Topic

Updated tuned packages that fix several bugs and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The tuned packages contain a daemon that tunes system settings dynamically. It
does so by monitoring the usage of several system components periodically.

These updated tuned packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space
precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed
to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Technical Notes for information on the most
significant of these changes:

http://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.5_Technical_Notes/tuned.html#RHBA-2013-1623

Users of tuned are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs and add this enhancement.
