grub bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated grub packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The grub packages provide Grand Unified Boot Loader (GRUB), a boot loader
capable of booting a wide variety of operating systems.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, GRUB read files stored on the ext4 file system inefficiently. As a
consequence, loading of the initial RAM file system (initramfs), which is
necessary for booting, took an excessive amount of time if the initramfs was
fragmented on more than five extents. With this update, GRUB detects extents
that have been already processed and does not read such extents repeatedly. As a
result, loading times of fragmented files on the ext4 file system are now
significantly lower. (BZ#1311474)
Users of grub 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.
