Audit Aktualisierung
The audit packages contain user-space utilities for storing and searching the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel.
These updated packages upgrade the auditd daemon and its utilities to the newer upstream version 1.7.7, which provides the following enhancements over the previous version:
  • the auditctl program, which is used to control the behavior of the audit subsystem, now supports multiple keys in the audit rules.
  • a new utility, ausyscall, which is used to cross-reference syscall name and number information, is now provided in these updated packages.
  • the aureport program has been enhanced to provide reports about keys it sees in audit events.
  • event log parsing for the ausearch and aureport programs has been improved.
  • a sample STIG rules file, named "stig.rules", is newly provided in these updated packages. This file contains the auditctl rules which are loaded whenever the audit daemon is started by init scripts.
In addition to the listed enhancements, these updated audit packages also include a new feature to allow a server to aggregate the logs of remote systems. The following instructions can be followed to enable this feature:
  1. The audispd-plugins package should be installed on all clients (but need not be installed on the server), and the parameters for "remote_server" and "port" should be set in the /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf configuration file.
  2. On the server, which aggregates the logs, the "tcp_listen_port" parameter in the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file must be set to the same port number as the clients.
  3. Because the auditd daemon is protected by SELinux, semanage (the SELinux policy management tool) must also have the same port listed in its database. If the server and client machines had all been configured to use port 1000, for example, then running this command would accomplish this: 
    semanage port -a -t audit_port_t -p tcp 1000

  4. The final step in configuring remote log aggregation is to edit the /etc/hosts.allow configuration file to inform tcp_wrappers which machines or subnets the auditd daemon should allow connections from.
wpa_supplicant re-base
wpa_supplicant has been re-based to the latest upstream stable version 0.5.10 and include backported fixes for a number of issues that may affect users of wireless drivers that depend on the kernel's mac80211 wireless stack. Specific fixes and enhancements include:
  • Support for a D-Bus control interface has been added. D-Bus is a popular lightweight Inter-Process Communication mechanism, and the addition of this control interface to wpa_supplicant allows applications (like NetworkManager) to more reliably control the supplicant.
  • Cisco Aironet 340/350 wireless cards were not able to successfully connect to 802.1x-enabled wireless networks, often used in security sensitive organizations. During the connection process at the 4-Way WPA handshake stage, sending encryption keys to the driver would clear the wireless card firmware's authentication state. With this update, the supplicant uses an alternate method of supplying encryption keys to the kernel driver, allowing authentication state to be preserved in the Aironet firmware and 802.1x connections to succeed.
  • Kernel drivers utilizing the new mac80211 wireless stack were sometimes unable to connect to wireless networks, either failing to find the requested network, or prematurely ending communication with the wireless access point during the connection process. Some drivers were prone to reporting multiple disconnection events during the association process, confusing the supplicant and causing long timeouts. The supplicant also did not sufficiently instruct the driver to disconnect when switching access points. This update fixes these issues and, in conjunction with kernel driver updates, allow more wireless hardware to successfully connect to wireless networks.
NetworkManager re-base
NetworkManager has been updated to version 0.7.0. This update provides the following fixes and enhancements:
  • NetworkManager would not display a LEAP password, even when the user selected the "show password" option. This has been fixed through a rebase to NetworkManager 0.7.
  • During the beta phase, a version of NetworkManager was unable to automatically start network interfaces for which "ONBOOT=no" was present in the ifcfg file. NetworkManager now ignores this value unless "NM_RESPECT_ONBOOT=yes" is also present.
  • a NetworkManager plug-in was named for its upstream repository. This could cause end-users to mistake the plug-in for an un-supported addition to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This plug-in has been renamed to "ifcfg-rh".
  • with this update, support has been added to NetworkManager for wired 802.1x authentication. However, after creating an 802.1x-enabled wired connection in the NetworkManager connection editor, it may be necessary to log out, then log back in before the connection can be used from the NetworkManager applet menu.
  • NetworkManager attempted to set a hostname, but only after X had already done so. The user could not then open new windows because the authority files had been set by X with a different hostname. NetworkManager no longer sets hostnames.
  • an update for NetworkManager that was available in the beta phase would change the run level enablement of the package during installation, and thus prevent NetworkManager from starting. NetworkManager no longer changes run level enablements during installation.
  • on a system with more than one network adapter, network keys saved by the user while connecting with one adapter would not be available when the user attempted to connect with the other adapter. NetworkManager can now retrieve and use network keys saved for a different adapter on the same network.
  • previously, NetworkManager would not always prompt the user for a new network key if the protocol or key of a wireless network changed. Although NetworkManager would wait for a new key, it would not always open a dialog box and allow the user to provide one. NetworkManager will now open a dialog box when needed.
  • several bug fixes and enhancements for NetworkManager were available upstream. NetworkManager has been rebased to version 0.7 to incorporate these improvements, including mobile broadband functionality, Phase2 WPA support, and static IP functionality.
  • NetworkManager would would cause a segmentation fault when resuming a session. This was caused by the HAL dropping privileges before connecting to D-Bus, meaning that the HAL could not send signals to NetworkManager. NetworkManager now explicitly permits signals from the HAL.
  • sometimes, X would freeze if the NetworkManager menu and a keyring manager window were open at the same time. This updated package includes a patch from upstream that prevents this behavior.
  • if NetworkManager requires a network key from the user, it will open a pop-up window. However, the applet previously could not steal focus from metacity and would remain in the background. The window was therefore not obvious to the user. The applet now opens in the foreground, alerting the user to take action.
  • when resuming, NetworkManager could sometimes re-establish a wireless connection, but not a route. A fix for this problem from upstream has been included in this update.
  • NetworkManager did not previously support Cisco Airo Wi-Fi cards, as these devices did not respond to NetworkManager's attempts to detect them. NetworkManager can now detect and use these cards.
  • the NetworkManager applet would wake up and redraw its icon once per second, even when NetworkManager was not active. Now, the applet will not wake up unless NetworkManager is running.
  • NetworkManager 0.7 connects faster than libnotify can provide a notification bubble. When this happens, the bubble will appear at the top left corner of the screen, rather than under the taskbar. NetworkManager notification bubbles are now delayed for a few seconds, allowing libnotify to react.
dbus-glib re-base
The dbus-glib integration library has been re-based to version 0.73.8 This update provides support to updated versions of NetworkManager and also implements the following bugfix and enhancements
  • cleanup of the DBusGProxy objects treated pending remote method calls incorrectly and may have resulted in freeing invalid memory. Consequently, processes using DBusGProxy objects may have crashed when the DBusGProxy object was freed. With this update dbus-glib correctly handles the destruction of DBusGProxy objects, resolving this issue.
  • two new function calls, dbus_g_proxy_call_with_timeout and dbus_g_proxy_begin_call_with_timeout, have been added to dbus-glib providing the ability to specify a timeout when making a request to a remote service.
  • dbus-binding-tool now ignores namespaced Extensible Markup Language (XML) nodes when processing introspection definition files.
Sudo Aktualisierung
sudo wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf Upstream Version 1.6.9. Diese Version von sudo unterstützt nun LDAP, und ermöglicht das Suchen nach sudo-Rechten auch im Unterbaum, statt nur der Basis-Suche (d.h. nur Baum-Ebene). Dies ermöglicht es Administratoren, sudo-Rechte in einem Baum zu kategorisieren, was wiederum die Handhabung der Benutzerprivilegien vereinfacht.

Anmerkung

the env_reset sudoers option from newer sudo will reset the PATH environment variable. This is different from the behaviour in sudo-1.9.8. To keep the old behaviour simply add PATH variable into env_keep in sudoers file.
LVM-based Cluster mirroring
With this update, the ability to create LVM mirrors in a cluster environment (i.e. while using CLVM) is now available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux It provides for simultaneous access from multiple cluster machines, like when using a cluster-aware file system. This solution is compatible with existing single-machine mirrors. When switching a mirrored logical volume between single-machine and cluster-aware, no resynchronization is necessary.

1.2. Resolved Issues
Link kopieren

  • system-config-network requires the fonts provided with xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 in order to display. However, this fonts package was not previously set as a dependency for system-config-network and it was therefore possible (for example, in the case of a minimal installation) for system-config-network to be present on a system and yet unable to function because these fonts were missing. This update sets xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 as a dependency for system-config-network to ensure that these fonts will be available and that system-config-network will display correctly.
  • In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, a 64-bit version of httpd was included in addition to the existing 32-bit httpd in the PowerPC architecture. If a user installed both versions, an httpd conflict would occur, preventing httpd from functioning properly.
    To resolve this issue, the 64-bit version of httpd has been removed from this release. Any systems with the previous 64-bit version of httpd installed should remove the package before upgrade.

1.3. Driver Updates
Link kopieren

  • the SCSI device handler infrastructure (scsi_dh) has been updated, providing added support for LSI RDAC SCSI based storage devices.
  • the tg3 driver for Broadcom Tigon3 ethernet devices has been updated to version 3.93. This applies several upstream changes for new hardware. However, the 5785 hardware is not fully supported. This device may be detected by the driver, but lack of PHY support may cause these chips to not function correctly and may require the user disable any on-board 5785 cards in the system BIOS.
  • scsi-target-utils now features iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER), which is based on the Linux Target (tgt) framework. iSER is included in this release as a Technology Preview, and provides capabilities for both single and multiple portals on different subnets. Note, however, that there are known bugs with using multiple portals on the same subnet.
    To set up an iSER target component, install the scsi-target-utils and libibverbs-devel packages. The corresponding library package for your system's Infiniband hardware is also required. For example, in HCAs that use the cxgb3 driver the libcxgb3 package is needed, and for HCAs using the mthca driver the libmthca package is need.
  • The MPT Fusion driver has been updated to version 3.04.06, providing the following bugfixes and enhancements:
    • Previously, the MPT Fusion driver always allocated I/O resources, even if they were not required, which may have caused issues in low resource environments. With this update, the driver now uses the pci_enable_device_mem and pci_enable_device functions to differentiate the resource allocations.
    • Previously, the kernel would panic when the mptsas and mptcl modules were loaded in parallel. With this update, this issue has been resolved.
    • Previously, system power state changes (such as hibernation and standby) were not functioning correctly with 106XE controllers. With this update, the driver has been modified to free and allocate resources in power management entry points.

1.4. Virtualization
Link kopieren

  • Ein Fehler im IDE/ATA Treiberstapel, der ein kernel-xen verwendendes Systemvom Booten in die kdump-Umgebung hindern konnte, wurde jetzt behoben. In früheren Releases trat dieser auf, wenn das System auf eine Kernel Panik traf während das IDE-Gerät I/O durchführte und das IDE-Gerät durch einen Gerätetreiber gesteuert wurde, bei dem es sich nicht um libata handelte.
  • A softlockup may have occurred when creating a guest with a large amount of memory. Consequently, a call trace of the error was displayed on both the dom0 and the other guest. In this update, this issue has been resolved.
  • On systems with large amounts of memory (ie 256GB or more), setting up the dom0 could exhaust the hypervisor memory heap. To work around this, the xenheap and dom0_size command line arguments had to be set to valid values for the system. In this update, the hypervisor has been updated to automatically set these values to a default of 32GB, which resolves this issue.
  • Due to technical problems with passing TX checksum offload information between paravirtual domains, the use of TX checksum offload in conjunction with NAT for traffic originating from another domain is not supported. TX checksum offload can be used together with NAT as long as the NAT rule is applied in the domain where the traffic originates.
    Note that this also applies to fully virtualised domains using paravirtual network drivers. Fully virtualised domains using fully virtualised drivers are not affected as they do not support TX checksum offload at all.

