Fixed In Version: ovirt-node-1.0-84.el5_8.1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Attempts to change the root user's password would result in a "device busy" error on the "/etc/shadow/" file. This occurred because multipathd held a lock on the file. The script that changes the password now restarts multipathd to release the lock, avoiding the "device busy" error.
