RHBA-2013:0059 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ctdb packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

CTDB is a clustered database based on Samba's Trivial Database (TDB). The ctdb
package is a cluster implementation used to store temporary data. If an
application is already using TBD for temporary data storage, it can be very
easily converted to be cluster-aware and use CTDB.

These updated ctdb packages fix the following bug:

• Due to a name conflict of tools provided by the samba and tdb-tools packages,

some binaries from the tdb-tools have to be renamed upon installation. The ctdb
init script did not contain the updated names for the tdb-tools utilities.
Consequently, the ctdb service could not be started via the init script. This
update corrects the ctdb init script to search for tdb-tools utilities under
their new name. (BZ#739502)

All users of ctdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
