2008.11.05: ASMLib 2.0.5

 

Version 2.0.5 of the ASMLib kernel driver is now released. Source archives are available on oss.oracle.com. Version 2.0.5 is for 2.6 kernels.

 

The 2.0.5 release of the kernel driver fixes a bug in the lookup of disk objects. If disks are opened and closed rapidly and repeatedly, the lookup code could mistake one disk object for another. This sort of repeated open and close is not a part of normal operation, and this bug is very unlikely to be hit by ASM's normal behavior. Users of the 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 drivers do not need to upgrade unless they are hitting this issue.

 

Supported binary RPMs of the driver are available from otn.oracle.com.
