Topic

Updated parted packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The parted packages allow you to create, destroy, resize, move, and copy hard
disk partitions. The parted program can be used for creating space for new
operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, editing partitions on a mpath device udev could, under

certain circumstances, interfere with re-reading the partition table. This
update adds the dm_udev_wait option so that udev now correctly synchronizes.
(BZ#698121, BZ#751164)

  • Prior to this update, the libparted partition_duplicate() function did not

correctly copy all GPT partition flags. This update modifies the underlying code
so that all flags are correctly copied and adds a test to ensure correct
operation. (BZ#750395)

All parted users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.

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
