Topic

Updated gfs-kmod packages that fix a bug and module-loading issues
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, kernel release
2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.

Description

The gfs-kmod packages contain modules that provide the ability to mount and
use GFS file systems.

These updated packages fix the following bug:

  • a kernel panic when running the SPECsfs NFS testbed has been resolved.

As well, these updated gfs-kmod packages are in sync with kernel release
2.6.18-8.1.15.el5. The modules in earlier gfs-kmod packages failed to load
because they did not match the running kernel. It was possible to force
load the modules; however, with this update, users no longer need to.

Users are advised to upgrade to these latest gfs-kmod packages, which are
updated for use with the 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 kernel.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
