[Ksplice][Virtuozzo 4 Updates] New updates available via Ksplice (OpenVZ 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3)

[Nelson Elhage]

Synopsis: OpenVZ 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running Virtuozzo 4 or the OpenVZ RHEL 5 kernel can now use Ksplice to
patch against the latest Parallels Virtuozzo Containers kernel update,
CU-2.6.18028stab085.3.

Please note that this update only affects systems running kernel version
2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.2.

This update is not yet available for systems running Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers 4.0, since Parallels has not yet released a version of this
kernel for that product.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Virtuozzo 4 or
OpenVZ on RHEL 5 install these updates.  You can install these updates
by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any additional action.


DESCRIPTION

* Kernel oops when running nfsd.

A missing check in atime handling could result in a kernel oops when running an
in-kernel NFS server.
