Synopsis

device-mapper bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated device-mapper packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The device-mapper packages provide the dmsetup utility and libdevmapper library
required by logical volume management utilities such as LVM2 and dmraid.

The device-mapper packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.02.67, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#746300)

This update also fixes the following bug:

• The dmeventd daemon was not properly restarted after the package update.
  Consequently, dmeventd did not apply the newly updated libraries and continued
  using the old libraries. Therefore, logical volume monitoring failed and had to
  be re-activated because particular monitoring events were not handled as
  expected. With this update, dmeventd properly restarts after the package update
  so that updated libraries are applied and logical volumes are monitored as
  expected. (BZ#454618)
  

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated device-mapper packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.

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
