RHBA-2011:0055 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ctdb package that fixes various bugs is now available.

Description

CTDB is a clustered database based on Samba's Trivial Database (TDB). The ctdb
package is a cluster implementation used to store temporary data. If an
application is already using TBD for temporary data storage, it can be very
easily converted to be cluster-aware and use CTDB.

This updated ctdb package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• When installing the ctdb package, the tdb-tools package needs to be installed

manually. This dependency issue will be addressed in a future release.
(BZ#526479)

• With this update, the ctdb package version matches the version of the samba3x

package. (BZ#611854)

Please note that it is not possible to do a rolling update of a cluster (i.e.
update one server while the others are online) from the previous version
ctdb-1.0.82 to the current ctdb-1.0.112. All nodes of a cluster must be shut
down before the update. After all nodes are updated, the cluster can be started
again.

All users of ctdb are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
