Topic

Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that fix one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath devices
by giving the "dm-multipath" kernel module instructions on what to do, as well
as by managing the creation and removal of partitions for Device-Mapper devices.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • After acquiring their resource locks, multipathd's threads did not check if

they were canceled before accessing their resources. This caused multipathd to
close with a segmentation fault on shutdown, if a thread attempted to access a
resource after it was canceled. Now all multipathd threads check if they are
canceled before accessing their resources. (BZ#704470)

All users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

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

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