Description Chris Feist 2008-09-25 19:15:54 UTC

The gfs2-kmod package should no longer override the in kernel gfs2 module, and due to kernel symbol issues it should really just be an empty package that fixes the /etc/depmod.d/gfs2.conf config file.

Comment 1 Chris Feist 2008-09-25 19:17:15 UTC

Just a note, if this bug is not fixed then when the user installs the latest kernel with a new gfs2 module, it will not be used if they have any old gfs2-kmod packages installed.

Comment 4 Chris Feist 2008-09-25 20:12:43 UTC

This fix is built in gfs2-kmod-1.116-1.12.el5.

We need a release note to document that installing the new gfs2-kmod will
disable the external gfs2-kmod module on older kernels.

Doing yum update leads to:


Transaction Check Error:
  file /etc/depmod.d/gfs2.conf from install of kmod-gfs2-xen-1.116-1.14.el5 conflicts with file from package kmod-gfs2-xen-1.92-1.1.el5

  file /etc/depmod.d/gfs2.conf from install of kmod-gfs2-1.116-1.14.el5 conflicts with file from package kmod-gfs2-1.92-1.1.el5


Is this supposed to be fixed or is desired behavior? Please advise. 
Do we need separate bz for that?

Thanks,
Alexander.

Comment 8 Chris Feist 2008-10-15 20:16:00 UTC

Marking this a DUP of 486883 because I think the beset way to fix this problem is by having an Obsoletes in the kernel.
