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 that use the device-mapper
multipath kernel module to manage multipath devices.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the multipath kernel module was not checking entries in the

multipath section of the /etc/multipath.conf file for an alias before attempting
to read the alias. As a consequence, multipath terminated unexpectedly if
entries in the multipath section of /etc/multipath.conf did not have an alias.
With this update, multipath checks the existence of an alias prior to reading
it, and thus no longer crashes in the aforementioned situation. (BZ#1171013)

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.
