Topic
An updated rhel-guest-image package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The rhel-guest-image package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 KVM Guest
Image for cloud instances. This image is provided as a minimally configured
system image which is available for use as-is or for configuration and
customization as required by end users.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- With this update, the root file system of Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest
images (qcow2) has been increased in size. This increase does not affect the
qcow2 compressed image size, and allows more versatile use of the qcow2 images.
