RHBA-2007:0451 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
raidtools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated raidtools packages that address an overflow bug are now available.
Description
The raidtools package is used to create, manage, and monitor Linux MD
(software RAID) devices. As such, it provides similar functionality to the
mdadm package.
While raidtools is deprecated in favor of mdadm and would not normally be
updated, there are a few third party applications that make use of
raidtools specific programs for gathering information about the software
RAID subsystem on linux servers. This update resolves a bug that kept the
lsraid program from properly listing the server's RAID configuration
whenever any line of output in the /proc/mdstat file was more than 100
characters in length.
Users of raidtools should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
