新中,虛擬裝置的狀態會先被檢查以防競賽狀況發生。
- 若應用程式被擱置繼續執行的話,
virt-manager中就會有個記憶體遺漏狀況發生。這會造成該應用程式持續耗費更多資源,並導致記憶體不足。在此更新中,這項遺漏的問題已被修正。 - the
crashutility could not analyzex86_64vmcores from systems runningkernel-xenbecause the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hypervisor was relocatable and the relocated physical base address is not passed in the vmcore file's ELF header. The new--xen_phys_startcommand line option for the crash utility allows the user to pass crash the relocated base physical address. - 並非所有滑鼠事件都會被
Paravirtual Frame Buffer(PVFB)擷取與處理。這造成了當和含有Virtual Machine Console的半虛擬化客座端相互作用時,滑鼠的滾輪無法運作。在此更新中,滾輪的滑鼠事件已可被正確處理並解決了這項問題。 - 在一部含有大量 CPU 的機器上使用虛擬化可能會造成 hypervisor 在進行客座端安裝時當機。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。
- 在回傳了 CPUID family value 為 6 的 Intel 處理器上,只有一個效能計數寄存器(counter register)會在
kernel-xen中被啟用。這造成了只有計數器 0 會提供數據。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。
6.2.2. x86 Architectures
- On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized properly.
- 當執行一個 x86 半虛擬化的客座端時,若有項程序存取了無效的記憶體,它便會在一個迴圈循環中執行而不是取得 SEGV 訊號。這是因為 execshield 檢測在 hypervisor 下進行時產生的漏洞所造成的。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。
6.2.3. ia64 Architecture
- A
xendbug that previously caused guest installation failures is now fixed. evtchn事件頻道裝置缺少了鎖定及記憶體屏障。這造成了 xenstore 變得無法反應。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。- 非統一記憶體存取(Non-Uniform Memory Access,NUMA)資訊並未被
xm info指令顯示出。這會造成各個節點的node_to_cpu值都會被錯誤回傳為no cpus。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。 - 先前,在硬體虛擬機器(Hardware Virtual Machine,HVM)上,若處理器包含了 VT-i2 技術的話,客座端的建立便會失敗。在此更新中,這項問題已被解決。
6.2.4. x86_64 Architectures
- 當客座端虛擬機器可使用的 Dynamic IRQ 已耗盡時,
dom0kernel 便會當機。在此更新中,當機的情況已被修正,可用的 IRQ 數量也已被增加並解決了這項問題。 - On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized properly.
6.3. Known Issues
6.3.1. All Architectures
- 當使用虛擬化 kernel 時,磁碟機媒介將無法被存取。若要解決此問題,請使用 USB 磁碟來取代。請注意,磁碟媒介可正常使用於其它非虛擬化的 kernel。
- In live migrations of paravirtualized guests, time-dependent guest processes may function improperly if the corresponding hosts' (dom0) times are not synchronized. Use NTP to synchronize system times for all corresponding hosts before migration.
- 在兩台主機間重複地轉移客座端可能會導致一台主機當機。若一台主機在自該機器轉移後、同時在同樣的客座端轉移回來之前重新開機,當機情形就不會發生。
- 若客座端是以多重虛擬 CPU 來啟動的話,以客座端身份執行 Windows 2008 或是 Windows Vista 時格式化磁碟可能會造成當機。若要解決此問題,當進行格式化時,請以單虛擬 CPU 來啟動客座端。
- 透過
virt-manager所建立的完整虛擬化客座端有時可能會造成滑鼠在畫面上無法自由地移動。若要解決此問題,請使用virt-manager來為客座端配置一個 USB 行動裝置。 - 在一部含有 128 或更多 CPU 數量的系統上,最大 CPU 數量必須被限制為少於 128。目前所支援的最大值為 126。請使用
maxcpus=126hypervisor 引數來將 Hyprevisor 限制為 126。 - 完整虛擬化的客座端無法修正因為暫停和恢復網域所造成的 time lost。半虛擬化 kernel 的好處就是可正確追溯暫停和復原事件之間的時間。此問題已被回報並將透過使用替代的計時器來解決。如此一來,完整虛擬化的客座端便會使用半虛擬化的計時器。目前該程式碼還在上游開發中,並且應該在之後的 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 版本中便可使用了。
- 重複遷移半虛擬化的客座端可能會造成
bad mpa訊息出現在dom0主控台上。在某些情況下,hypervisor 也有可能會進入 panic 狀態。若要避免 hypervisor kernel panic,一旦 bad mpa 訊息出現時,請重新啟動被遷移的客座端。 - 當設定綁定至
dom0上的介面時,預設的network-bridgescript 可能會造成綁定的網路介面在unavailable和available之間進行切換。這種情況一般稱為 flapping。若要避免此狀況發生,請將/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp中標準的network-script行列取代為下列行列:(network-script network-bridge-bonding netdev=bond0)
這麼作將會停用 netloop 裝置,並避免位址解析通訊協定(Address Resolution Protocol,APR)的監控在位址轉換程序進行時失敗。 - When running multiple guest domains, guest networking may temporarily stop working, resulting in the following error being reported in the dom0 logs:
Memory squeeze in netback driver
To work around this, raise the amount of memory available to the dom0 with thedom0_memhypervisor command line option.
