Topic

Updated mdadm packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The mdadm packages contain a utility for creating, managing, and monitoring
Linux Multiple Disk devices.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the mdadm utility did not properly verify missing

devices when creating an IMSM array. Consequently, when mdadm attempted to
create an IMSM array with missing devices, it terminated unexpectedly with a
segmentation fault. With this update, missing devices are verified correctly and
creating an array with missing devices now works as intended. (BZ#1077131)

  • Previously, when the mdadm thread that monitored the reshaping operation of a

disk array was terminated by the SIGTERM signal, it did not clear the suspended
data region of the array. As a consequence, the data on the array could become
corrupted. With this update, the mdadm thread terminates cleanly and can no
longer cause data corruption. (BZ#1084676)

Users of mdadm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs.

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
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
