Topic

Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that fix one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath devices
using the device-mapper multipath kernel module.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, if the user created duplicate aliases, or aliases that matched the

user_friendly names, those devices switched their paths, and thus caused
multipath device path corruption. The underlying code has been fixed, and the
multipath utility now refuses to reload a device with an existing duplicate
alias. In addition, multipath now issues a warning message on potentially
conflicting aliases. As a result, multipath no longer corrupts data if users
name two devices identically. (BZ#1065229)

Users of device-mapper-multipath 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 use the Red