1.5. Known Issues
Link kopieren

  • Previous versions of the 5.3 Release Notes stated that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM unit on Dell PowerEdge R905 servers does not work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This note was included by error, and does not apply to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
  • kdump now serializes drive creation registration with the rest of the kdump process. Consequently, kdump may hang waiting for IDE drives to be initialized. In these cases, it is recommended that IDE disks not be used with kdump.
  • Improvements have been made to the 'nv' driver, enhancing suspend and resume support on some systems equipped with nVidia GeForce 8000 and 9000 series devices. Due to technical limitations, this will not enable suspend/resume on all hardware.
  • pirut sorts some package lists using the textual representation of a package, which is inconsistent with the textual representation method used in yum. As such, some package lists (e.g. Optional Packages list) in pirut may not display names in alphabetical order.
  • The Hypervisor outputs messages regarding attempts by any guest to write to an MSR. Such messages contain the statement Domain attempted WRMSR. These messages can be safely ignored; furthermore, they are rate limited and should pose no performance risk.
  • When upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Workstation to 5 Server, OpenOffice will no longer work correctly with SELinux. This is because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version of OpenOffice is built using an incorrect library. As a result, SELinux will prevent OpenOffice from accessing any shared libraries, causing OpenOffice to fail.
    To work around this, update the SELinux context to allow OpenOffice to access shared libraries. To do so, run the following commands:
    semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/ooo-1.1(/.*)?'
    semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib64/ooo-1.1(/.*)?'
    restorecon -Rv /usr/lib/ooo-1.19
    restorecon -Rv /usr/lib64/ooo-1.19
    Alternatively, you can also upgrade your OpenOffice to a correct version compatible with SELinux in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. You can do this by subscribing to the "Productivity App" child channel in Red Hat Network and running the following command:
    yum install openoffice-{base,calc,draw,emailmerge,graphicfilter,headless,impress,javafilter,math,pyuno,writer,xsltfilter}
  • If jumbo frames are enabled on your system, a kernel panic will occur if you attempt to unload the bnx2 module.
  • Red Hat advises that you avoid removing a block device from a guest while the device is in use. Doing so causes Xend to lose domain information for the guest.
  • Accessing the right-click menu of the NetworkManager GNOME applet may cause the GNOME Keyring Unlock dialog to appear. When this occurs, no XII applications can receive keyboard or mouse input.
    To recover from this, switch to a virtual terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1. Log in as the affected user (or root) and run killall -9 nm-applet. Then, switch back to X11 using Ctrl+Alt+F7. Your system should be able to receive keyboard and mouse input, although Red Hat recommends that you logout and login again to allow the system to fully recover.
  • On Altix systems with an ATI FireMV graphics adapter, the GUI console may not display on one of the VGA connectors. To workaround this issue, switch to using the other VGA connector on the dongle.
  • It has been determined that 1024 byte objects in kernel slab may be lost when a call to pipe() fails. The problem occurs because pipe() allocates pipe files, and then tries to get free file descriptors for them. If the process is out of file descriptors, pipe() fails, but it does not clean up properly. A fix for this problem is planned for a forthcoming 5.3 kernel update.
    To workaround this issue, ensure that the process calling do_pipe has adequate file descriptors allocated.
    This issue has been observed with multipathd in particular. To avoid the problem with multipathd, calculate the number of file descriptors (FDs) required using the formula: "FDs = Number of Paths + 32". If the result is greater than the default value of 1024, then the max_fds value in the defaults section of multipath.conf should be set to the previously calculated value. For example, if there are 255 LUNs with 8 paths each, the line to be added to the defaults section of multipath.conf would be: 
    	max_fds  2072

  • The libcmpiutil-devel package depends on tog-pegasus-devel, which for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop product is only available from the Workstation option. Therefore, any attempt to install the libcmpiutil-devel package on a system that does not have a Subscription including the Workstation option or is not subscribed to the Workstation channel on the Red Hat Network, will fail with an unresolved dependency error.
  • It is possible in rare circumstances, for makedumpfile to produce erroneous results but not have them reported. This is due to the fact that makedumpfile processes its output data through a pipeline consisting of several stages. If makedumpfile fails, the other stages will still succeed, effectively masking the failure. Should a vmcore appear corrupt, and makedumpfile is in use, it is recommended that the core be recorded without makedumpfile and a bug be reported.
  • An issue may be encountered when using system-config-cluster to configure a Postgres 8 resource agent, resulting in the postgresql service failing to start. To include a Postgres resource agent in your cluster, please check the man page for the agent, and edit the cluster.conf file in an editor, then update the cluster with the new configuration file using the appropriate cman_tool command.
  • Due to outstanding driver issues with hardware encryption acceleration, users of Intel WiFi Link 4965, 5100, 5150, 5300, and 5350 wireless cards are advised to disable hardware accelerated encryption using module parameters. Failure to do so may result in the inability to connect to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protected wireless networks after connecting to WiFi Protected Access (WPA) protected wireless networks.
    To do so, add the following options to /etc/modprobe.conf: 
    alias wlan0 iwlagn
options iwlagn swcrypto50=1 swcrypto=1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    (where wlan0 is the default interface name of the first Intel WiFi Link device)
  • kdump now restarts when CPUs or DIMMs are hot-added to a system. If multiple items are added at the same time, several sequential restarts may be encountered. This behavior is intentional, as it minimizes the time-frame where a crash may occur while memory or processors are not being tracked by kdump.

1.6. Technology Previews
Link kopieren

Software based Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) driver (fcoe.ko), along with libfc, provides the ability to run FCoE over a standard Ethernet card. This capability is provided as a technical preview in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
To enable this feature, you must login by writing the network interface name to the /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create file, for example: 
echo eth6 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/create
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
To logout, write the network interface name to the /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/destroy file, for example: 
echo eth6 > /sys/module/fcoe/parameters/destroy
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
For further information on software based FCoE refer to: http://www.open-fcoe.org/openfc/wiki/index.php/FCoE_Initiator_Quickstart.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 bietet vollständigen Support für FCoE auf drei spezialisierten Hardware Implementierungen. Diese sind: Cisco fnic-Treiber, der Emulex lpfc-Treiber und der Qlogic qla2xx-Treiber.
iSER Support
iSER support, allowing for block storage transfer across a network, has been added to the scsi-target-utils package as a Technology Preview. In this release, single portal and multiple portals on different subnets are supported. There are known bugs when using multiple portals on the same subnet.
To set up the iSER target component install the scsi-target-utils and libibverbs-devel RPM. The library package for the InfiniBand hardware that is being used is also required. For example: host channel adapters that use the cxgb3 driver the libcxgb3 package is needed, and for host channel adapters using the mthca driver the libmthca package is needed.
There is also a known issue relating to connection timeouts in some situations. Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla #470627 for more information on this issue.

3. Feature Updates
Link kopieren

Verschlüsselung von Blockgeräten
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 unterstützt die Verschlüsselung von Blockgeräten unter Verwendung der Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Spezifikationen. Die Verschlüsselung eines Gerätes schützt alle auf dem Blockgerät enthaltenen Daten gegen unbefugten Zugriff, selbst wenn das Gerät physikalisch vom System getrennt wird. Um auf den Inhalt eines verschlüsselten Gerätes zugreifen zu können, muss der Benutzer ein Passwort oder einen Schlüssel als Authentifikation eingeben.
Für weitere Information über das Verschlüsseln von Platten, werfen Sie bitte einen Blick auf Kapitel 28 des Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installationshandbuchs unter: http://redhat.com/docs/
mac80211 802.11a/b/g WiFi Protokollstapel (mac80211)
Der mac80211-Stapel (früher als devicescape/d80211-Stapel bekannt) ist in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 nun ein unterstütztes Feature. Er aktiviert den iwlwifi 4965GN Wireless-Treiber für Intel Wifi Link 4965 Hardware. Dieser Stapel ermöglicht bestimmten Wireless-Geräten, sich mit einem beliebigen WiFi-Netzwerk zu verbinden.
Obwohl die mac80211 Komponente in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 unterstützt wird, sind die Symbole jedoch nicht in der Symbol-Whitelist für den Kernel enthalten.
Global File System 2 (GFS2)
GFS2 stellt eine inkrementelle Verbesserung von GFS dar. Diese Aktualisierung setzt einige wichtige Verbesserung um, die eine Änderung des On-Disk-Dateisystem-Formats erfordern. GFS-Dateisysteme können mit dem Dienstprogramm gfs2_convert in GFS2 konvertiert werden, welches die Metadaten eines GFS-Dateisystems entsprechend aktualisiert.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 wurde GFS2 als Kernel-Modul zu Testzwecken zur Verfügung gestellt. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 ist GFS2 nun Teil des Kernel-Pakets. Falls Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 GFS2 Kernel-Module bereits installiert sind, müssen diese entfernt werden, um die Verwendung von GFS2 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 zu ermöglichen.
Verbesserungen der Unterstützung von Treiber-Datenträgern
Ein Treiber-Datenträger, bereitgestellt vom OEM, ist eine einzelne Image-Datei (*.img), welche eventuell mehrere Treiber-RPMs und Kernel-Module enthält. Diese Treiber werden während der Installation verwendet, um andernfalls nicht erkannte Hardware zu unterstützen. Die RPMs werden auf dem System installiert und in die initrd abgelegt, so dass sie beim Neustart des Rechners unterstützt werden.
Bei Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 kann die Installation anhand der Dateisystem-Kennung automatisch das Vorhandensein eines Treiber-Datenträgers erkennen, und dessen Inhalt während der Installation verwenden. Dieses Verhalten wird in der Befehlszeile der Installation gesteuert durch die Option dlabel=on, welche die automatische Suche aktiviert. Alle Blockgeräte mit der Dateisystem-Kennung OEMDRV werden untersucht und gefundene Treiber in der Reihenfolge des Antreffens geladen.
iSCSI Boot Firmware Table
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 unterstützt nun vollständig die iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT), was das Starten von iSCSI Geräten ermöglicht. Diese Unterstützung erfordert, dass die iSCSI Platten (Knoten) nicht mehr für einen automatischen Start markiert sind. Das installierte System wird nicht mehr automatisch verbinden und auf iSCSI Platten einloggen beim Wechsel zum Runlevel 3 oder 5.
iSCSI wird normalerweise für das Root Dateisystem verwendet. In diesem Fall ist diese Änderung unerheblich, denn initrd wird sich mit den nötigen iSCSI Platten verbinden und einloggen, noch bevor ein Wechsel auf Runlevel erfolgt.
Falls jedoch iSCSI Platten bei Nicht-Root Verzeichnissen eingehängt werden müssen, z.B. /home or /srv, dann wird sich diese Änderung auf Sie auswirken, denn das installierte System wird sich nicht mehr automatisch verbinden und einloggen auf iSCSI Platten, die nicht für das Root Dateisystem verwendet werden.
Das Verwenden von iSCSI Platten, welche an Nicht-Root Dateisysteme angehängt sind, ist zwar noch immer möglich, erfordert aber eine der folgenden provisorischen Lösungen:
  1. Installieren Sie das System, ohne dass iSCSI Platten an Nicht-Root Verzeichnisse angehängt sind, und konfigurieren Sie später die erforderlichen Platten und Anhänge-Punkte (?)manuell.
  2. Starten Sie das installierte System auf Runlevel 1, und markieren Sie alle iSCSI Platten, die nicht für das Root Dateisystem zum automatischen Starten verwendet werden, indem Sie folgenden Befehl einmal pro Platte ausführen:
    iscsiadm -m node -T target-name -p ip:port -o update -n node.startup -v automatic
Rhythmbox
Der rhythmbox Audio Player wurde aktualisiert auf Version 0.11.6. Diese Aktualisierung bietet die Möglichkeit, proprietäre GStreamer-Plugins zu verwenden.
lftp Aktualisierung
lftp wurde nun grundlegend aktualisiert auf Version 3.7.1. Dies führt zu einigen Upstream-Feature-Aktualisierungen und Bugfixes, einschließlich:
  • Eine Sicherheitslücke, die beim Interpretieren von mirror --script-generierten Skripten mit lftp eine mögliche unauthorisierte Privileg-Eskalation verursachte, wurde nun geschlossen.
  • Das Verwenden von lftp mit der Option -c führt nicht mehr zum Aufhängen von lftp.
  • lftp beschädigt keine Dateien mehr während eines Transfers via sftp.
For more information on lftp updates applied in this release, refer to http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html.
TTY Input Auditing
TTY Input Auditing wird nun unterstützt. Falls ein Prozess für TTY Input Auditing vorgesehen ist, werden Daten von TTYs gelesen und überprüft. Dies wird auf den Audit Records erscheinen als TypTTY.
Sie können das pam_tty_audit-Modul verwenden, um einen Prozess (samt Kindprozessen) für TTY Input Auditing zu kennzeichnen. Für eine Anleitung zur Durchführung, konsultieren Sie die Handbuchseite via man pam_tty_audit(8).
Die TTY Audit Records enthalten die genauen Tastenanschläge die vom überprüften Prozess registriert wurden. Um das Auswerten der Daten zu vereinfachen, überprüft bash die genaue Befehlszeile unter Verwendung des Record-Typs USER_TTY.
The "TTY" audit records contain all data read by audited processes from the TTY. This includes data inserted into the input stream by the TIOCSTI ioctl system call.
SystemTap Aktualisierung
SystemTap wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf Version 0.7.2. Diese Aktualisierung führt mehrere kleine Verbesserungen ein, sowie auch einige bedeutende Features. Diese neuen Features beinhalten:
  • SystemTap unterstützt nun das symbolische Überprüfen auf x86, x86-64 und PowerPC Architekturen. Dies ermöglicht es SystemTap Scripts, Überprüfungsprozesse in User Space Anwendungen sowie in gemeinsam genutzten Bibliotheken zu platzieren. Infolgedessen kann SystemTap nun das gleiche Level an Debugger Überprüfung bei einigen User Space Anwendungen leisten, wie auch bei der Kernel Überprüfung.
    Wenn beispielsweise coreutils-debuginfo installiert ist, können Sie einen Call Graph ausgeben des Befehls ls unter Verwendung von /usr/share/doc/systemtap-version/examples/general/callgraph.stp, wie in:
    stap para-callgraph.stp 'process("ls").function("*")' -c 'ls -l'
    Um die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer unentdeckten Abweichung zwischen der Binärdatei und deren Debuginfo RPMs zu verringern, empfiehlt Red Hat die SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH Umgebungsvariable auf den Wert +:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build zu setzen.
    SystemTap's support for symbolic probes also extends to markers placed into the kernel of this release. To use these markers, load the kernel-trace kernel module in /etc/rc.local (using modprobe kernel-trace).
  • SystemTap unterstützt auch entfernte (oder remote) Kompilierungsdienste. Dies ermöglicht es einem einzigen Computer im Netzwerk, als ein Debuginfo/Compiler Server für lokale SystemTap Clients zu fungieren. Die Clients lokalisieren automatisch den Server mithilfe von mDNS (avahi), und benötigen nur die systemtap-client- und systemtap-runtime-Pakete zum funktionieren.
    Zur Zeit verwendet dieses Feature keine Sicherheitsmechanismen wie z.B. Verschlüsselung. Daher ist es ratsam, entfernte (oder remote) Kompilierungsdienste nur innerhalb von vertrauenswürdigen Netzwerken zu benutzen. Bitte konsultieren Sie die Handbuchseite via man stap-server für weitere Informationen.
  • Die Kernel-Aktualisierung für diese Version enthält eine Kernel-API-Erweiterung, die das Beenden von SystemTap-Scripts deutlich verbessert. Diese zusätzliche Kernel-API-Erweiterung beseitigt die unnötige Synchronisation zwischen einzelne Operationen zur Entfernung von Überprüfungsprozessen. Demzufolge werden SystemTab Scripts mit hunderten von Kernel Überprüfungsprozessen nun deutlich schneller abgearbeitet.
    Dies ist insbesondere nützlich für Administratoren, die Scripts mit Überprüfungsprozessen verwenden, welche Wildcards enthalten und daher zahlreiche Kernel Ereignisse festhalten, wie z.B probe syscall.* {}.
Für eine umfassende Liste von SystemTap Aktualisierungen in dieser Version, besuchen Sie bitte die folgende URL:
http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob_plain;f=NEWS;hb=rhel53
Cluster Manager Aktualisierung
Das Cluster Manager Dienstprogramm (cman) wurde aktualisiert auf Version 2.0.97. Diese Aktualisierung enthält mehrere Bugfixes und Verbesserungen, insbesondere:
  • cman verwendet nun die folgenden Firmware Versionen:APC AOS v3.5.7 und APC rpdu v3.5.6. Das behebt einen Fehler, der APC 7901 daran hinderte, das "Simple Network Management Protocol" (SNMP) ordnungsgemäß anzuwenden.
  • fence_drac, fence_ilo, fence_egenera, und fence_bladecenter-Agenten unterstützen nun ssh.
  • fence_xvmd-Schlüsseldateien können nun ohne Neustart neu geladen werden.
  • Eine einzige Methode zur Abgrenzung kann nun bis zu 8 Geräte zur Abgrenzung unterstützen.
RPM Aktualisierung
Der RedHat Package Manager (RPM) wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf die Fedora 9 Upstream Version. rpm bietet nun sekundäre, architekturspezifische Makro-Dateien auf Multi-Arch Systemen. Außerdem entspricht rpm nun allen Zertifizierungs-Kriterien für die Aufnahme in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Diese Aktualisierung enthält zudem mehrere Upstream Verbesserungen und Bugfixes für rpm, einschließlich:
  • rpm generiert keine unnötigen .rpmnew und .rpmsave-Dateien mehr auf Multi-Arch-Systemen.
  • Ein Fehler in der rpmgiNext() Funktion von rpm verhinderte ordnungsgemäße Fehlerberichte. In dieser Aktualisierung wird nun die korrekte Semantik für Fehlerberichte angewendet und dadurch sichergestellt, dass rpm in jedem Fall den richtigen Exit Code wiedergibt.
Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) / opensm
opensm wurde aktualisiert auf die Upstream Version 3.2, einschließlich einer kleineren Änderung an der opensm Programmbibliothek API.
  • Das Format der opensm.conf-Datei wurde geändert. Falls Sie individuelle Modifikationen an Ihrem vorhandenen opensm.conf vorgenommen hatten, wird RPM automatisch die neue opensm.conf-Datei als /etc/ofed/opensm.conf.rpmnew installieren. Sie müssen daher Ihre Modifikationen in diese Datei migrieren, und anschließend die vorhandene opensm.conf-Datei mit dem Ergebnis ersetzen.
  • Red Hat verfolgt die Code-Basis der Upstream Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED), um ein möglichst hohes Level an Funktionalität für diese noch in der Entwicklung begriffende Technologie zu bieten. Infolgedessen kann Red Hat die API/ABI-Kompatibilität nur über Nebenversionen erhalten, in demselben Umfang wie auch das Upstream Projekt. Dies stellt eine Ausnahme dar von der allgemeinen Entwicklungspraktik von Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
    Aus diesem Grund können Applikationen, die über den OFED Stapel (siehe Liste unten) hinaus gebaut wurden, ggf. Rekompilation oder sogar Änderungen auf Ebene des Quellcodes erfordern, wenn von einer Nebenversion von Red Hat Enterprise Linux auf eine neuere gewechselt wird.
    Dies ist im Allgemeinen nicht erforderlich für andere Applikationen, die auf dem Red Hat Enterprise Linux Stapel gebaut wurden. Die betroffenen Komponenten sind:
    • dapl
    • compat-dapl
    • ibsim
    • ibutils
    • infiniband-diags
    • libcxgb3
    • libehca