6.3.2. x86 Architectures
- 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.若要避免此問題,請在安裝時將客座端設定為只使用單處理器。您可以藉由virt-install的--vcpus=1選項來達成此一目的。一旦安裝完成後,您便可透過修改 virt-manager 中所分配的vcpus來將客座端設為 SMP。
6.3.3. x86_64 Architectures
- Migrating paravirtualized guests through
xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address]does not work. - Installing the Virtualization feature may cause a
time went backwardswarning on HP systems with model numbers xw9300 and xw9400.要解決 xw9400 的問題,請設定 BIOS,啟用 HPET 計時器。請注意,這選項在 xw9300 上是沒有的。 - 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 interrupterrors.若要避開這項啟動上的錯誤,請將客座端配置來使用 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.若要避免此問題,請利用單 CPU 模式來啟動各個 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 客座端並將它的 kernel 升級為最新版本(Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5.z)。
6.3.4. ia64 Architecture
- Migrating paravirtualized guests through
xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address]does not work. - On some Itanium systems configured for console output to VGA, the
dom0virtualized 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.當這問題發生時,請在/boot/efi/elilo.conf檔案中的核心啟動選項中加入console=tty這個開機參數。 - On some Itanium systems (such as the Hitachi Cold Fusion 3e), the serial port cannot be detected in
dom0when VGA is enabled by the EFI Maintenance Manager. As such, you need to supply the following serial port information to thedom0kernel:- 速度(位元 / 秒)
- 資料位元數量
- 配類
io_base位址
這些詳情必須指定於/boot/efi/elilo.conf檔案中的dom0kernel 的append=行列上。例如:append="com1=19200,8n1,0x3f8 -- quiet rhgb console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8"在此範例中,com1代表序列埠、19200代表速度(位元 / 秒)、8n1指定了資料位元 / 配類設定數量,而0x3f8則代表io_base位址。 - Virtualization does not work on some architectures that use Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA). As such, installing the virtualized kernel on systems that use NUMA will result in a boot failure.有些安裝號碼就預設值會安裝虛擬化 kernel。若您有這樣的一組安裝號碼,並且您的系統也使用 NUMA,不過卻無法使用 kernel-xen 的話,請在安裝時反選虛擬化(Virtualization)選項。
- Currently, live migration of fully virtualized guests is not supported on this architecture. In addition,
kexecandkdumpare 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.

- EMC Clariion 上的 ALUA 模式
- 在 EMC Clariion 儲存庫上使用
dm-multipath來進行的暗示 active-active 故障復原的功能現在已被支援。此模式是以個別的 T10 規格來提供的,不過僅提供在此版本中作為技術預覽。For more information about T10, refer to http://www.t10.org. - ext4
ext4這個最新的 ext 檔案系統包含在此發行版中為技術預覽。Ext4屬於 Red Hat and the Linux 社群所開發的ext3檔案系統的增強版。此檔案系統在本技術預覽中的名稱為ext4dev。此檔案系統是由ext4dev.kokernel 模組所提供的,以及一個新的e4fsprogs套件,該套件包含著可用於 ext4 的更新版 e2fsprogs 管理工具。若要使用的話,請安裝e4fsprogs然後使用來自於 e4fsprogs 程式、類似mkfs.ext4dev的指令來建立一個基於 ext4 的檔案系統。當參照掛載指令列或是 fstab 檔案上的檔案系統時,請使用ext4dev這組檔案系統名稱。- FreeIPMI
- FreeIPMI 現在已被包含在此更新中作為技術預覽。FreeIPMI 是一組智慧型平台管理介面(Intelligent Platform Management,IPMI)系統軟體。它提供了 in-band 和 out-of-band 軟體,以及符合智慧型平台管理介面(IPMI v1.5 和 v2.0)標準的開發函式庫。For more information about FreeIPMI, refer to http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/
- TrouSerS 和 tpm-tools
- TrouSerS 和
tpm-tools被包含在此版本中以啟用 Trusted Platform Module(可信賴平台模組,TPM)硬體。TPM 硬體功能(不僅)包含:- 安全的 RSA 金鑰建立、儲存與運用(不暴露在記憶體中)
- 透過使用加密雜湊來驗證平台的軟體狀態
TrouSerS 為可信賴運算組織(Trusted Computing Group)的軟體堆疊(TSS)規格所實做的。您能夠使用 TrouSerS 來編寫使用 TPM 硬體的應用程式。tpm-tools是個用來管理和利用 TPM 硬體的工具套件。For more information about TrouSerS, refer to http://trousers.sourceforge.net/. - eCryptfs
- eCryptfs 是個 Linux 的堆疊加密檔案系統。它會掛載於當前已掛載的較低層檔案系統(例如 EXT3)中的個別目錄上;若要開始使用 eCryptfs,您無須更改現有的磁碟分割或檔案系統。在此發行版中,eCryptfs 已被同步更新為上游版本 56,它提供了幾個錯誤修正和增強功能。此外,此更新還提供了一個協助配置 eCryptfs 的圖形化程式(
ecryptfs-mount-helper-gui)。此更新同時更改了特定 eCryptfs 掛載選項的語法。若您選擇更新此版本的 eCryptfs,您應該更新任何受影響的掛載 script 和/etc/fstab項目。如欲取得這些變更上的相關資訊,請參閱man ecryptfs。下列警告所針對的是此發行版的 eCryptfs:- 請注意,eCryptfs 檔案系統只有在加密的檔案系統被掛載於相同名稱的目錄上時才可正常運作。比方說:
mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/secret /mnt/secret
檔案系統的安全性部份不應被暴露,也就是說它不應該被掛載至其它掛載點、綁定掛載等等。 - 掛載於網路檔案系統上的 eCryptfs(例如 NFS、Samba)將無法正常運作。
- 此版本的 eCryptfs kernel 驅動程式需要更新過的用戶空間,該用戶空間由
ecryptfs-utils-56-4.el5或更新版本所提供。
For more information about eCryptfs, 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. - Stateless Linux
- Stateless Linux 是一種新的執行與管理系統之思維方法,用來簡化大量系統的管理工作,方法是讓管理者能輕易地替換系統。主要作法是準備系統的映像檔,透過大量的 stateless 系統來複製與管理,以唯讀的方式來執行作業系統(詳情請參閱
/etc/sysconfig/readonly-root)。在它目前發展的階段中,Stateless 功能為目標的一部分。就其本身而言,該項功能還是一樣保持為「技術預覽」。我們強烈建議想測試 stateless 功能的使用者讀取 HOWTO 技術文件,網址為:http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux/HOWTO,並加入 stateless-list@redhat.com 郵件論壇。Stateless Linux 的啟用架構元件原本在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 之中已被介紹。 - AIGLX
- AIGLX 屬於完整支援 X 伺服器的技術預覽功能。其目標是在標準桌面上,啟用 GL 加速特效。這項專案計劃包括以下內容:
- 稍微經過修改的 X 伺服器。
- 更新過的 Mesa 套件,支援新的通訊協定。
安裝這些元件後,不需要太多變更,您的電腦上就可以擁有 GL 加速特效,以及不需要取代 X 伺服器就可以啟用或停用這些特效的能力。AIGLX 也啟用了遠端 GLX 應用程式,以善用硬體 GLX 加速所帶來的好處。 - FireWire
firewire-sbp2模組依然被包含在此更新中為技術預覽。該模組能啟用和 FireWire 儲存裝置以及掃描器之間的連結。目前,FireWire 並不支援下列:- IPv4
- pcilynx 主機控制器
- multi-LUN 儲存裝置
- 以非特殊地方式存取儲存裝置
另外,此版本的 FireWire 中還是存在著下列問題:SBP2驅動程式中的記憶體流失可能會造成機器的反應遲鈍。- 此版本中有個程式碼在二進位資料次序(big-endian)的機器中無法正常運作。這有可能會導致在 PowerPC 中產生無法預期的錯誤。
- ktune
- 此發行版包含了
ktune(來自於ktune套件),這是一項設置了幾個 kernel 調校參數為適合特定系統設定檔的值的服務。目前,ktune只為使用大量記憶體、執行耗費大量磁碟與高網路使用量的應用程式的系統提供設定檔。ktune所提供的設定不會覆蓋設置於/etc/sysctl.conf之中或是透過 kernel 指令列所進行的設定。ktune可能並不適合某些系統與工作量;因此,您應該在佈署至生產環境之前進行完整的測試。您可藉由(以 root 身份)使用service ktune stop來停止ktune以停用任何ktune所設置的設定並回復到您正常的設定。 - dmraid 的 SGPIO 支援
- 一般用途序列 I/O(Serial General Purpose Input Output,SGPIO)是個使用於主板和各種內部與外部硬碟外盒之間的企業標準通訊方式。此方式可被用來透過 AHCI 驅動程式介面來控制外盒的 LED 燈。在此發行版中,dmraid 中的 SGPIO 支援屬於技術預覽。這可允許 dmraid 正常運作於磁碟外盒。
- GCC 4.3
- GNU 編譯器套裝版本 4.3(Gnu Compiler Collection version 4.3,GCC4.3)現在已包含在此發行版中為技術預覽。這組編譯器包含了 C、C++ 以及 Fortran 95 編譯器,以及支援函式庫。請注意,
gcc43套件中,gnu89-inline選項的預設值已被更改為-fgnu89-inline,而上游與未來的 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 更新則會使用-fno-gnu89-inline為預設值。這是必要的,因為許多 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 中的標頭都預期 GNU in-line 語義而非 ISO C99 語義。這些標頭尚未被調整來透過屬性請求 GNU in-line 語義。 - Kernel Tracepoint 功能
- 在此更新中,有個新的 kernel marker/tracepoint 功能已被實作為技術預覽。此介面新增了靜態的偵測點入 kernel 中,並用來與類似 SystemTap 的工具一起使用。
- RAID 群組的裝置錯誤監控(Device Failure Monitoring)
- 裝置錯誤監控使用了 dmraid 和 dmevent_tool 工具,並包含在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 中為技術預覽。這項功能提供了可監控和回報 RAID 群組之元件裝置上的裝置錯誤的能力。
8. Resolved Issues
8.1. All Architectures
- TTY 裝置活動報告的資料原本無法正常產生。這造成了
sar -y指令失敗,並回傳下列錯誤:Requested activities not available in file
在此更新的套件中 sar 已被更正,因此 -y 選項已可輸出 TTY 裝置活動。 - 先前,若將
/etc/multipath.conf中的max_fds設置為unlimited的話,將會造成 multipathd daemon 無法啟動。若開啟的檔案描述器數量需要被設為系統最大值的話,max_fds應被設為max。 - mod_perl 現在已被同步更新為版本 2.0.4,也就是最新的上游發行版。此更新套用了幾個新要素,這包含了一項允許 mod_perl 能與 Bugzilla 3.0 正常運作的錯誤修正。
- cups 現在已被同步更新為版本 1.3.7。此更新套用了幾個錯誤修正和增強功能,包括:
- Kerberos 驗證現在已被支援。
- 用戶定義的印表機與工作政策現在已能被正確載入。
- 當瀏覽被停用時,遠端佇列快取已不再會被載入。
classes.conf配置檔案現在已含有正確的檔案權限。
lm_sensors已被同步更新為版本 2.10.7。此更新套用了幾個上游增強功能以及錯誤修正,這包含了一個當k8temp被載入時,libsensors 不會當機並產生General parse error這則錯誤訊息的修正。- elfutils 在此發行版中已被更新並發現了下列錯誤:
- 當讀取特定輸入檔案時,eu-readelf 工具有可能會當機。
- eu-strip 工具被使用於建立新 binary 套件用的
rpmbuild程序中。它將除錯資訊與可執行的程式碼分開來並製作了-debuginfo套件。此工具程式中有項錯誤會產生在 s390 平台上的 ET_REL 檔案所無法使用的除錯資訊;這影響了 Linux kernel 模組檔案(.ko.debug),並造成了產生的kernel-debuginfo套件無法和 s390 上的 Systemtap 運作。
- vnc-server 現在已被同步更新為版本 4.1.2-14.el5。此更新套用了下列修正:
- 一項造成當 Xvnc 失敗時,vncserver 無法列印錯誤訊息的錯誤現在已被修正。
- Xvnc 已不再使用錯誤的 root 視窗疊放(window depth);它現在所使用的是由
-depth選項所指定的正確視窗疊放。 - 一項造成了
