Topic

Updated corosync packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the corosync-notifyd daemon, with dbus output enabled, waited 0.5

seconds each time a message was sent through dbus. Consequently,
corosync-notifyd was extremely slow in producing output and memory of the
Corosync server grew. In addition, when corosync-notifyd was killed, its memory
was not freed. With this update, corosync-notifyd no longer slows down its
operation with these half-second delays and Corosync now properly frees memory
when an IPC client exits. (BZ#849553)

Users of corosync 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
