1.35.1. RHBA-2009:1392: bug-fix and enhancement update
Updated device-mapper packages that include various bug fixes and enhancements are now available.
The device-mapper packages provide a library required by logical volume management utilities such as LVM2 and dmraid.
This update applies the following bug fixes:
- Fixes crash when dmsetup -U, -G, and -M options are used.
- Enforces device name length and character limitations.
This update adds the following enhancements:
- Adds "all" field to "-o fields" option, expanding to all fields of report type. That is, you can add -o <field_name> to specify which fields to print in certain commands; "-o all" expands to all possible fields known to report.
- Library now exports dm_tree_node_size_changed function and correctly propagates table size change up the device tree.
- Prints warning message if application releases the library and a memory pool is still in use (indicating a possible memory leak).
- Library is now compiled from merged device-mapper LVM2 tree (device-mapper library is now part of LVM2 source code tree).
All users of device-mapper should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues and include these enhancements.