libvnc.so模組使 X 伺服器當機的錯誤現在已被修正。 - Xvnc 現在在所有架構上都已支援 GLX 和 RENDER 延伸。
- smartmontools 已被同步更新為版本 5.38。此更新改善了硬體裝置的 autodetection、改善了 CCISS RAID 陣列的支援,並大幅增加了裝置種類上的支援。此更新同時修正了一項 SELinux 防止 smartmontools 監控 3ware RAID 裝置的錯誤。smartmontools 現在已可正確地監控這類型的裝置。
- python-urlgrabber 已被同步更新為版本 3.1.0-5。此更新套用了幾個來自於上游的錯誤修正,包括:
yum現在已可由一個不支援部份下載的yum儲存庫正常地進行重新下載。yum現在已可恢復被中斷的下載,儘管該yum儲存庫基於一個含有特定通訊埠的 FTP。- 進度表現在已能動態式地和終端機寬度改變。此外,進度表現在看起來更乾淨並顯示了已下載資料的總百分比。
- python-urlgrabber 的
keepalive訊號現在已被修正。先前,此訊號中有項錯誤會在進行下載時不正確地增加記憶體的使用量;此外,這項錯誤也造成了 reposync 和 yumdownloader 在下載大量套件時無法正常運作。
- yum-utils 已被同步更新至上游版本 1.1.16。此更新套用了幾個錯誤修正,包括:
yum update --security現在已可正確地找出較舊的相關安全性更新。yum-versionlock現在已能正確地針對於淘汰的套件運作。
此更新同時包含了yum-fastestmirror插件,它啟用了 yum 來選擇鏡像中最快的儲存庫。 - Samba 已被同步更新為上游版本 3.2.0。這修正了幾項錯誤,包括造成用戶無法加入使用了 Windows 2003 為它們的名稱伺服器的網域的錯誤。此更新同時修正了一項造成 samba 網域成員在透過使用了
net rpc changetrustpw來更改系統密碼後損毀的錯誤。For a more comprehensive list of upstream samba updates included this release, refer to http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.32.html - OpenLDAP 已被同步更新為上游版本 2.3.43。此更新套用了幾個上游錯誤修正,包括:
- 現在若
slapddaemon 無法讀取某個 TLS 憑證檔案的話,initscript 已會回報一則警告。 openldap-debuginfo套件中所有的函式庫現在都已被 unstripped 了。- 現在反安裝
openldap-devel套件已不會導致 OpenLDAP 函式庫損毀了。
Red Hat 現在已為 OpenLDAP 伺服器發佈了額外的 overlay。除了syncprov之外,所有 overlay 都能在各別的openldap-servers-overlays套件中找到,這些 overlay 都已被編譯為可動態式載入的模組。syncprovoverlay 已靜態地連至 OpenLDAP 伺服器以保留較舊 OpenLDAP 發行版的相容性。 - 因為
xtermbinary 已設置了 set group ID(setgid)位元,因此特定環境變數(例如LD_LIBRARY_PATH與TMPDIR)被反設置了。在此發行版中,xtermbinary 現在已配置了0755權限模式,並解決了這項問題。 - The recommended method for balancing the load on NIS servers when multiple machines are connecting with ypbind has changed with this release. The ypbind daemon's behavior has not changed: it still pings all NIS servers listed in the
/etc/ypbindconfiguration file and then binds to the single fastest-responding server. Before, it was recommended to list all available NIS servers in each machine's/etc/ypbind.confconfiguration file. However, because even servers under high load can respond quickly to this ping, thus inadvertently increasing their own load, it is now recommended for administrators to list a smaller number of available NIS servers in each machine's ypbind.conf, and to vary this list across machines. In this way, NIS servers are automatically load-balanced due to not every NIS server being listed as being available to every machine. - OpenMotif 已被同步更新至上游版本 2.3.1。此更新套用了幾個錯誤修正,包括:
- OpenMotif 在處理
Grab和Ungrab事件上有項錯誤,這項錯誤現在已被修正。在先前的發行版中,這項錯誤可能會造成畫面被鎖定住。 - nedit 中有項錯誤可能會造成它在使用 nedit 圖形化用戶介面時當機。這是基於程式碼中某個函式在進行某些項目選擇時所造成的區段錯誤,這項錯誤現在已被修正。
- dbus 已被同步更新為版本 1.1.2。此更新修正了一項多線程程式在 dbus 中可能會造成 deadlock 的錯誤。在先前的發行版當中,當有個線程監聽 dbus 並處理訊息時,第二個線程便會將訊息傳送至 dbus。
- strace 已被同步更新為版本 4.5.18。此更新修正了幾個錯誤,包括:
- 一項當在某些多線程程式(特別是在 64 位元的系統上)上使用
-f選項時會使 strace 當機的錯誤現在已被修正。 - 一項造成 64 位元版本的 strace 無法在 32 位元程序上執行
vfork()函式調用的錯誤現在已被修正。
- cpuspeed 已被更新為版本 1.2.1-5。透過了此更新,現在若所有其它模組都載入失敗的話,cpuspeed
initscript 便會載入speedstep-centrino模組。此外,有一項會造成Powernow-k8模組無法載入的用戶空間錯誤現在已被修正。 - frysk 工具套件已被完全地從此發行版中移除了。frysk 原本為 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 中的技術預覽。
- 先前,
iostat -x指令所提供的分割區 I/O 數據並不完整。在此更新中,分割區數據現在的計算方式已和磁碟數據相同,這提供了具連貫性以及較為廣泛的分割區層級 I/O 數據。 - 在 Dovecot 郵件伺服器的配置檔案中發現了密碼驗證的相關漏洞。若系統定義了
ssl_key_password選項的話,所有本地用戶皆可檢視 SSL 金鑰密碼。(CVE-2008-4870)注意
這項漏洞並不會讓攻擊者取得 SSL 金鑰的內容。密碼在缺少了金鑰檔案的情況下便沒有用處,並且非任何用戶都含有讀取該金鑰檔案的權限。To better protect even this value, however, thedovecot.conffile now supports the "!include_try" directive. Thessl_key_passwordoption should be moved fromdovecot.confto a new file owned by, and only readable and writable by, root (ie 0600). This file should be referenced fromdovecot.confby setting the!include_try /path/to/password/fileoption.
