Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-03-03 15:15:00 UTC Doc Text Cause:
In RHEL-6 the /etc/sysctl.conf is the default configuration file for the sysctl settings. Overrides can be specified in the /etc/sysctl.d directory. Tuned previously handled it the opposite way, which is common in some other distributions.

Consequence:
Configuration specified in the /etc/sysctl.d could be overridden by /etc/sysctl.conf.

Fix:
The handling of the /etc/sysctl.conf and the /etc/sysctl.d directory were reversed in tuned to match the RHEL-6 logic.

Result:
The /etc/sysctl.conf is processed first now and can be overriden by settings in /etc/sysctl.d directory.

Result:
The /etc/sysctl.conf is processed first now and can be overriden by settings in /etc/sysctl.d directory.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the /etc/sysctl.conf file is the default configuration file for the sysctl tool settings and overrides can be specified in the /etc/sysctl.d/ directory. The tuned service previously handled the settings the opposite way, which is common in certain distributions. Consequently, the configuration specified in /etc/sysctl.d/ could be overridden by /etc/sysctl.conf. The way tuned handles /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/sysctl.d/ has been reversed to match the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 logic. As a result, /etc/sysctl.conf is now processed first and can be overridden by settings in /etc/sysctl.d/.
