Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gfs-utils package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gfs-utils package provides various user-space tools necessary to mount,
create, maintain, and test Global File Systems (GFS).
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, metawalk.c did not correctly consider leaf continuation
blocks. As a result, the offline GFS file system checker (gfs_fsck) did not
correctly check file systems with 500,000 or more files. This update modifies
the fsck.gfs code so that gfs_fsck now also works on larger file systems.
(BZ#704328)
- Prior to this update, the gfs_mount(8) manual page did not list the recently
added the GFS mount options "-o noprefetch", "prefetch", "errors=panic", and
"errors=withdraw". This update adds these GFS mount options. (BZ#766646)
All users of gfs-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes 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