Net-SNMP Aktualisierung
Net-SNMP has been re-based to upstream version 5.3.2.2. This update adds Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) support (as per RFC 3873, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3873.txt) and introduces two new configuration options (to be used in /etc/snmpd.conf):
  • dontLogTCPWrappersConnects — unterdrückt das Protokollieren von Verbindungsversuchen.
  • v1trapaddress — enables administrators to set an agent's IP address inside outgoing SNMP traps.
Diese Aktualisierung setzt ebenfalls einige von Upstream gelieferte Verbesserungen um, einschließlich:
  • Der snmpd-Daemon funktioniert nun ordnungsgemäß auf Systemen mit mehr als 255 Netzwerkschnittstellen. Außerdem gibt snmpd nun einen Fehler aus, wenn es konfiguriert wird, auf einen Port höher als 65535 zu horchen.
  • Eine Race Condition, die dazu führte, dass der snmpd-Daemon beim Lesen von /proc Dateideskriptoren durchsickern ließ, wurde nun behoben.
  • Der snmpd-Daemon meldet nun ordnugnsgemäß hrProcessorLoad Objekt ID's (OID), selbst auf Multi-CPU Hardware. Beachten Sie jedoch, dass es ab dem Start des Daemons ungefähr eine Minute dauert, die OID-Werte zu berechnen.
  • Das net-snmp-devel-Paket ist nun abhängig vom lm_sensors-devel-Paket.
OpenSSL Aktualisierung für FIPS Zertifikation
Die openssl-Pakete aktualisieren die OpenSSL-Bibliothek auf eine neuere Upstream Version, welche zur Zeit den "Federal Information Processing Standards" (FIPS-140-2) Validierungs Prozess durchläuft. Der FIPS-Modus ist standardmäßig aktiviert, um die OpenSSL-Bibliothek Feature Parität sowie ABI Kompatibilität zu vorhergehenden Versionen der openssl-Pakete in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 zu gewährleisten.
Diese Aktualisierung wendet außerdem die folgenden Upstream Fixes an:
  • Standardmäßig wird die zlib-Komprimierung für SSL und TLS Verbindungen verwendet. Auf IBM System z Architekturen mit "Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Function" (CPACF) wurde die Komprimierung zu einem großem Teil der CPU-Auslastung, und die Gesamtleistung wurde bestimmt durch die Geschwindigkeit der Komprimierung (nicht durch die Geschwindigkeit der Verschlüsselung). Wenn die Komprimierung deaktiviert wird, ist die Gesamtleistung sehr viel höher. In diesen aktualisierten Paketen kann die zlib-Komprimierung für SSL und TLS Verbindungen deaktiviert werden mithilfe der OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB Umgebungsvariablen. Für TLS Verbindungen über ein langsames Netzwerk ist es besser, die Komprimierung aktiviert zu lassen, so dass die zu transferierende Datenmenge geringer ist.
  • Beim Verwenden des openssl-Befehls mit den s_client und s_server Optionen wurde die Standard CA Zertifikat-Datei (/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt) nicht gelesen. Dies führte zum Scheitern der Verifizierung von Zertifikaten. Damit Zertifikate die Verifizierung bestehen, musste die -CAfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt Option angewendet werden. In diesen aktualisierten Paketen wird die Standard CA Zertifikat-Datei nun gelesen, und muss nicht mehr mit der -CAfile Option manuell angegeben werden.
yum Aktualisierung
yum wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf die Upstream Version 3.2.18. Diese Aktualisierung verbessert die Geschwindigkeit, mit der yum ausgeführt wird, wodurch Probleme aufgrund der ständig wachsenden Anzahl von Paketen in jeder Nebenversion gemindert werden. Zudem führt diese Aktualisierung auch den reinstall-Befehl ein, verbessert die Schnittstelle für mehrere Befehle, und enthält einige Bugfixes, einschließlich:
  • Jeglicher yum-Befehlt scheiterte bislang, wenn die -c-Option benutzt wurde zum Angeben einer Konfigurations-Datei, die sich an einer Web-Adresse (http) befand. Dieser Fehler wurde nun behoben.
  • Eine checkSignal()-Funktion in yum rief eine fehlerhafte Beenden-Funktion auf; daher resultierte ein Beenden von yum stattdessen in einem Traceback. In dieser Version beendet yum nun ordnungsgemäß.
Flash-Plugin Aktualisierung
Das flash-plugin-Paket wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf die Version 10.0.12.36. Diese Aktualisierung wendet mehrere Sicherheitsfixes an, die in einer vorhergehenden flash-plugin ASYNC Aktualisierung enthalten waren. Außerdem enthält dieses aktualisierte Plugin den Adobe Flash Player 10, der seinerseits folgende Bugfixes und Feature-Verbesserungen enthält:
  • Verbesserte Stabilität auf der Linux Plattform durch die Beseitigung einer Race Condition in der Audio-Ausgabe.
  • Neue Unterstützung für individuell angepasste Filter und Effekte, native 3D Transformationen und Animationen, erweiterte Audio Verarbeitung, eine neue, flexiblere Text Engine, und PGU Hardware Beschleunigung.
Für weitere Informationen über diese Aktualisierung, lesen Sie bitte die Adobe Flash Player 10 Release Notes unter dem folgenden Link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/10/Flash_Player_10_Release_Notes.pdf
gdb Aktualisierung
gdb wurde nun grundlegend aktualisiert auf Version 6.8. Dies wendet mehrere Upstream Feature Aktualisierungen und Bugfixes an, insbesondere: Unterstützung für Haltepunkte in C++ Vorlagen, Konstruktoren und Inline-Funktionen.
For more information on gdb updates applied in this release, refer to http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/NEWS?rev=1.259.2.1&cvsroot=src.
Instruction Based Sampling auf AMD Family10h Prozessoren
Unterstützung von Hardwareprofilen für AMD Family 10h Prozessoren wurde zu Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 hinzugefügt. Diese neuen AMD CPU's unterstützen "Instruction Based Sampling" (IBS). IBS-Unterstützung erfordert Änderungen am oProfile-Treiber, damit diese Informationen gesammelt und die Model Specific Registers (MSRs) initialisiert werden, welche mit diesen neuen Features zusammenhängen.
Diese Aktualisierung fügt die neuen IBS_FETCH und IBS_OP Profiling Samples zu den Puffern pro CPU sowie den Ereignispuffern des oProfile-Treibers hinzu. Neue Kontrolleinträge wurden ebenfalls hinzugefügt zu /dev/oprofile, um IBS Sampling zu steuern. Diese Änderungen sind rückwärtskompatibel mit vorhergehenden nur-PMC Versionen des Treibers, und ein separates Patch ist verfügbar für oProfile 0.9.3, um diese neuen Daten zu nutzen.
Für mehr Informationen über IBS, werfen Sie bitte einen Blick auf: Instruction-Based Sampling: A New Performance Analysis Technique for AMD Family 10h Processors, November 19, 2007
Squid Aktualisierung
Squid wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf die letzte stabile Upstream Version (STABLE21). Diese Aktualisierung behebt mehrere Fehler, einschließlich:
  • Das Skript squid init gab stets fälschlicherweise den Exit Code 0 aus. Dieser Fehler ist nun behoben, so dass Squid nun konform geht mit Linux Standard Base.
  • Das Verwenden der refresh_stale_hit-Direktive führt zu der Fehlermeldung Clock going backwards in der squid-Protokolldatei.
  • Der squid Installationsprozess richtete den Besitzer des /usr/local/squid Verzeichnisses nicht korrekt ein. In dieser Version ist nun der Benutzer squid der standardmäßige Besitzer von /usr/local/squid.
  • Jedesmal wenn squid versucht, die Funktion hash_lookup() zu verwenden, kann es ggf. abbrechen mit signal 6.
  • Das Verwenden von squid_unix_group könnte squid zum Absturz bringen.
Event Multi-Processing Model in Apache
httpd, das Apache HTTP Server Paket, beinhaltet nun das experimentelle event Multi-Processing Model (MPM). Dieses MPM verbessert die Leistung, indem es beim Arbeiten mit Keepalive-Verbindungen fest zugeordnete Threads verwendet.
Libgomp Aktualisierung
libgomp wurde grundlegend aktualisiert auf Version 4.3.2-7.el5. Diese Aktualisierung verbessert die OpenMP-Leistung und unterstützt zusätzlich die OpenMP Version 3.0 bei der Verwendung mit dem gcc43-Compiler.
iSCSI-Ziel Fähigkeiten
Die iSCSI-Ziel Fähigkeit, als Teil des Linux Target (tgt) Frameworks, geht über von Technologievorschau zu voller Unterstützung in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. Das Linux Target Framework ermöglicht einem System die Freigabe von Block-Level-SCSI-Speichergeräten für andere Systeme, die einen SCSI Initiator besitzen. Diese Fähigkeit wird als erstes als ein Linux-iSCSI-Ziel eingesetzt, so dass Speicher über ein Netzwerk für jeden beliebigen iSCSI-Initiator bereitgestellt wird.
Um das iSCSI-Ziel einzurichten, installieren Sie das scsi-target-utils-RPM und befolgen die Anweisungen in: /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[version]/README und /usr/share/doc/scsi-target-utils-[version]/README.iscsi

This section contains information about updates made to Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite of Virtualization tools.