8.2. x86_64 Architectures
- ksh 已被同步更新為版本 2008-02-02。此更新新增了多重位元組的字元處理、找出了許多工作控制上的問題並套用了幾個來自於上游的錯誤修正。請注意,這項針對於 ksh 所作的更新會產生現有 script 相容性上的問題。
8.3. s390x Architectures
vmconvert有項使它無法在vmur裝置節點(/dev/0.0.000c)上正常運作的錯誤。這造成了vmconvert在嘗試存取vmur裝置上的傾印時將會失敗並產生vmconvert: Open dump file failed! (Permission denied)這則錯誤訊息。在此發行版中,s390utils已被更新來修正了此問題。mon_procddaemon 和mon_fsstatddaemon 的initscript 和config檔案原本不存在s390utils套件中。這造成了這些 daemon 無法被建置和使用。這些遺失的檔案在此更新中已被新增並解決了這項問題。
8.4. PowerPC Architectures
- 一項造成
ehci_hcd模組無法在此架構上被重新載入的錯誤已被修正。這可確保 Belkin 4-port PCI-Express USB Lily 控制器(和其它相似的裝置)現在已可在使用ehci_hcd模組的情況下正確地運作於 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 上。 - libhugetlbfs 函式庫現在已被同步更新為版本 1.3。此更新已針對了該函式庫套用了幾個上游增強功能,並從而改善了使用大型頁面的應用程式的效能。如欲取得完整的 libhugetlbfs 更新清單,請參閱下列連結:
9. Known Issues
9.1. All Architectures
- 當使用新的磁碟加密功能來為 root 檔案系統加密時,在關閉系統的時候您將會在主控台上看見下列錯誤訊息:
Stopping disk encryption [FAILED]
這則訊息可被忽略,關機程序將會成功完成。 - When using an encrypted device, the following error message may be reported during bootup:
insmod: error inserting '/lib/aes_generic.ko': -1 File exists
This message can safely be ignored. - 在 multipath 上使用 Multiple Device(MD)RAID 來進行安裝將會造成機器無法啟動。內部提供 RAID 的存儲區域網路(Storage Area Network,SAN)裝置的 Multipath 則不會受到影響。
- When a large number of LUNs are added to a node, multipath can significantly increase the time it takes for udev to create device nodes for them. If you experience this problem, you can correct it by deleting the following line in
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-multipath.rules:KERNEL!="dm-[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM=="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/lsmod | /bin/grep ^dm_multipath'", RUN+="/sbin/multipath -v0 %M:%m"
This line causes udev to run multipath every time a block device is added to the node. Even with this line removed, multipathd will still automatically create multipath devices, and multipath will still be called during the boot process, for nodes with multipathed root filesystems. The only change is that multipath devices will not be automatically created when multipathd is not running, which should not be a problem for the vast majority of multipath users. - 當由較舊版本的 Red Hat Enterprise Linux to 5.3 進行升級時,您可能會遇到下列錯誤:
Updating : mypackage ################### [ 472/1655] rpmdb: unable to lock mutex: Invalid argument
造成鎖定問題的原因基於在 5.2 和 5.3 之間,glibc 中共享的 futex(快速用戶區互斥)鎖定被增強為針對於單項程序的 futexes。因為如此,針對於 5.2 glibc 執行的程式無法正確地針對執行 5.3 glibc 的程式進行共享的 futex 鎖定。這則特定錯誤訊息是個套件調用 rpm 為它安裝 script 的一部分的副作用。進行升級的 rpm 事例在整個升級程序當中都使用了先前的 glibc,不過由 script 中所啟動的 rpm 事例所使用的則是新的 glibc。To avoid this error, upgrade glibc first in a separate run:# yum update glibc # yum update
You will also see this error if you downgrade glibc to an earlier version on an installed 5.3 system. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 中的
mvapich和mvapich2只被編譯來支援 InfiniBand/iWARP 互連。相反地,它們無法在乙太網路或是其它網路上執行。 - 在含有超過兩個加密的區塊裝置的系統上,anaconda 會有一個提供全域密碼的選項。不過,init script 並不支援此功能。當啟動系統時,您將需要為所有的加密區塊裝置各別地輸入密碼。
- When upgrading openmpi using yum, the following warning may be returned:
cannot open `/tmp/openmpi-upgrade-version.*' for reading: No such file or directory
The message is harmless and can be safely ignored. - 配置 IRQ SMP 調度器對於某些使用訊息 message signaled interrupts(MSI)不過無 MSI per-vector masking 功能的裝置無效。這類型的裝置包括使用
bnx2驅動程式的 Broadcom NetXtreme 乙太網路裝置。若您需要為這類型的裝置配置 IRQ 調度器的話,請藉由在/etc/modprobe.d/中建立一個檔案並包含下列行列來停用 MSI:options bnx2 disable_msi=1
此外,您亦可透過使用 kernel 開機參數pci=nomsi來完全地停用 MSI。 - 更新的
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules中有項錯誤,它會讓您無法將磁帶裝置的名稱建立為含有比 9 還要大的數字。比方說,磁帶裝置的名稱無法取名為nst12。要解決這問題,請在/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules中任何出現nst[0-9]字串的後方加入星號(*)。 smartctl工具無法由 SATA 裝置正常讀取 SMART 參數。- 先前版本的
openmpi和lam中有個會讓您無法升級這些套件的錯誤。這項錯誤(當嘗試升級openmpi或lam時)會顯現在下列錯誤當中:error: %preun(openmpi-[version]) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
