RHBA-2014:0047 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated glusterfs packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat Storage is software-only, scale-out storage that provides flexible
and affordable unstructured data storage for an enterprise. GlusterFS, a
key building block of Red Hat Storage, is based on a stackable user-space
design and can deliver exceptional performance for diverse workloads.
GlusterFS aggregates various storage servers over network interconnects
into one large, parallel network file system.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When trying to mount a remote gluster share using the

"backupvolfile-server" option, the process failed and returned an "Invalid
argument" error message. A new mount point option, backup-volfile-servers,
has been added to provide backward compatibility and allows remote gluster
shares to be mounted successfully. (BZ#1052381)

Users of glusterfs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
