RHBA-2019:2095 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for edac-utils is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The edac-utils packages contain Error Detection and Correction (EDAC), the current set of drivers in the Linux kernel that handles detection of ECC errors from memory controllers for most chipsets on the 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The user-space component consists of an init script which ensures that EDAC drivers and Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) labels are loaded at system startup, as well as a library and utility for reporting current error counts from the EDAC sysfs files.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Users of edac-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