因此,您需要手動式地移除較舊版本的openmpi和lam才能安裝它們的最新版本。若要如此,請使用下列rpm指令:rpm -qa | grep '^openmpi-\|^lam-' | xargs rpm -e --noscripts --allmatches - When using
dm-multipath, iffeatures "1 queue_if_no_path"is specified in/etc/multipath.confthen 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.confas well.If you need to use"1 queue_if_no_path"and experience the issue noted here, usedmsetupto edit the policy at runtime for a particular LUN (i.e. for which all the paths are unavailable).To illustrate: rundmsetup message [device] 0 "fail_if_no_path", where[device]is the multipath device name (e.g.mpath2; do not specify the path) for which you want to change the policy from"queue_if_no_path"to"fail_if_no_path". - 啟用相同 kernel 模組的多種不同安裝版本並不被支援。除此之外,kernel 模組版本剖析方式上有項錯誤有時會造成一個相同 kernel 模組的較舊版本被啟用。Red Hat 建議當您安裝了一個新版本的 kernel 模組時,您應該先將舊版的模組刪除掉。
- 在一部配置了 NFS root 的 IBM Bladecenter QS21 或是 QS22 上執行
kdump將會失敗。若要避免此情況發生,請在/etc/kdump.conf中指定一個 NFS 傾印目標。 - IBM T60 手提電腦會在暫停或是接上底座時完全地關機。若要避免此情況發生,請以
acpi_sleep=s3_bios這個引數來啟動系統。 - IBM Bladecenter 的 QLogic iSCSI Expansion Card 提供了乙太網路與 iSCSI 功能。這張介面卡的某些部份是有這兩者所共享。然而,目前
qla3xxx與qla4xxx驅動程式是以分開的方式存取這些部份。這兩個驅動程式都不支援同時使用乙太網路與 iSCSI。因為此限制,連續的重新啟動(透過連續的ifdown/ifup指令)可能會使裝置停滯。若要避免此情況發生,請在ifup之後等候超過 10 秒鐘才執行ifdown。相同地,請在ifdown過後等待超過 10 秒鐘才執行ifup。此間隔可確保在執行了ifup之後有充足的時間讓所有功能進行穩定化與重新初始化。 - 當透過使用有線的乙太網路連結埠來進行任何網路安裝時,配備「Cisco Aironet MPI-350」無線網卡的筆記型電腦可能會在試圖取得 DHCP 位址時停止回應。解決方法是改用本機上的檔案來安裝。或者您可以在安裝前,停用筆記型電腦 BIOS 中的無線網路卡(您可以在完成安裝後,重新啟用無線網路卡)。
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 開機時無法將系統日誌寫入
/var/log/boot.log中。 - 如果 X 在 vesa 之外的驅動程式下執行,系統也許無法正常重新啟動
kexec/kdump核心。這個問題只會發生在 ATI Rage XL 顯示晶片。如果在裝載 ATI Rage XL 的系統下執行 X,請確定這個裝置使用 vesa 驅動程式,如此才能正常重新啟動至kexec/kdump核心。 - 在一部安裝了 nVidia CK804 晶片組的系統上使用 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 時,您可能會收到類似以下的 kernel 訊息:
kernel: assign_interrupt_mode Found MSI capability kernel: pcie_portdrv_probe->Dev[005d:10de] has invalid IRQ. Check vendor BIOS
這些訊息顯示特定 PCI-E 連接埠並沒有要求 IRQ。無論如何,任何的這些訊息都不會影響到機器的運作。 - 當您以 root 身份登錄時,可移除的儲存裝置(例如 CD 與 DVD)不會自動地掛載。就其本身而言,您需要透過圖形化檔案管理員來手動式地將裝置掛載。另外,您也能執行下列指令來將裝置掛載至
/media:mount /dev/[device name] /media
- 當在已配置的儲存系統上刪除了某個 LUN 時,這項變更並不會影響到主機。在這種情況下,當使用
dm-multipath時,lvm指令會不定時地擱置,因為 LUN 已經失效(stale)了。若要避開此問題的話,請刪除掉所有裝置並利用mpath來將/etc/lvm/.cache之中的項目連結至失效的特定 LUN。若要找出這些項目為何,請執行下列指令:ls -l /dev/mpath | grep [stale LUN]比方說,若[stale LUN]是 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 的話,以下結果就會出現:lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 -> ../dm-4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1 -> ../dm-5
這代表 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 被映對至兩個mpath連結:dm-4和dm-5。就其本身而言,下列行列應由/etc/lvm/.cache之中刪除掉:/dev/dm-4 /dev/dm-5 /dev/mapper/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 /dev/mapper/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1 /dev/mpath/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 /dev/mpath/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1
- 當執行
multipath指令以及-ll選項時,若其中有個路徑位於區塊裝置上的話,這可能會造成指令擱置。請注意,驅動程式不會在裝置不回應的一段時間後使一項請求失效。這是清除編碼所造成的,它會等待路徑檢查程式請求成功或是失敗。若要在不讓指令停滯的情況下顯示目前的multipath狀態,請使用multipath -l來代替。 - 若由 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta 版中的
pm-utils升級pm-utils套件的話,此動作將會失敗,並導致以下的錯誤:error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/pm/sleep.d: cpio: rename
若要避免此問題,請在升級前刪除/etc/pm/sleep.d/目錄。如果/etc/pm/sleep.d包含著任何檔案,請將這些檔案移動到/etc/pm/hooks/。 - Mellanox MT25204 的硬體測試顯示,在某些高負荷的情形下,會產生內部錯誤。當
ib_mthca驅動程式回報這硬體的嚴重錯誤時,通常會跟完成佇列的深度不足與使用者應用程式所產生的未完成工作需求有關。雖然這驅動程式會重置硬體,並從這類事件中復原,但所有現有連線會在發生錯誤時斷線。這通常會導致使用者應用程式的區段錯誤(segmentation fault)。還有,如果opensm在錯誤發生時執行的話,那麼為了繼續正常運作,您必須手動式地重新啟動該程序。 - 當在客座端上安裝 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 時,客座端會被配置成明確地使用一個由
dom0所提供的暫時性安裝 kernel。當安裝完成之後,它便可使用它自己的開機載入程式。不過,這只能透過關機來作為 guest's 的第一次重新啟動來完成。因為如此,當 重新啟動 的按鈕出現在客座端安裝完成後,若按下該按鈕只會關閉客座端而不會將系統重新啟動。這是項預期中的結果。請注意,在這之後當您啟動客座端時,它便會使用它自己的開機載入程式。 - 若安裝了任何 KDE 或是