6.1. Feature Updates
Link kopieren

  • Das blktap (blocktap) Userspace-Toolkit wurde aktualisiert und bietet die Funktionalität zur Beobachtung der Transferstatistiken von durch blktap gestützten virtualisierten Gästen.
  • Support für das Intel Extended Page Table (EPT) Feature wurde hinzugefügt, wodurch die Performance vollständig virtualisierter Gäste auf EPT unterstützender Hardware verbessert wurde.
  • Die e1000-Netzwerkgerätemulation wurde diesem Update hinzugefügt, die nur Windows 2003 Gäste auf der ia64 Architektur unterstützt. Zur Verwendung der e1000 Emulation, muss der xm-Befehl verwendet werden.
  • Treiber für virtio, die Plattform für I/O-Virtualisierung in KVM, wurden zu Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 von Linux Kernel 2.6.27 backportiert. Diese Treiber ermöglichen es KVM-Gästen, eine höhere Ebene von I/O-Performance zu erreichen. Verschiedene Userspace-Komponenten wie: anaconda, kudzu, lvm, selinux und mkinitrd wurden ebenfalls aktualisiert, um Support für virtio Geräte zu liefern.
  • Der native Linux Kernel unterstützt vmcoreinfo automatisch, um aber kdump in dom0-Domains zu erstellen, wurde das kernel-xen-debuginfo-Paket benötigt. In dieser Release wurden Kernel und Hypervisor bearbeitet und unterstützen jetzt vmcoreinfo Reading und kdump Writing. Benutzer, die kdump zum Debugging oder anderen Nachforschungen auf dom0-Domains benötigen können dies jetzt ohne debuginfo oder debuginfo-common-Pakete tun.
  • Bei vollständig virtualisierte Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Gäste hatten keine optimale Performance bei der Verwendung von emulierten Disk und Netzwerkgeräten. Dieses Update enthält das kmod-xenpv-Paket zur Vereinfachung der Verwendung paravirtualisierter Disks und Netzwerke in vollständig virtualisierten Gästen.
    Die Verwendung dieser Treiber bei vollständig virtualiserten Gästen kann die Performance und Funktionalität signifikant verbessern. Für Netfront- und Blockfront-Treiber vorgenommene Fehlerbehebungen werden sofort realisiert und mit dem Kernelpaket synchronisiert.
  • Gäste haben jetzt die Möglichkeit auf die 2MB Backing Page Speichertabellen zuzugreifen, die die Performance des Systems verbessern.

6.2. Resolved Issues

6.2.1. All Architectures
Link kopieren

  • Das Abschalten eines paravirtualisierten Gastes konnte dazu führen, dass dom0 für eine bestimmte Zeit nicht mehr reagierte. Es kam zu einem Zeitverzug von mehreren Sekunden bei Gästen mit viel Speicherauslastung (d.h. 12GB und darüber). In diesem Update gestattet der virtualisierte Kernel die Abschaltung eines großen eines paravirtualisierten Gastes entziehbar (preemptible) zu sein, wodurch dieses Problem gelöst wird.
  • crash was unable to read the relocation address of the hypervisor from a vmcore file. Consequently, opening a Virtualized kernel vmcore file with crash would fail, resulting in the error: 
    crash: cannot resolve "idle_pg_table_4"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In this update, the hypervisor now saves the address correctly, which resolves this issue.
  • Paravirtualisierte Gäste konnten ehemals maximal 16 Geräte besitzen. In diesem Update wurde das Maximum auf 256 Disk-Geräte erhöht.
  • Für den kdump-Kernel reservierter Speicher war inkorrekt, wodurch es zu unbrauchbaren Crash-Dumps kam. In diesem Update ist die Speicherreservierung korrekt, so dass korrekte Crash-Dumps generiert werden.
  • Das Anhängen einer Disk mit einem bestimmten Namen (d.h. /dev/xvdaa, /dev/xvdab, /dev/xvdbc usw.) an einen paravirtualisierten Gast führte zu einem korrumpierten /dev-Gerät innerhalb des Gastes. Dieses Update löst dieses Problem, so dass das Anhängen von Disks mit diesen Namen an einen paravirtualisierten Gast ein ordnungsgemäßes /dev-Gerät innerhalb des Gastes erstellt.
  • Die Anzahl der Loopback-Geräte war ehemals auf 4 beschränkt. In folge war der Bau von Brücken auf Systemen mit mehr als 4 Netzwerk-Interfaces eingeschränkt. In diesem Update erstellt der netloop-Treiber jetzt wie benötigt zusätzliche Loopback-Geräte.
  • Beim Erstellen und Auflösen von Netzwerkgeräten kam es zu einer Wettlaufsituation. In einigen Fällen — insbesondere bei hoher Auslastung — führte dies dazu, dass das virtuelle Gerät nicht antwortete. In diesem Update wird der Status des virtuellen Geräts geprüft, so dass das Auftreten einer Wettlaufsituation verhindert wird.
  • Es kam zu einem Speicherleck in virt-manager, wenn die Anwendung laufen gelassen wurde. In Folge verbrauchte die Anwendung mehr Ressourcen, was zu einem dramatischen Speicherverlust führen konnte. In diesem Update wurde das Speicherleck behoben und dieses Problem gelöst.
  • the crash utility could not analyze x86_64 vmcores from systems running kernel-xen because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hypervisor was relocatable and the relocated physical base address is not passed in the vmcore file's ELF header. The new --xen_phys_start command line option for the crash utility allows the user to pass crash the relocated base physical address.
  • Nicht alles Mausereignisse wurden durch Paravirtual Frame Buffer (PVFB) festgehalten und verarbeitet. Das Scroll-Rädchen funktionierte daher nicht bei der Interaktion mit einem paravirtualisierten Gast mit der Virtual Machine Console. In diesem Update ist dieses Problem behoben.
  • Die Verwendung von Virtualisierung mit einer großen Anzahl von CPUs konnte zum Absturz des Hypervisor während der Gastinstallation führen. In diesem Update wurde das Problem behoben.
  • Bei Intel Prozessoren, die einen CPUID Family-Value von 6 widergeben, war nur ein Performance-Counter-Register in kernel-xen aktiviert. Deshalb lieferte nur Counter 0 Samples. In diesem Update wurde dieses Problem behoben.

6.2.2. x86 Architectures
Link kopieren

  • On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized properly.
  • Lief ein x86 paravirtualisierter Gast und ein Vorgang griff auf ungültigen Speicher zu, so lief ein Loop statt das ein SEGV-Signal eingeholt wurde. Dies führte zu einem Fehler bei der Überprüfung der execshield unter dem Hypervisor. In diesem Update wurde das Problem behoben.

6.2.3. ia64 Architecture
Link kopieren

  • A xend bug that previously caused guest installation failures is now fixed.
  • Beim evtchn-Ereignis Kanalgerät (Event Channel Device) fehlten Sperren und Speicherbarrieren. Dies führte dazu, dass xenstore nicht mehr reagierte. In diesem Update wurde das Problem behoben.
  • Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Informationen wurden nicht mit dem xm info-Befehl angezeigt. In Folge wurde der node_to_cpu-Wert für jeden Node inkorrekt als no cpus widergegeben. In diesem Update wurde das Problem behoben.
  • Das Erstellen eines Gastes auf einer Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) schlug ehemals bei VT-i2 Technologie verwendenden Prozessoren fehl. Mit diesem Update ist dieses Problem behoben.

6.2.4. x86_64 Architectures
Link kopieren

  • Waren die für virtuelle Maschinen von Gästen verfügbaren Dynamic IRQs ausgeschöpft, so crashte der dom0-Kernel. In diesem Update wurde das Problem behoben, und die ANzahl verfügbarer IRQs wurde erhöht.
  • On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized properly.

6.3. Known Issues

6.3.1. All Architectures
Link kopieren

  • Auf Medien im Diskettenlaufwerk kann bei Verwendung des virtualisierten Kernels nicht zugegriffen werden. Um dieses Problem zu umgehen, verwenden Sie ein USB-angehängtes Diskettenlaufwerk.
    Medien im Diskettenlaufwerk funktionieren problemlos mit anderen nicht-virtualisierten Kernels.
  • In live migrations of paravirtualized guests, time-dependent guest processes may function improperly if the corresponding hosts' (dom0) times are not synchronized. Use NTP to synchronize system times for all corresponding hosts before migration.
  • Wird ein paravirtualisierter Gast wiederholt zwischen zwei Hosts migriert, kann ein Host ggf. mit einem Panic abstürzen. Wird ein Host neu gebootet, nachdem ein Gast aus dem System heraus migriert wurde und bevor er erneut auf denselben Gast migriert wird, tritt dieser Panic nicht auf.
  • Das Formattieren einer Disk als Gast während Windows 2008 oder Windows Vista läuft kann zum Absturz führen, wenn der Gast mit mehreren virtuellen CPUs gebootet hat. Um dies zu vermeiden, booten Sie den Gast beim Formattieren mit einer einzelnen virtuellen CPU.
  • Vollständig virtualisierte und durch virt-manager erstellte Gäste hindern die Maus manchmal daran sich frei über den Bildschirm hinweg zu bewegen. Verwenden Sie virt-manager um dies zu umgehen und eine USB Tablet-Gerät für den Gast zu konfigurieren.
  • Die maximalen CPUs müssen auf weniger als 128 beschränkt werden, wenn auf einem 128 oder größeren CPU-System. Das derzeit unterstützte Maximum liegt bei 126. Verwenden Sie das maxcpus=126-Hypervisor Argument, um den Hypervisor auf 126 zu beschränken.
  • Vollständig virtualisierte Gäste können durch Domain pause/unpause bedingte Zeitverluste nicht korrigieren. Es gehört zu den Vorteilen paravirtualisierter Kernels, dass die Zeit bei pause/unpause Vorgängen verfolgt werden kann. Dieses Problem wird Upstream mit ersetzbaren Timern angesprochen, so dass vollständig virtualisierte Gäste paravirtualisierte Timer besitzen. Zum derzeitigen Zeitpunkt befindet sich dieser Code in Entwicklung Upstream und sollte in späteren Versionen von Red Hat Enterprise Linux verfügbar sein.
  • Wiederholte Migration paravirtualisierter Gäste kann zu bad mpa-Meldungen auf der dom0-Konsole führen. In einigen Fällen kann es auch zu einer Panik des Hypervisors kommen.
    Um eine Hypervisor Kernel-Panik zu vermeiden, starten Sie die migrierten Gäste nachdem die negativen mpa-Nachrichten erscheinen erneut.
  • Beim Einstellen des Interface-Bonding auf dom0 kann es vorkommen, dass das Standard network-bridge-Skript dazu führt, dass Netzwerk-Interfaces aletrnierend zwischen unavailable und available wechseln. Dieser Vorgang wird als flapping bezeichnet.
    Um dem vorzubeugen ersetzen Sie die standardmäßige network-script-Zeile in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp durch folgende Zeile: 
    			
(network-script network-bridge-bonding netdev=bond0)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Hierdurch wird das netloop-Gerät deaktiviert, wodurch verhindert wird, dass das Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Monitoring während des Adressentransfervorgangs (address transfer process) fehlschlägt.
  • When running multiple guest domains, guest networking may temporarily stop working, resulting in the following error being reported in the dom0 logs: 
    Memory squeeze in netback driver
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    To work around this, raise the amount of memory available to the dom0 with the dom0_mem hypervisor command line option.

6.3.2. x86 Architectures
Link kopieren

  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • When installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on a fully virtualized SMP guest, the installation may freeze. This can occur when the host (dom0) is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2.
    Stellen Sie den Gast so ein, dass er nur einen Prozessor während der Installation verwendet. Dies können Sie mit der Option --vcpus=1 in virt-install tun. Sobald die Installation abgeschlossen ist, können Sie den Gast auf SMP setzen, indem Sie die zugewiesenen vcpus in virt-manager anpassen.

6.3.3. x86_64 Architectures
Link kopieren

  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • Installing the Virtualization feature may cause a time went backwards warning on HP systems with model numbers xw9300 and xw9400.
    Um dieses Problem auf xw9400-Maschinen zu umgehen, aktivieren Sie in den BIOS-Einstellungen den HPET-Timer. Beachten Sie, dass diese Option für xw9300-Maschinen nicht zur Verfügung steht.
  • Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.9 on a fully virtualized guest may be extremely slow. In addition, booting up the guest after installation may result in hda: lost interrupt errors.
    Um diesen Bootup-Fehler zu vermeiden, konfigurieren Sie den Gast so, dass er den SMP-Kernel verwendet.
  • Upgrading a host (dom0) system to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 may render existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 SMP paravirtualized guests unbootable. This is more likely to occur when the host system has more than 4GB of RAM.
    Booten Sie als provisorische Lösung jeden Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 Gast in Single-CPU-Modus und aktualisieren dessen Kernel auf die aktuellste Version (für Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5.z).

