RHBA-2013:0095 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The gfs-utils packages provide various user-space tools necessary to mount,
create, maintain, and test Global File Systems (GFS).

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the gfs_fsck file system checker failed to detect "bad

indirect block pointer" corruptions due to incorrect error paths. This update
modifies the gfs_fsck error paths. Now, gfs_fsck detects and repairs corruptions
as expected. (BZ#788694)

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