Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdo packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The vdo packages provide Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO), which is a block virtualization technology that enables you to create compressed and deduplicated pools of block storage.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When a user created a new Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) volume with the --indexSparse=enabled option, a dense index was created on the volume instead of sparse. Consequently, space savings on the volume were smaller than expected. With this update, the VDO management software now correctly creates a sparse index with the --indexSparse=enabled option. (BZ#1572496)
  

Users of vdo 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.