6.3.4. ia64 Architecture

  • Migrating paravirtualized guests through xm migrate [domain] [dom0 IP address] does not work.
  • On some Itanium systems configured for console output to VGA, the dom0 virtualized kernel may fail to boot. This is because the virtualized kernel failed to properly detect the default console device from the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) settings.
    Falls dies auftritt, können Sie, um dies zu umgehen, den Boot-Parameter console=tty zu den Kernel-Boot-Optionen in /boot/efi/elilo.conf hinzufügen.
  • On some Itanium systems (such as the Hitachi Cold Fusion 3e), the serial port cannot be detected in dom0 when VGA is enabled by the EFI Maintenance Manager. As such, you need to supply the following serial port information to the dom0 kernel:
    • Geschwindigkeit in Bits/Sekunde
    • Anzahl der Daten-Bits
    • Parität
    • io_base-Adresse
    Diese Details müssen in der Zeile append= des dom0-Kernels in /boot/efi/elilo.conf angegeben werden. Zum Beispiel:
    append="com1=19200,8n1,0x3f8 -- quiet rhgb console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8"
    In diesem Beispiel ist com1 der serielle Port, 19200 die Geschwindigkeit (in Bits/Sekunde), 8n1 gibt die Einstellungen bezüglich der Anzahl der Daten-Bits/Parität an und 0x3f8 ist die io_base-Adresse.
  • Virtualization does not work on some architectures that use Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA). As such, installing the virtualized kernel on systems that use NUMA will result in a boot failure.
    Einige Installationsnummern installieren den virtualisierten Kernel standardmäßig. Falls Sie eine solche Installationsnummer besitzen und Ihr System NUMA verwendet und nicht mit kernel-xen arbeitet, wählen Sie die Virtualisierungsoption während der Installation nicht aus.
  • Currently, live migration of fully virtualized guests is not supported on this architecture. In addition, kexec and kdump are also not supported for virtualization on this architecture.

7. Technology Previews
Link kopieren

Technology Preview features are currently not supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription services, may not be functionally complete, and are generally not suitable for production use. However, these features are included as a customer convenience and to provide the feature with wider exposure.
Customers may find these features useful in a non-production environment. Customers are also free to provide feedback and functionality suggestions for a Technology Preview feature before it becomes fully supported. Erratas will be provided for high-severity security issues.
During the development of a Technology Preview feature, additional components may become available to the public for testing. It is the intention of Red Hat to fully support Technology Preview features in a future release.
ALUA-Modus auf EMC Clariion
Der explizite aktiv-passiv Failover-Modus (ALUA) unter Verwendung von dm-multipath auf EMC Clariion Speichergeräten wird nun unterstützt. Dieser Modus wird als T10-Spezifikation zur Verfügung gestellt, jedoch nur als eine Technologievorschau in diesem Release.
For more information about T10, refer to http://www.t10.org.
ext4
Die neueste Generation des ext-Dateisystems ext4 ist in dieser Release als Technologievorschau verfügbar. Ext4 ist eine schrittweise Verbesserung des von Red Hat und der Linux Community entwickelten ext3-Dateisystems. Der Release-Name des Dateisystems für die Technologievorschau lautet ext4dev.
Das Dateisystem wird durch das ext4dev.ko-Kernelmodul und ein neues e4fsprogs-Paket, das aktualisierte Versionen der bekannten e2fsprogs Administrationstools zur Verwendung mit ext4 enthält, bereitgestellt. Um dies zu verwenden, installieren Sie e4fsprogs und verwenden Sie dann Befehle wie mkfs.ext4dev aus dem e4fsprogs-Programm zur Erstellung eines ext4-base Dateisystems. Beim Bezug auf das Dateisystem bei einer Einhänge-Befehlszeile oder fstab-Datei verwenden Sie den Dateisystemnamen ext4dev.
FreeIPMI
FreeIPMI ist nun als Technologievorschau Bestandteil dieser Aktualisierung. FreeIPMI ist eine Sammlung von Intelligent Platform Management IPMI System-Software. Es bietet In-Band- und Out-Of-Band-Software, parallel zur Entwicklungsbibliothek, die mit den Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI v1.5 and v2.0) Standards übereinstimmt.
For more information about FreeIPMI, refer to http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/
TrouSerS und tpm-tools
TrouSerS und tpm-tools sind in diesem Release enthalten, um die Verwendung von Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Hardware zu ermöglichen. TPM-Hardware-Features umfassen (neben anderen):
  • Sicheres Erstellen, Speichern und Verwenden von RSA-Schlüsseln (ohne dass diese im Speicher dargelegt werden)
  • Verifizierung des Software-Status einer Plattform unter Verwendung kryptografischer Hashes
TrouSerS ist eine Implementierung der Trusted Computing Group's Software Stack (TSS) Specification. Sie können TrouSerS dazu verwenden, Applikationen zu schreiben, die TPM-Hardware nutyen. tpm-tools ist ein Satz von Tools zur Verwaltung und Nutzung von TPM-Hardware.
For more information about TrouSerS, refer to http://trousers.sourceforge.net/.
eCryptfs
eCryptfs ist ein gestapeltes kryptografisches Dateisystem für Linux. Es wird in individuellen Verzeichnissen in bereits eingehängten, untergeordneten Dateisystemen wie EXT3 eingehängt. Die vorhandenen Partitionen oder Dateisysteme müssen nicht geändert werden, um mit der Verwendung von eCryptfs zu beginnen.
Mit dieser Release basiert eCryptfs nun auf Upstream Version 56, die mehrere Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen bietet. Au-erdem liefert dieses Update ein grafisches Programm, das bei der Konfiguration von eCryptfs (ecryptfs-mount-helper-gui) hilft.
Dieses Update ändert auch die Syntax bestimmter eCryptfs/Einhängeoptionen. Falls Sie sich dafür entscheiden, dies zu dieser Version von eCryptfs zu aktualisieren, so sollten Sie alle betroffenen Einhängeskripte und /etc/fstab-Einträge aktualisieren. Informationen zu diesen Änderungen finden Sie unter man ecryptfs.
Folgende Warnhinweise gelten für diese Release von eCryptfs:
  • Beachten Sie, dass das eCryptfsDateisystem nur dann ordnungsgemäß funktioniert, wenn das verschlüsselte Dateisystem einmal über dem zugrunde liegenden Verzeichnis gleichen Namens eingehängt ist. Zum Beispiel: 
    mount -t ecryptfs /mnt/secret /mnt/secret
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Der gesicherte Teil des Dateisystems sollte nicht offengelegt sein, d.h. nicht an anderen Einhängepunkten (Mount Points), Einbindepunkten (Bind Points) u.ä. eingehängt sein.
  • eCryptfs hängt an genetzwerkten Dateisystemen ein (z.B. NFS, Samba), funktioniert nicht ordnungsgemäß.
  • Diese Version des eCryptfs-Kerneltreibers benötigt aktualisierten Userspace, der durch ecryptfs-utils-56-4.el5 oder neuer bereitgestellt wird.
For more information about eCryptfs, refer to http://ecryptfs.sf.net. You can also refer to http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/README and http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/ecryptfs-faq.html for basic setup information.
Stateless-Linux
Stateless-Linux ist eine neue Denkweise, wie ein System betrieben und verwaltet werden soll. Es ist dafür gedacht, die Versorgung und das Management einer großen Anzahl von Systemen zu vereinfachen, indem diese leicht austauschbar sind. Dies wird in erster Linie durch die Herstellung präparierter System-Images erreicht, die repliziert und über eine große Anzahl von zustandlosen (stateless) Systemen mit einem Betriebssystem in einem read-only-Status hinweg verwaltet werden (bitte werfen Sie einen Blick auf /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root für weitere Einzelheiten).
In diesem derzeitigen Entwicklungsstatus sind die Stateless-Features eine Teilmenge der beabsichtigten Ziele. Als solche ist ihre Tauglichkeit derzeit als "Technologievorschau"-Status gekennzeichnet.
Interessenten für das Testen von zustandlosem (stateless) Code, wird dringend empfohlen, die HOWTOs unter http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux/HOWTO zu lesen und Mitglied der Liste stateless-list@redhat.com zu werden.
Die ersten Bestandteile, die Stateless Linux ermöglichten, wurden ursprünglich in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 eingeführt.
AIGLX
AIGLX ist ein Technologievorschau-Feature des ansonsten komplett unterstützten X-Servers. Es hat die Absicht, GL-beschleunigte Effekte auf einem Standard-Desktop zu aktivieren. Das Projekt besteht aus den folgenden Komponenten:
  • Ein geringfügig modifizierter X-Server.
  • Ein aktualisiertes Mesa-Paket, das Support für neue Protokolle hinzufügt.
Wenn Sie diese Komponenten installieren, können Sie GL-beschleunigte Effekte auf Ihrem Desktop mit sehr wenigen Änderungen nutzen. Weiterhin haben Sie die Möglichkeit, diese nach Belieben zu aktivieren, bzw. zu deaktivieren, ohne den X-Server zu ersetzen. AIGLX ermöglicht es außerdem Remote-GLX-Anwendungen, die Vorteile von Hardware-GLX-Beschleunigung zu nutzen.
FireWire
Das Modul firewire-sbp2 wird im Rahmen dieser Aktualisierung weiterhin als Technologievorschau eingebunden. Dieses Modul ermöglicht die Verbindung mit FireWire Speichergeräten und Scannern.
Derzeit unterstützt FireWire Folgendes nicht:
  • IPv4
  • pcilynx Host-Kontroller
  • multi-LUN Speichergeräte
  • Nicht-exklusiver Zugriff auf Speichergeräte
Zusätzlich bestehen die folgenden Probleme in dieser Version von FireWire weiterhin:
  • ein Speicherleck im SBP2-Treiber kann dazu führen, dass die Maschine nicht mehr antwortet.
  • ein Code in dieser Version funktioniert nicht ordnungsgemäß auf "big-endian"-Maschinen. Dies kann zu unerwartetem Verhalten auf PowerPCs führen.
ktune
Diese Release enthält ktune (aus dem ktune-Paket), einen Dienst, der mehrere Kernel-Feinabstimmungsparameter auf für bestimmte Systemprofile passende Werte setzt. Derzeit bietet ktune nur ein Profil für Großspeicher-Systeme, die Disk- und Netzwerk-intensive Anwendungen ausführen.
Die durch ktune gelieferten Einstellungen setzen diejenigen in /etc/sysctl.conf oder durch die Kernel-Befehlszeile nicht außer Kraft. ktune ist möglicherweise für einige Systeme und Arbeitsbelastungen nicht geeignet; testen Sie dies ausgiebig ehe Sie es in der Produktion deployen.
Sie können jeden Konfigurationsatz durch ktune deaktivieren und zu Ihren regulären Einstellungen zurückkehren, indem Sie einfach den ktune-Dienst mittels service ktune stop (als Root) stoppen.
SGPIO Support für dmraid
Serial General Purpose Input Output (SGPIO) ist eine dem Industriestandard entsprechende Kommunikationsmethode, die zwischen einer Hauptplatine (Main Board) und verschiedenen internen und externen Bay Enclosures der Hard Disc Anwendung findet. Diese Methode kann zur Steuerung von LED-Lichtern an einer Enclosure durch das AHCI Treiber-Interface verwendet werden.
In dieser Release ist SGPIO-Support in dmraid als Technologievorschau enthalten. Dies gestattet es dmraid ordnungsgemäß mit Disk Enclosures zu funktionieren.
GCC 4.3
Die Gnu Compiler Collection version 4.3 (GCC4.3) ist jetzt in dieser Release als eine Technologievorschau enthalten. Diese Sammlung von Compilern enthält C, C++ und Fortran 95 Compiler sowie Support-Bibliotheken.
Beachten Sie, dass in den gcc43-Paketen der Standard für die gnu89-inline-Option zu -fgnu89-inline geändert wurde, wobei Upstream und zukünftige Aktualisierungen von Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 standardmäßig -fno-gnu89-inline sein werden. Dies ist notwendig, weil viele als Teil von Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 vertriebenen Header GNU in-line Semantik statt ISO C99 Semantik erwarten. Diese Headers wurden nicht angepasst, um GNU in-line Semantik durch Attribute anzufordern.
Kernel Tracepoint Facility
In diesem Update wurde ein neuer Kernel Marker/Tracepoint Facility als Technologievorschau implementiert. Dieses Interface fügt dem Kernel statische Testpunkte zur Verwendung mit Tools wie etwa SystemTap hinzu.
Device Failure Monitoring von RAID Sets
Device Failure Monitoring unter Verwendung der Tools dmraid und dmevent_tool sind in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 als Technologievorschau enthalten. Dies ermöglicht die Beobachtung und Meldung von Gerätefehlfunktionen auf Gerätekomponenten von RAID Sets.

