RHBA-2011:0509 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rgmanager package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The rgmanager package contains the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which
provides the ability to create and manage high-availability server applications
in the event of system downtime.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the fs.sh agent incorrectly attempted to run the

quotaoff command even when disk quotas were not enabled. Under certain
circumstances, this may have caused the agent to stop responding during a
service shutdown or relocation. This update applies a patch that prevents the
fs.sh agent from running the quotaoff command when disk quotas are not enabled.
As a result, the agent no longer stops responding during a service shutdown or
relocation. (BZ#694731)

• Due to an error in the reference count handling mechanism, previous version of

the Red Hat Resource Group Manager failed to unmount a partition when it was not
used by any service. With this update, the reference count handling for
clustered file systems has been corrected, and unused partitions are now
unmounted as expected. (BZ#701233)

All users of Red Hat Resource Group Manager are advised to upgrade to this
updated package, which fixes these bugs.

Solution

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

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