qt開發套件(例如qt-devel)的話,在compiz來源 RPM 上執行rpmbuild將會失敗。這是因為compiz配置 script 中一個 bug 所造成的。若要解決此問題,請在嘗試由compiz的來源 RPM 建置compiz套件前移除所有 KDE 或是qt開發套件。 - 若您的系統配有 ATI Radeon R500 或是 R600 顯示卡的話,
firstboot在安裝完成後將不會執行。系統會直接進入圖形化登錄畫面並且跳過firstboot。若您嘗試手動式地執行firstboot(例如由 failsafe 終端機)的話,X session 便會當機。這項問題是因為 ATI Radeon R500/R600 硬體所使用的驅動程式所造成的。這些顯示卡所使用的預設驅動程式目前還屬於技術預覽。若要解決此問題,請備份您的/etc/X11/xorg.conf檔案;之後,請透過使用下列指令來利用受支援的vesa驅動程式來配置 X:system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa您現在已能夠執行firstboot。若要切換回您舊的設定,請復原您原本的/etc/X11/xorg.conf檔案。 - 若您的系統使用了 TSC 計時器,
gettimeofday系統調用可能會往後移。這是基於一個造成了 TSC 計時器在某些情況下會大幅往前跳的溢位問題;當此問題發生時,TSC 計時器將會自行更正,不過最後還是會隨著時間的經過往後移。這項問題對於時間敏感的系統(例如那些使用於進行交易和資料庫的系統)來說相當嚴重。正因如此,若您的系統需要非常準確的時間,Red Hat 強烈建議您將 kernel 設置成使用其它的計時器(比方說 HPET)。 - 嘗試執行
sniff可能會產生錯誤。這是因為有些必要的套件並未安裝dogtail。若要避免發生此問題,請手動式地安裝下列套件:- librsvg2
- ghostscript-fonts
- pygtk2-libglade
- 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.
- 在
/etc/multipath.conf中,若將max_fds設為unlimited將會造成multipathddaemon 無法正確啟動。正因如此,您應使用一個夠高的數值而非此設定。 - SystemTap 目前使用 GCC 來偵測用戶空間事件。不過 GCC 無法提供參數的確切位置清單資訊給除錯程式。某些情況下,GCC 也無法提供某些參數的能見度。這造成了偵測用戶空間的 SystemTap script 可能會回傳錯誤的資訊。
- IBM T41 型號的手提電腦無法正確進入 Suspend Mode(暫停模式);因為如此,暫停模式還是會照常耗費電池電量。這是因為 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 還未包含
radeonfb模組。若要解決此問題,請新增一個包含下列行列,名為hal-system-power-suspend的 script 至/usr/share/hal/scripts/中:chvt 1 radeontool light off radeontool dac off
這個 script 將可確保 IBM T41 手提電腦可正確地進入暫停模式。若要確保系統能夠正確地恢復正常作業,請新增包含著下列行列的restore-after-standbyscript 至相同的目錄中:radeontool dac on radeontool light on chvt 7
- 若
edac模組被載入的話,BIOS 記憶體回報便無法運作。這是因為edac模組會將 BIOS 使用來回報記憶體錯誤的寄存器清除掉。目前的 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Driver Update Model 就預設值會指示 kernel 載入所有可用的模組(包括edac模組)。若您希望確保 BIOS 記憶體回報在您系統上可運作,您需要手動式地將edac模組放入黑名單中。若要如此,請將下列行列附加至/etc/modprobe.conf檔案中:blacklist edac_mc blacklist i5000_edac blacklist i3000_edac blacklist e752x_edac
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 可偵測基本區塊裝置的線上增長或縮減。不過卻沒有能夠自動偵測裝置是否更改了大小的方式,因此您必須使用手動式的方式來進行辨識以及重設任何留駐於這些裝置上的檔案系統大小。當偵測到了已重設大小的區塊裝置,類似下列的訊息便會出現在系統日誌中:
VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sdi
若區塊裝置增加的話,那麼此訊息便可被忽略。不過若區塊裝置在沒有先行縮減任何設置於該區塊裝置上的資料的情況下縮減的話,那麼位於該裝置上的資料便會損毀。您只可為一個完全建立於 LUN(或是區塊裝置)上的檔案系統進行線上的大小重設。若是區塊裝置上含有一個分割表的話,那麼該檔案系統便必須被卸載才可更新分割表。 - 若您的系統掛載了 GFS2 檔案系統,被快取的 inode 在一個節點中被存取,而在一個不同的節點上卻被反連結的話,該節點將會停滯。當此情況發生時,停滯的節點將無法使用直到您透過正常的叢集復原機制來將它復原。
gfs2_dinode_dealloc和shrink_dcache_memory函式調用也會出現在任何卡在停滯節點中的程序的堆疊 trace 中。這項問題不會影響單節點的 GFS2 檔案系統。 - The following message may be encountered during system boot:
Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds. Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
This delay (which may be up to 10 seconds, dependant on the hardware configuration) is necessary to ensure that the kernel has completed scanning the disks. - 目前 ipmitool 中的 User Payload Access 實做能讓您配置裝置,不過並不允許您擷取這些裝置目前的設定。
- 在未設定
--maxsize參數的情況下在 kickstart 檔案中使用swap --grow參數會使得 anaconda 強迫設下一項 swap 分割區最大大小的限制。它會不允許 swap 填滿於裝置上。在一部配有少於 2GB 實體記憶體的系統上,被設置的限制為實體記憶體數量的兩倍。在某些配有了超過 2GB 的系統上,被設置的限制為實體記憶體大小加上 2GB。 - The
gfs2_convertprogram may not free up all blocks from the GFS metadata that are no longer used under GFS2. These unused metadata blocks will be discovered and freed the next time gfs2_fsck is run on the file system. It is recommended thatgfs2_fsckbe run after the filesystem has been converted to free the unused blocks. These unused blocks will be flagged by gfs2_fsck with messages such as:Ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 137 (0x89) Ondisk status is 1 (Data) but FSCK thinks it should be 0 (Free) Metadata type is 0 (free)
These messages do not indicate corruption in the GFS2 file system, they indicate blocks that should have been freed, but were not. The number of blocks needing to be freed will vary depending on the size of the file system and block size. Many file systems will not encounter this issue at all. Large file systems may have a small number of blocks (typically less than 100).