  • Die Daten für Aktivitätsberichte des TTY-Geräts wurden nicht ordnungsgemäß generiert. Der sar -y-Befehl schlug daher fehl und meldete den folgenden Fehler: 
    Requested activities not available in file (dt. Angeforderte Aktivitäten nicht in der Datei verfügbar)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    In diesem aktualisierten Paket ist sar korrigiert, so dass die -y Option die Aktivität des TTY-Geräts anzeigt.
  • Zuvor hinderte die Einstellung von max_fds auf unlimited in /etc/multipath.conf den multipathd-Daemon am Starten. Falls die Anzahl offener Datei-Deskriptoren auf das System-Maximum gesetzt werden muss, so sollte max_fds auf max eingestellt werden.
  • mod_perl ist jetzt auf Version 2.0.4 rebasiert, der aktuellsten Upstream Release. Dieses Update wendet mehrere Updates an, darunter einen Bug-Fix, der es mod_perl jetzt gestattet, ordnungsgemäß mit Bugzilla 3.0 zu arbeiten.
  • cups basiert jetzt auf Version 1.3.7. Dieses Update beinhaltet mehrere Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen, darunter:
    • Kerberos Authentifikation wird nun unterstützt
    • Benutzerdefinierte Drucker- und Job-Richtlinien werden jetzt ordnungsgemäß geladen.
    • Remote Warteschleifen-Chaches werden nicht mehr geladen, wenn das Browsing deaktiviert ist.
    • Die classes.conf-Konfigurationsdatei besitzt jetzt die korrekten Genehmigungen.
  • lm_sensors basiert nun auf Version 2.10.7. Dieses Update beinhaltet mehrere Upstream-Verbesserungen und Fehlerbehebungen, darunter einen Fix, der verhindert, dass libsensors mit einer General parse error-Nachricht abstürzt, wenn k8temp ebenfalls geladen wird.
  • Die Aktualisierung von elfutils im Rahmen dieser Release behebt nun die folgenden Fehler:
    • Das eu-readelf-Dienstprogramm stürtzte beim Lesen bestimmter Eingabe-Dateien ab.
    • Das eu-strip-DIenstprogramm wird in den rpmbuild-Vorgängen verwendet, die neue Binärdatei-Pakete erstellen. Dabei werden Informationen zur Fehlerbehebung von ausführbarem Code getrennt, um -debuginfo-Pakete zu erstellen. Ein Fehler bei diesem Dienstprogramm führte dazu, dass unbrauchbare Informationen zur Fehlerbehebung für ET_REL-Dateien auf der s390-Plattform auftraten; dies betrifft Moduldateien des Linux-Kernels (.ko.debug) und führte dazu, dass die generierten kernel-debuginfo-Pakete nicht mit Systemtap auf s390 funktionierten.
  • vnc-server ist nun auf Version 4.1.2-14.el5 abgestimmt. Dieses Update enthält die folgenden Fehlerbehebungen:
    • Ein Fehler, der vncserver am Drucken von Fehlermeldungen hinderte, wenn Xvnc nicht startete, ist jetzt behoben.
    • Xvnc verwendet nicht mehr die falsche Root Window Depth; es wird nun die korrekte Window Depth verwendet, wie sie durch die -depth-Option festgelegt wird.
    • Ein Fehler, der dazu führte, dass das libvnc.so-Modul den X-Server zum Absturz brachte, ist nun behoben.
    • Xvnc unterstützt jetzt GLX- und RENDER-Erweiterungen auf allen Architekturen.
  • smartmontools basiert nun auf Version 5.38. Dieses Update verbessert die Autodetection von Hardware-Geräten, verbessert den Support für CCISS RAID Arrays und bietet eine größere Datenbank unterstützter Geräte.
    Dieses Update behebt außerdem einen Fehler bei dem SELinux smartmontools and der Überwachung von 3ware RAID-Geräten hinderte. smartmontools ckann solche Geräte jetzt ordnungsgemäß überwachen.
  • python-urlgrabber basiert nun auf Version 3.1.0-5. Dadurch werden mehrere Fehler von Upstream behoben, darunter:
    • yum kann nun ordnungsgemäß erneut aus einem yum-Repository downloaden, das Teil-Downloads nicht unterstützt.
    • yum kann nun mit einem unterbrochenen Download fortfahren, selbst wenn das yum-Repository mit einem festgelegten Port FTP-basiert ist.
    • Die Größe des Ladebalkens ist jetzt dynamisch zur Terminalbreite. Außerdem sind die Ladebalken nun übersichtlicher und zeigen einen Prozentsatz der insgesamt heruntergeladenen Daten an.
    • Das keepalive-Signal von python-urlgrabber funktioniert nun problemlos. In der Vergangenheit hatte ein Fehler bei diesem Signal dazu geführt, dass es während Download zu einer Erhöhung des Speichergebrauchs kam; außerdem verhinderte dieser Fehler die ordnungsgemäße Funktionsweise von reposync und yumdownloader beim Herunterladen großer Mengen an Paketen.
  • Thunderbird basiert nun auf Version 1.1.16. Es wurden mehrere Fehler behoben, darunter:
    • yum update --security findet jetzt alte, relevante Sicherheits-Updates.
    • yum-versionlock funktioniert jetzt ordnungsgemäß bei veralteten Paketen.
    Dieses Update enthält auch den yum-fastestmirror-Plugin, der es yum ermöglicht, das schnellste Repository in einer Mirror-Liste zu wählen.
  • Samba basiert nun auf Upstream Version 3.2.0. Dadurch werden mehrere Fehler behoben, darunter einer, der Benutzer daran hinderte Windows 2003 verwendende Domains als ihren Name-Server zu nutzen. Außerdem behebt dieses Update einen Fehler, der dazu führte, dass die Mitgliedschaft bei der samba-Domain nach Änderung des Systempassworts mittels net rpc changetrustpw unterbrochen wurde.
    For a more comprehensive list of upstream samba updates included this release, refer to http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.32.html
  • OpenLDAP basiert nun auf Upstream Version 2.3.43. Mehrere Upstream Fehler wurden dabei behoben, darunter:
    • Das init-Skript meldet jetzt eine Warnung, wenn der slapd-Daemon eine TLS-Zertifikatsdatei nicht lesen kann.
    • Alle Bibliotheken im openldap-debuginfo-Paket sind jetzt unstripped.
    • Die Deinstallation des openldap-devel-Pakets, führt nicht mehr zu Schäden an den OpenLDAP-Bibliotheken.
    Red Hat distribuiert jetzt zusätzliche Overlays für OpenLDAP-Server. Außer syncprov befinden sich alle Overlays in separaten openldap-servers-overlays-Paketen, die als dynamisch ladbare Module kompiliert sind. Das syncprov-Overlay ist statisch zum OpenLDAP-Server verlinkt, um die Kompatibilität mit älteren OpenLDAP-Releases zu gewährleisten.
  • Da bei der xterm Binärdatei das gesetzte Gruppen-ID (setgid) Bit konfiguriert war, waren bestimmte Umgebungsvariablen (wie LD_LIBRARY_PATH und TMPDIR) nicht gesetzt. In dieser Release sind bei der xterm-Binärdatei jetzt die Modus 0755-Genehmigungen konfiguriert, wodurch dieses Problem behoben ist.
  • The recommended method for balancing the load on NIS servers when multiple machines are connecting with ypbind has changed with this release. The ypbind daemon's behavior has not changed: it still pings all NIS servers listed in the /etc/ypbind configuration file and then binds to the single fastest-responding server. Before, it was recommended to list all available NIS servers in each machine's /etc/ypbind.conf configuration file. However, because even servers under high load can respond quickly to this ping, thus inadvertently increasing their own load, it is now recommended for administrators to list a smaller number of available NIS servers in each machine's ypbind.conf, and to vary this list across machines. In this way, NIS servers are automatically load-balanced due to not every NIS server being listed as being available to every machine.
  • Thunderbird basiert nun auf Version 2.3.1. Diese Aktualisierung behebt mehrere Fehler, darunter:
    • Ein Fehler beim Umgang von OpenMotif mit den Grab und Ungrab-Ereignissen ist nun behoben. In früheren Releases führte dieser Fehler manchmal zur Display-Sperre.
    • Ein Fehler in nedit konnte bei Verwendung der nedit grafischen Benutzeroberfläche zum Absturz führen. Dies war aufgrund einer Funktion im Code der Fall, die bei einigen Fällen der Postenauswahl zu einem Segmentierungsfehler führte. Dieses Problem ist nun behoben.
  • dbus basiert nun auf Version 1.1.2. Dieses Update behebt einen Fehler, der dazu führte, dass mehrthreadige Programme zu einer Sperre in dbus führten. In früheren Releases, bei denen ein Thread auf dbus horchte und Nachrichten verarbeitete, sendete der zweite Thread Nachrichten an dbus.
  • strace basiert nun auf Version 4.5.18. Dadurch werden mehrere Fehler behoben, darunter:
    • Ein Fehler, der zum Absturz von strace bei Verwendung der -f-Option bei einigen mehrthreadigen Programmen (insbesondere bei 64-bit Systemen) führte, ist jetzt behoben.
    • Ein Fehler, der die 64-bit Version von strace an der Ausführung des vfork()-Funktionsaufrufs an einem 32-bit Vorgang hinderte, ist jetzt behoben.
  • cpuspeed wurde zu Version 1.2.1-5 aktualisiert. Mit diesem Update lädt das cpuspeed init-Skript das speedstep-centrino-Modul jetzt, wenn das Laden aller anderen Module fehlschlägt. Außerdem wurde ein Benutzer-Space Fehler behoben, der das Powernow-k8-Modul am Laden hinderte nun behoben from.
  • Der frysk-Satz von Tools wurde vollständig aus dieser Distribution entfernt. frysk war ursprünglich als Technologievorschau in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 enthalten.
  • Die vom iostat -x/Befehl bereitgestellten Partition I/O Statistiken waren zuvor unvollständig. In diesem Update werden Partitionsstatistiken jetzt auf dieselbe Weise wie Disk-Statistiken errechnet, wodurch kohärente und verständliche I/O Statistiken auf Partitionsebene geliefert werden.
  • Ein Passwort-Offenlegungsfehler wurde in der Konfigurationsdatei für den Dovecot-Mailserver gefunden. War bei einem System die ssl_key_password-Option definiert, so konnte jeder beliebige lokale Benutzer das SSL-Schlüsselpasswort einsehen. (CVE-2008-4870)

    Anmerkung

    Dieser Fehler gestattete dem Angreifer keinen Zugriff auf die Inhalte des SSL-Schlüssels. Das Passwort besitzt ohne die Schlüsseldatei, auf welche beliebige Benutzer keinen Lesezugriff haben sollten, keinen Wert.
    To better protect even this value, however, the dovecot.conf file now supports the "!include_try" directive. The ssl_key_password option should be moved from dovecot.conf to a new file owned by, and only readable and writable by, root (ie 0600). This file should be referenced from dovecot.conf by setting the !include_try /path/to/password/file option.

  • ksh basiert nun auf Version 2008-02-02. Dieses Update fügt Multi-Byte Zeichen-Handhabung hinzu, löst zahlreiche Probleme bei der Job-Steuerung und behebt mehrere Fehler von Upstream. Beachten Sie, dass dieses Update zu ksh die Kompatibilität zu bestehenden Skripts bewahrt.

8.3. s390x Architectures

  • Ein vmconvert-Fehler verhinderte, dass es ordnungsgemäß am vmur-Geräte-Node (/dev/0.0.000c) funktionierte. Dies führte zum Fehlschlagen von vmconvert beim Versuch auf Dumps am vmur-Gerät zuzugreifen mit dem Fehler vmconvert: Open dump file failed! (Permission denied). Ein Update to s390utils in dieser Release behebt dieses Problem.
  • Das init/Skript und die config-Datei für den mon_procd-Daemon sowie mon_fsstatd-Daemon fehlten im s390utils-Paket. Es konnte daher kein Build dieser Daemons erfolgen und diese konnten nicht verwendet werden. Die fehlenden Dateien wurden diesem Update hinzugefügt, so dass das Problem nun behoben ist.

