RHBA-2015:0683 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

GlusterFS is a key building block of Red Hat Storage. It is based on a stackable
user-space design and can deliver exceptional performance for diverse workloads.
GlusterFS aggregates various storage servers over network interconnections into
one large, parallel network file system.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the qemu-kvm utility could terminate unexpectedly with a

segmentation fault after the user attempted to create an image on GlusterFS
using the "qemu-img create" command. The glusterfs packages source code has been
modified to fix this bug, and qemu-kvm no longer crashes in the described
situation. (BZ#1204589)

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