9.2. x86 Architectures
- When running the bare-metal (non-Virtualized) kernel, the X server may not be able to retrieve
EDIDinformation from the monitor. When this occurs, the graphics driver will be unable to display resolutions highers than 800x600.要解決這問題,請在/etc/X11/xorg.conf檔案的ServerLayout一節加入以下一行:Option "Int10Backend" "x86emu"
- Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- 開啟
alsamixer。 - 按下 Tab 鍵來在 View 欄位(位於選單的左上方)中切換為 [Capture]。
- 按下 Space 鍵。
- 您可透過檢查
ADCMux上方的文字是否顯現了L R CAPTUR來驗證錄音是否有被啟用。
- If encryption is enabled on the boot device during system installation, the following message will be logged during system boot:
padlock: VIA PadLock not detected.
This message can safely be ignored.
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.
- On an IBM T61 laptop, Red Hat recommends that you refrain from clicking the
glxgearswindow (whenglxgearsis run). Doing so can lock the system.若要避免此問題發生,請停用 tiling 功能。若要如此,請在/etc/X11/xorg.conf檔案的Device部份中加入下列行列:Option "Tiling" "0"
- Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- 開啟
alsamixer。 - 按下 Tab 鍵來在 View 欄位(位於選單的左上方)中切換為 [Capture]。
- 按下 Space 鍵。
- 您可透過檢查
ADCMux上方的文字是否顯現了L R CAPTUR來驗證錄音是否有被啟用。
- 若您的系統所使用的是 Intel 945GM 顯示卡的話,請勿使用
i810驅動程式。您應使用預設的intel驅動程式來代替。 - 在雙 GPU 的手提電腦上,若其中一個顯示晶片基於 Intel 的話,那麼 Intel 的圖形模式便無法進行任何外部的數位連線(包括 HDMI、DVI 以及 DisplayPort)。這是個 Intel GPU 的硬體問題。若您需要進行外部數位連線的話,請(在 BIOS 中)將您的系統設定為使用分離的顯示晶片。
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
之後,系統會警告使用者即將當機。您可以忽視這訊息,因為系統不會當機。 - Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- 開啟
alsamixer。 - 按下 Tab 鍵來在 View 欄位(位於選單的左上方)中切換為 [Capture]。
- 按下 Space 鍵。
- 您可透過檢查
ADCMux上方的文字是否顯現了L R CAPTUR來驗證錄音是否有被啟用。
- The size of the PPC kernel image is too large for OpenFirmware to support. Consequently, network booting will fail, resulting in the following error message:
Please wait, loading kernel... /pci@8000000f8000000/ide@4,1/disk@0:2,vmlinux-anaconda: No such file or directory boot:
To work around this:- Boot to the OpenFirmware prompt, by pressing the '8' key when the IBM splash screen is displayed.
- 執行下列指令:
setenv real-base 2000000
- 透過下列指令來進入 System Managment Services(系統管理服務,SMS)中:
0> dev /packages/gui obe
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:
- 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
vmurand convert the dump into a Linux-readable file usingvmconvert. - 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.若要在 IBM System z 上正確地進行 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 的初始設定,請在安裝後執行以下指令:
/usr/bin/setup— 由setuptool套件所提供。/usr/bin/rhn_register— 由rhn-setup套件所提供。
9.6. ia64 Architecture
- Some Itanium systems cannot properly produce console output from the
kexecpurgatorycode. This code contains instructions for backing up the first 640k of memory after a crash.雖然purgatory主控台輸出在進行問題診斷時相當有用,不過若要kdump正常運作卻無須使用到它。因為如此,所以若您的 Itanium 系統在進行kdump作業時重新啟動的話,請透過將--noio附加至/etc/sysconfig/kdump中的KEXEC_ARGS變數來停用purgatory中的主控台輸出。 - Running
perftestwill fail if different CPU speeds are detected. As such, you should disable CPU speed scaling before runningperftest. - When the
kdumpkernel is booted, the following error will appear in the boot log:mknod: /tmp/initrd.[numbers]/dev/efirtc: No such file or directory
這項錯誤的起源就是請求將efirtc建立於錯誤的路徑中。不過,問題中的裝置在kdump服務啟用時也已被靜態地建立於initramfs之中了。因為如此,裝置節點的 run-time 被重複建立、無傷害,並且應該不會影響到kdump的效能。 - Some systems may be unable to boot the
kdumpkernel properly. In such cases, use themachvec=digkernel parameter. - Recording needs to be manually enabled on Dell M4300 and M6300. To do this, perform the following steps:
- 開啟
alsamixer。 - 按下 Tab 鍵來在 View 欄位(位於選單的左上方)中切換為 [Capture]。
- 按下 Space 鍵。
- 您可透過檢查
ADCMux上方的文字是否顯現了L R CAPTUR來驗證錄音是否有被啟用。
- 在執行了 SELinux、基於 Intel Itanium 的系統上,
allow_unconfined_execmem_dyntrans或是allow_execmem布林值都必須被開啟才能讓 IA-32 執行層(ia32el服務)正確地進行作業。若allow_unconfined_execmem_dyntrans布林值被關閉,而allow_execmem布林值被開啟的話(此乃 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 中的預設值),ia32el 服務可支援 32 位元的模擬;然而,若這兩個布林值都被關閉的話,模擬則會失敗。

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.

The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable. FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be done when adding or deleting new users.

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.

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.