  • Ein Fehler, der das ehci_hcd-Modul daran hinderte auf dieser Architektur erneut zu laden, wurde nun behoben. Dies stellt sicher, dass der Belkin 4-port PCI-Express USB Lily-Adapter (und andere ähnliche Geräte) jetzt mit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ordnungsgemäß funktionieren, wenn das ehci_hcd-Modul verwendet wird.
  • Die libhugetlbfs-Bibliothek basiert nun auf Version 1.3. Dieses Update wendet mehrere Upstream Verbesserungen an der Bibliothek, wodurch die Performance von Huge-Seiten verwendenden Anwendungen verbessert wird.
    Eine vollständige Liste von Updates für libhugetlbfs finden Sie unter folgendem Link:

  • Wenn das neue Feature der Platten-Verschlüsselung angewendet wird zum Verschlüsseln des Root Dateisystems, wird die folgende Fehlermeldung beim Herunterfahren des Systems auf der Konsole ausgegeben: 
    Stopping disk encryption [FAILED]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Diese Meldung kann getrost ignoriert werden, denn das Herunterfahren wird dennoch erfolgreich abgeschlossen.
  • When using an encrypted device, the following error message may be reported during bootup: 
    insmod: error inserting '/lib/aes_generic.ko': -1 File exists
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    This message can safely be ignored.
  • Eine Installation unter Verwendung von Multiple Device (MD) RAID zusätzlich zu multipath wird dazu führen, dass der Rechner nicht booten kann. Multipath zu Storage Area Network (SAN) Geräten, welche RAID intern bieten, sind davon nicht betroffen.
  • When a large number of LUNs are added to a node, multipath can significantly increase the time it takes for udev to create device nodes for them. If you experience this problem, you can correct it by deleting the following line in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-multipath.rules: 
    KERNEL!="dm-[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM=="/bin/bash -c '/sbin/lsmod | /bin/grep ^dm_multipath'", RUN+="/sbin/multipath -v0 %M:%m"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    This line causes udev to run multipath every time a block device is added to the node. Even with this line removed, multipathd will still automatically create multipath devices, and multipath will still be called during the boot process, for nodes with multipathed root filesystems. The only change is that multipath devices will not be automatically created when multipathd is not running, which should not be a problem for the vast majority of multipath users.
  • Beim Aktualisieren von einer früheren Version von Red Hat Enterprise Linux auf 5.3 können Sie auf folgenden Fehler stoßen: 
    Updating  : mypackage                 ################### [ 472/1655]
rpmdb: unable to lock mutex: Invalid argument
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Der Grund für dieses Locking Problem ist, dass das gemeinsam genutzte Futex-Locking in glibc mit Futexes pro Prozess zwischen 5.2 und 5.3 weiterentwickelt wurde. Dies hat zur Folge, dass Programme, die mit 5.2 glibc laufen, gemeinsam genutztes Futex Locking nicht ordnungsgemäß ausführen können zusammen mit Programmen, welche mit 5.3 glibc laufen.
    Diese spezielle Fehlermeldung ist eine Nebenwirkung eines Paketes, welches rpm als Teil seines Installationsprozesses aufruft. Der RPM Vorgang, der die Aktualisierung durchführt, verwendet die frühere glibc während der gesamten Aktualisierung. Der RPM Vorgang, der aus dem Skript heraus gestartet wurde, nutzt jedoch die neue glibc.
    To avoid this error, upgrade glibc first in a separate run: 
    # yum update glibc
# yum update
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    You will also see this error if you downgrade glibc to an earlier version on an installed 5.3 system.
  • mvapich und mvapich2 sind in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kompiliert, um nur die InfiniBand/iWARP Interconnects zu unterstützen. Infolgedessen laufen sie nicht über Ethernet oder Netzwerk Interconnects.
  • In Systemen mit mehr als zwei verschlüsselten Blockgeräten hat Anaconda eine Option, die ein übergreifendes Passwort bietet kann. Die init Scripte unterstützen dieses Feature jedoch nicht. Beim Booten des Systems wird die Eingabe der jeweiligen Passwörter für jedes verschlüsselte Gerät verlangt.
  • When upgrading openmpi using yum, the following warning may be returned: 
    cannot open `/tmp/openmpi-upgrade-version.*' for reading: No such file or directory

    The message is harmless and can be safely ignored.
  • Das Konfigurieren von IRQ SMP Affinität hat keine Auswirkung auf manche Geräte, die "Message Signaled Interrupts" (MSI) verwenden ohne Fähigkeit für das MSI Per-Vector Masking. Beispiele für solche Geräte sind Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet Geräte, die den Treiber bnx2 verwenden.
    Wenn Sie die IRQ Affinität für ein solches Gerät konfigurieren müssen, deaktivieren Sie MSI durch Erstellen einer Datei in /etc/modprobe.d/, welche die folgende Zeile enthält: 
    		  options bnx2 disable_msi=1

    Alternativ können Sie MSI auch vollständig deaktivieren, indem Sie den Kernel Boot Parameter pci=nomsi verwenden.
  • Ein Bug in der aktualisierten Datei /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules verhindert das Erstellen von persistenten Namen für Bandgeräte mit Zahlen größer als 9 im Namen. So wird beispielsweise kein persistenter Name für ein Bandgerät mit einem Namen nst12 erstellt.
    Fügen Sie als temporäre Lösung ein Sternchen (*) hinter jedem Treffer des Strings nst[0-9] in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules ein.
  • Das smartctl-Tool kann SMART-Parameter nicht korrekt von SATA-Geräten lesen.
  • Ein Bug in früheren Versionen von openmpi und lam kann Sie am Aktualisieren dieser Pakete hindern. Dieser Bug äußert sich im folgenden Fehler (beim Versuch, openmpi oder lam zu aktualisieren): 
    error: %preun(openmpi-[version]) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Deshalb müssen Sie ältere Versionen von openmpi und lam manuell entfernen, um deren aktuellste Versionen zu installieren. Verwenden Sie hierfür den folgenden rpm-Befehl:
    rpm -qa | grep '^openmpi-\|^lam-' | xargs rpm -e --noscripts --allmatches
  • When using dm-multipath, if features "1 queue_if_no_path" is specified in /etc/multipath.conf then any process that issues I/O will hang until one or more paths are restored.
    To avoid this, set no_path_retry [N] in /etc/multipath.conf (where [N] is the number of times the system should retry a path). When you do, remove the features "1 queue_if_no_path" option from /etc/multipath.conf as well.
    If you need to use "1 queue_if_no_path" and experience the issue noted here, use dmsetup to edit the policy at runtime for a particular LUN (i.e. for which all the paths are unavailable).
    To illustrate: run dmsetup message [device] 0 "fail_if_no_path", where [device] is the multipath device name (e.g. mpath2; do not specify the path) for which you want to change the policy from "queue_if_no_path" to "fail_if_no_path".
  • Das Aktivieren von mehreren installierten Versionen desselben Kernel-Moduls wird nicht unterstützt. Zusätzlich kann ein Bug in der Art und Weise, wie Kernel-Module analysiert werden, manchmal dazu führen, dass eine ältere Version desselben Kernel-Moduls aktiviert wird.
    Red Hat empfiehlt, bei der Installation einer neueren Version eines installierten Kernel-Moduls zunächst die ältere Version zu deinstallieren.
  • Das Ausführen von kdump auf einem IBM Bladecenter QS21 oder QS22, konfiguriert mit NFS-Root, schlägt fehl. Um dies zu umgehen, geben Sie ein NFS-Dump-Ziel in /etc/kdump.conf an.
  • IBM T60 schalten sich im Suspend-Modus und beim Andocken an einer Docking-Station komplett aus. Um dies zu verhindern, booten Sie das System mit dem Parameter acpi_sleep=s3_bios.
  • Die QLogic iSCSI Expansion Card für das IBM Bladecenter liefert sowohl Ethernet- als auch iSCSI-Funktionen. Einige Teile der Karte werden von beiden Funktionen gemeinsam verwendet. Die aktuellen qla3xxx- und qla4xxx-Treiber unterstützen die Ethernet- und iSCSI-Funktionen jedoch individuell. Beide Treiber unterstützen die gleichzeitige Verwendung von Ethernet- und iSCSI-Funktionen jedoch nicht.
    Aufgrund dieser Einschränkung können nachfolgende Resets (durch aufeinander folgende ifdown/ifup-Befehle) zum Hängenbleiben des Geräts führen. Gönnen Sie sich ein 10-Sekunden Intervall nach einem ifup, bevor Sie ein ifdown ausführen, um dies zu verhindern. Gönnen Sie sich dasselbe 10-Sekunden Intervall nach einem ifdown, bevor Sie ein ifup ausführen. Dieses Intervall bietet ausreichend Zeit zur Stabilisierung und Neuinitialisierung aller Funktionen, wenn ein ifup ausgeführt wird.
  • Laptops, die mit einer Cisco Aironet MPI-350 Wireless-Karte ausgestattet sind, bleiben ggf. beim Versuch hängen, eine DHCP-Adresse während einer netzwerkbasierten Installation via festverdrahtetem Ethernet-Port zu erhalten.
    Um dies zu umgehen, verwenden Sie lokale Medien für Ihre Installation. Alternativ können Sie auch die Wirelesskarte im BIOS des Laptops vor Beginn der Installation deaktivieren (Sie können die Wirelesskarte nach Abschluss der Installation wieder reaktivieren).
  • Das Protokollieren während des Bootvorgangs in /var/log/boot.log steht in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 nicht zur Verfügung.
  • Das System bootet ggf. nicht erfolgreich in einen kexec-/kdump-Kernel, wenn X ausgeführt wird und einen anderen Treiber als vesa verwendet. Das Problem tritt lediglich mit ATI Rage XL Grafik-Chipsätzen auf.
    Falls X auf einem System mit ATI Rage XL Grafikkarte läuft, stellen Sie sicher, das diese den vesa-Treiber verwendet, um erfolgreich in einen kexec-/kdump-Kernel zu booten.
  • Wenn Sie Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 auf einem Rechner mit einem nVidia CK804-Chipsatz verwenden, erhalten Sie möglicherweise folgende Kernelmeldungen:

    Diese Meldungen weisen darauf hin, dass bestimmte PCI-E-Ports keine IRQs anfordern. Sie beeinflussen jedoch in keiner Weise die Funktionsfähigkeit des Rechners.
  • Entfernbare Speichergeräte (wie beispielsweise CDs und DVDs) werden nicht automatisch eingehängt, wenn Sie sich als Root einloggen. Aus diesem Grund müssen Sie diese Geräte mithilfe des grafischen Dateimanagers manuell einhängen.
    Alternativ können Sie den folgenden Befehl ausführen, um ein Gerät unter /media einzuhängen: 
    mount /dev/[device name] /media

  • Wenn eine LUN auf einem konfigurierten Speichersystem gelöscht wird, wirkt sich die Änderung nicht auf den Host aus. In diesen Fällen bleiben lvm Befehle unbegrenzt lange hängen, wenn dm-multipath verwendet wird, da die LUN nun als stale (abgelaufen) gilt.
    Löschen Sie als provisorische Lösung alle Geräte und mpath Link-Einträge in /etc/lvm/.cache, die spezifisch für die abgelaufene LUN sind.
    Um herauszufinden, wie diese Einträge lauten, führen Sie folgenden Befehl aus:
    ls -l /dev/mpath | grep [stale LUN]
    Wenn die [stale LUN] beispielsweise 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 beträgt, können die folgenden Resultate auftreten: 
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug  2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 -> ../dm-4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug  2 10:33 /3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00p1 -> ../dm-5
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Dies bedeutet, dass 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 zwei mpath-Verknüpfungen zugewiesen ist: dm-4 und dm-5.
    Daher sollten die folgenden Zeilen aus /etc/lvm/.cache gelöscht werden: 
    /dev/dm-4 
/dev/dm-5 
/dev/mapper/3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00

  • Das Ausführen des multipath-Befehls mit der Option -ll kann dazu führen, dass der Befehl hängenbleibt, falls sich einer der Pfade auf einem Blockinggerät befindet. Beachten Sie, dass der Treiber für einige Zeit keine Anfrage bearbeitet, falls das Gerät nicht mehr antwortet.
    Dies wird durch den Cleanup-Code verursacht, der solange wartet, bis die Anfrage für die Überprüfung des Pfads entweder erfolgreich abgeschlossen wird oder fehlschlägt. Um den aktuellen multipath-Status anzuzeigen, ohne den Befehl aufzuhängen, verwenden Sie stattdessen multipath -l.
  • Das Aktualisieren von pm-utils von einer Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta Version von pm-utils schlägt fehl und resultiert in dem folgenden Fehler: 
    error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/pm/sleep.d: cpio: rename
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Löschen Sie das Verzeichnis /etc/pm/sleep.d/ vor der Aktualisierung, um zu verhindern, dass dies passiert. Falls in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ irgendwelche Dateien existieren, verschieben Sie diese Dateien nach /etc/pm/hooks/.
  • Das Testen von Hardware für das Mellanox MT25204 hat ergeben, dass unter bestimmten Bedingungen mit hoher Auslastung ein interner Fehler auftritt. Wenn der ib_mthca-Treiber einen schwerwiegenden Fehler auf dieser Hardware meldet, liegt dies gewöhnlich an unzureichender Tiefe der Queues in Bezug auf die Anzahl ausstehender Arbeitsanfragen, die von der Benutzerapplikation generiert wurden.
    Auch wenn der Treiber die Hardware zurücksetzt und sich von einem solchen Ereignis erholt, gehen alle bestehenden Verbindungen zum Zeitpunkt des Fehlers verloren. Dies führt gewöhnlich zu einem Segmentation Fault der Benutzerapplikation. Wenn außerdem opensm zum Zeitpunkt läuft, wenn der Fehler auftritt, muss es manuell neu gestartet werden, um den Betrieb wieder normal aufzunehmen.
  • Beim Installieren von Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 auf einem Gast wird dieser so konfiguriert, dass er ausdrücklich einen temporären Installations-Kernel verwendet, bereitgestellt von dom0. Sobald die Installation abgeschlossen ist, kann er seinen eigenen Boot-Loader verwenden. Dies kann allerdings nur dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Gast beim ersten Neustart stattdessen zum Beenden gezwungen wird.
    Nach beendeter Gast-Installation wird aus diesem Grund der Klick auf den erscheinenden Reboot-Schalter den Gast beenden, ohne Neustart. Dieses Verhalten ist erwartet.
    Beachten Sie, dass beim anschließenden Neustart des Gastes dessen eigener Boot-Loader verwendet wird.
  • Das Ausführen von rpmbuild auf dem compiz Quell-RPM schlägt fehl, wenn ein KDE- oder qt-Development-Paket (z.B. qt-devel) installiert ist. Dies wird hervorgerufen durch einen Fehler im compiz Konfigurations Script.
    Für eine provisorische Lösung entfernen Sie jedes KDE- oder qt Development-Paket, bevor Sie versuchen, das compiz Paket von dem Quell-RPM zu erstellen.
  • Wenn Ihr System entweder mit einer ATI Radeon R500 oder R600 Grafikkarte ausgestattet ist, wird firstboot nach der Installation nicht laufen. Das System geht direkt zum grafischen Login-Schirm und überspringt firstboot vollständig. Wenn Sie versuchen, firstboot manuell auszuführen, z.B. von einem Failsafe Terminal aus, wird die X-Session abstürzen.
    Dieses Problem wird hervorgerufen durch den von der ATI Radeon R500/R600 Hardware genutzten Treiber. Der von diesen Grafikkarten genutzte Standard-Treiber ist noch in der Technologievorschau. Für eine provisorische Lösung sichern Sie Ihre /etc/X11/xorg.conf Datei, und konfigurieren anschließend X, um stattdessen den unterstützten Treibervesa zu verwenden. Führen Sie dafür den folgenden Befehl aus:
    system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa
    Sie können nun firstboot ausführen. Um zu Ihren alten Einstellungen zurückzukehren, stellen Sie die ursprüngliche /etc/X11/xorg.conf Datei wieder her.
  • Wenn Ihr System den TSC Timer verwendet, kann der Systemaufruf gettimeofday zurückspringen. Dies liegt an einem Überlauf Problem, das in einigen Fällen zu einem deutlichen vorwärtsspringen des TSC Timers führt. In diesem Fall wird der TSC Timer sich zwar selbst korrigieren, aber letztendlich eine Rückwärts-Verschiebung der Zeit registrieren.
    Dieses Problem ist besonders kritisch für zeitsensible Systeme, wie z.B. die von Datenbanken und Transaktionssystemen verwendeten. Falls Ihr System auf präzise Zeitberechnung angewiesen ist, empfiehlt Red Hat daher dringend, den Kernel auf die Verwendung eines anderen Timers (z.B. HPET) umzustellen.
  • Der Versuch, sniff auszuführen, kann in einem Fehler resultieren. Dies liegt daran, dass einige benötigte Pakete nicht mit dogtail installiert werden.
    Um dies zu verhindern, installieren Sie die folgenden Pakete manuell:
    • librsvg2
    • ghostscript-fonts
    • pygtk2-libglade
  • Thin Provisioning (also known as "virtual provisioning") will be first released with EMC Symmetrix DMX3 and DMX4. Please refer to the EMC Support Matrix and Symmetrix Enginuity code release notes for further details.
  • Wenn in /etc/multipath.conf die Einstellung max_fds auf unlimited gesetzt wird, verhindert dies den korrekten Start des multipathd-Daemons. Daher sollten Sie stattdessen einen ausreichend hohen Wert angeben.
  • SystemTap verwendet zur Zeit GCC, um Ereignisse im User Space zu überprüfen. GCC kann allerdings den Debugger nicht mit präzisen Informationen versorgen zur Location List für die Parameter. In einigen Fällen gelingt es GCC auch nicht, einige Parameter wiederzugeben. Infolgedessen geben SystemTap Scripts, die den User Space überprüfen, ggf. ungenaue Werte wieder.
  • Das Laptop Modell IBM T41 tritt nicht ordnungsgemäß in denSuspend Mode ein, daher wird der Suspend Mode weiterhin Akkulaufzeit verbrauchen wie im normalen Betrieb. Dies rührt daher, dass Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 noch nicht das radeonfb Modul enthält.
    Fügen Sie für eine provisorische Lösung ein Skript mit dem Namen hal-system-power-suspend zu /usr/share/hal/scripts/ hinzu, welches die folgenden Zeilen enthalten sollte: 
    	
