RHBA-2011:1574 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ctdb packages that fix multiple bugs and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ctdb packages provide a clustered database based on Samba's Trivial Database
(TDB) used to store temporary data.

The ctdb packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.0.114, which provides
a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#701944)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the ctdb daemon leaked a file descriptor to