chvt 1
radeontool light off
radeontool dac off
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Dieses Skript gewährleistet, dass IBM T41-Laptops ordnungsgemäß in denSuspend Mode eintreten. Um sicherzustellen, dass das System den normalen Betrieb richtig wieder aufnimmt, fügen Sie ebenso das Skript restore-after-standby zum gleichen Verzeichnis hinzu. Dieses Skript sollte folgende Zeilen enthalten:

  • Wenn das edac-Modul geladen wird, funktioniert der BIOS Memory Reporting nicht. Dies liegt daran, dass das edac-Modul das Register löscht, welches das BIOS zum melden von Speicherfehlern benutzt.
    Das aktuelle Red Hat Enterprise Linux Driver-Update Modell weist den Kernel an, alle verfügbaren Module standardmäßig zu laden (einschließlich der edac-Module). Falls Sie die Erstellung von BIOS Memory Reporting sicherstellen wollen, müssen Sie die edac-Module manuell auf die Blacklist setzen. Fügen Sie dazu die folgenden Zeilen zu /etc/modprobe.conf hinzu:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 kann das Anwachsen und Schrumpfen eines zugrundeliegendene Blockgeräts im Live-Betrieb ermitteln. Allerdings gibt es keine Möglichkeit, automatisch festzustellen, dass ein Gerät seine Größe verändert hat. Also sind manuelle Schritte nötig, um dies zu erkennen, und die Größe jeglicher Dateisysteme auf den fraglichen Geräten anzupassen. Wenn ein Blockgerät mit geänderter Größe gefunden wird, erscheint eine Meldung ähnlich der folgenden in der System-Protokolldatei: 
    VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sdi
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Wenn das Blockgerät angewachsen ist, dann kann diese Meldung problemlos ignoriert werden. Wenn allerdings das Blockgerät geschrumpft wurde, ohne dass zuvor die auf dem Blockgerät enthaltenen Daten verkleinert wurden, dann sind die auf dem Gerät enthaltenen Daten womöglich fehlerhaft.
    Es ist nur möglich, eine Größenveränderung im Live-Betrieb für ein Dateisystems vorzunehmen, wenn dieses auf der gesamten LUN (oder Blockgerät) erstellt wurde. Falls es eine Partitionstabelle auf dem Blockgerät gibt, dann muss das Dateisystem abgehängt werden, damit die Partitionstabelle aktualisiert werden kann.
  • Falls Ihr System ein GFS2 Dateisystem angehängt hat, könnte ein Knoten hängenbleiben, wenn von einem Knoten auf eine zwischengespeicherte Inode zugegriffen wird, die von einem anderen Knoten abgetrennt wird. Falls dies auftritt, ist der aufgehängte Knoten solange nicht verfügbar, bis Sie ihn abgrenzen und wiederherstellen mit der normalen Vorgangsweise zur Cluster-Wiederherstellung. Diese Funktion ruft gfs2_dinode_dealloc und shrink_dcache_memory auf, und wird auch in den vom Stapel hinterlassenen Spuren von jedem Prozess erscheinen, der in dem aufgehängten Knoten steckte.
    Dieses Problem betrifft nicht GFS2 Dateisysteme mit nur einem Knoten.
  • The following message may be encountered during system boot:

    This delay (which may be up to 10 seconds, dependant on the hardware configuration) is necessary to ensure that the kernel has completed scanning the disks.
  • Die aktuelle Implementation von User Payload Access in ipmitool ermöglicht es Ihnen zwar, Geräte zu konfigurieren, allerdings erlaubt es Ihnen nicht, die aktuellen Einstellungen dieser Geräte abzufragen.
  • Das Verwenden des swap --grow Parameters in einer Kickstart-Datei, ohne dabei gleichzeitig den --maxsize Parameter einzustellen, veranlasst Anaconda zum Verhängen einer Größenbeschränkung der Swap Partition (?). Es erlaubt ihr nicht zu wachsen, bis das Gerät voll ist.
    In Systemen mit weniger als 2 GB physikalischem Speicher, beträgt die verhängte Grenze das Doppelte der Größe des physikalischen Speichers. In Systemen mit mehr als 2 GB entspricht die verhängte Grenze der Größe des physikalischen Speichers zuzüglich 2 GB.
  • The gfs2_convert program may not free up all blocks from the GFS metadata that are no longer used under GFS2. These unused metadata blocks will be discovered and freed the next time gfs2_fsck is run on the file system. It is recommended that gfs2_fsck be run after the filesystem has been converted to free the unused blocks. These unused blocks will be flagged by gfs2_fsck with messages such as: 
    Ondisk and fsck bitmaps differ at block 137 (0x89) 
Ondisk status is 1 (Data) but FSCK thinks it should be 0 (Free)
Metadata type is 0 (free)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    These messages do not indicate corruption in the GFS2 file system, they indicate blocks that should have been freed, but were not. The number of blocks needing to be freed will vary depending on the size of the file system and block size. Many file systems will not encounter this issue at all. Large file systems may have a small number of blocks (typically less than 100).

    Dieser Fehler resultiert aus der fehlerhaften Anforderung, efirtc in einem inkorrekten Pfad zu erstellen. Allerdings wird der fragliche Geräte-Pfad auch statisch erstellt in initramfs, sobald der kdump Dienst gestartet wird. Aus diesem Grund ist die Erstellung eines Geräte-Knotens während der Laufzeit überflüssig, harmlos, und sollte die Leistung von kdump nicht beeinträchtigen.

cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-1.1.el5 - cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-2.el5
  • Group: System Environment/Daemons
  • Summary: A high-performance mail server with IMAP, POP3, NNTP and SIEVE support
  • Description: 
    The cyrus-imapd package contains the core of the Cyrus IMAP server.
It is a scaleable enterprise mail system designed for use from
small to large enterprise environments using standards-based
internet mail technologies.

A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin
board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from
other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed"
servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in and have no
system account on the server. The mailbox database is stored in parts
of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP server. All user
access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3 or KPOP
protocols. It also includes support for virtual domains, NNTP,
mailbox annotations, and much more. The private mailbox database design
gives the server large advantages in efficiency, scalability and
administratability. Multiple concurrent read/write connections to the
same mailbox are permitted. The server supports access control lists on
mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox hierarchies.

The Cyrus IMAP server supports the IMAP4rev1 protocol described
in RFC 3501. IMAP4rev1 has been approved as a proposed standard.
It supports any authentication mechanism available from the SASL
library, imaps/pop3s/nntps (IMAP/POP3/NNTP encrypted using SSL and
TLSv1) can be used for security. The server supports single instance
store where possible when an email message is addressed to multiple
recipients, SIEVE provides server side email filtering.

many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.

FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS
protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access
Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are
also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and
more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to
be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be
done when adding or deleting new users.

opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search engines, ht://Dig can
span several web servers at a site. The type of these different web servers
doesn't matter as long as they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol.
ht://Dig is also used by KDE to search KDE's HTML documentation.

ht://Dig was developed at San Diego State University as a way to search the
various web servers on the campus network.

  • Description: 
    The introduction of the Collections API by Sun in JDK 1.2 has been a
boon to quick and effective Java programming. Ready access to powerful
data structures has accelerated development by reducing the need for
custom container classes around each core object. Most Java2 APIs are
significantly easier to use because of the Collections API.
However, there are certain holes left unfilled by Sun's
implementations, and the Jakarta-Commons Collections Component strives
to fulfill them. Among the features of this package are:
- special-purpose implementations of Lists and Maps for fast access
- adapter classes from Java1-style containers (arrays, enumerations) to
Java2-style collections.
- methods to test or create typical set-theory properties of collections
such as union, intersection, and closure.

lam-7.1.2-8.fc6 - lam-7.1.2-14.el5
  • Group: Development/Libraries
  • Summary: The LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) programming environment.
  • Description: 
    LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an Message-Passing Interface (MPI)
programming environment and development system for heterogeneous
computers on a network. With LAM/MPI, a dedicated cluster or an
existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel
computer to solve one problem. LAM/MPI is considered to be "cluster
friendly" because it offers daemon-based process startup/control as
well as fast client-to-client message passing protocols. LAM/MPI can
use TCP/IP and/or shared memory for message passing (different RPMs
are supplied for this -- see the main LAM website at
http://www.mpi.nd.edu/lam/ for details).<

LAM features a full implementation of MPI version 1 (with the
exception that LAM does not support cancelling of sends), and much of
version 2. Compliant applications are source code portable between LAM
and any other implementation of MPI. In addition to meeting the
standard, LAM/MPI offers extensive monitoring capabilities to support
debugging. Monitoring happens on two levels: On one level, LAM/MPI has
the hooks to allow a snapshot of a process and message status to be
taken at any time during an application run. The status includes all
aspects of synchronization plus datatype map/signature, communicator
group membership and message contents (see the XMPI application on the
main LAM website). On the second level, the MPI library can produce a
cumulative record of communication, which can be visualized either at
runtime or post-mortem.

mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-19 - mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-44
  • Group: System Environment/Base
  • Summary: Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules.
  • Description: 
    Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block
device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem.

In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the
kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to
address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial
ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and
is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The
ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to
mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program creates such a
ramdisk using information found in the /etc/modules.conf file.

package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very
user-friendly. The output format needn't to be DVI, but also PDF,
when using pdflatex or similar tools.

Install tetex if you want to use the TeX text formatting system. Consider
to install tetex-latex (a higher level formatting package which provides
an easier-to-use interface for TeX). Unless you are an expert at using TeX,
you should also install the tetex-doc package, which includes the
documentation for TeX.

ypbind-1.19-8.el5 - ypbind-1.19-11.el5
  • Group: System Environment/Daemons
  • Summary: The NIS daemon which binds NIS clients to an NIS domain.
  • Description: 
    The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides
network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group
information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can allow users
to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has
the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in
the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages
(YP).

This package provides the ypbind daemon. The ypbind daemon binds NIS
clients to an NIS domain. Ypbind must be running on any machines
running NIS client programs.

Install the ypbind package on any machines running NIS client programs
(included in the yp-tools package). If you need an NIS server, you
also need to install the ypserv package to a machine on your network.
