2 Fixed Issues

This chapter describes the fixed issues for Oracle Linux 7 Update 1.

avahi-daemon Failure to Start with UEK R3

With the version of UEK R3 provided in this update the avahi-daemon starts without requiring the disallow-other-stacks entry in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf to be commented out. (Bug ID 18459758)

btrfs-convert Failure

The btrfs-convert command no longer fails when invoked to convert an ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system to btrfs. (Bug ID 18534417)

Error Messages on Restarting the RDMA Service

When the rds_ib_srq parameter for the rds_rdma module is enabled and the module is in use, restarting the rdma service no longer generates error messages that are visible in dmesg or /var/log/messages. (Bug ID 19010606)

Installation Failure for ext3 / and /boot

Rebooting following installation no longer fails if you format both / and /boot as ext3 file systems. (Bug ID 19171480)

Installation Failure if a btrfs Partition Exists

Installation of Oracle Linux 7 could fail if btrfs partitions were already present from a previous installation. The Anaconda installer has been amended to correct this issue. (Bug ID 20113551)

Keyboard Input During Installation Under Hyper-V

Keyboard input is now accepted during installation of a generation 2 virtual machine under Hyper-V. (Bug ID 19843591)

LDAP Authentication Failure for Large UID

An LDAP user account with a UID greater than 2147483647 (2^31-1) failed PAM authentication. This update provides a version of the nss-pam-ldap module that supports UID and GID values of up to 4294967295 (2^32-1) for LDAP accounts. (Bug ID 19487091)

lxc-snapshot

The lxc-snapshot command failed if the /containersnaps directory did not exist. As btrfs snapshots must exist as subvolumes of the parent /container, the workaround was to create /containersnaps as a symbolic link to the directory /container/snapshots. It is recommended that you install lxc-1.0.7-2.0.3 rather than use the workaround. This package uses an upstream fix instead of the workaround so you should remove the /containersnaps directory or symbolic link if it exists.

SELinux Warnings from sosreport

The sosreport -o selinux -a command no longer reports SELinux warnings for files that do not belong to RPMs. (Bug ID 18913115)

XFS File Attributes Leading to Panic or Reboot

Attempting to add many attributes to a file in an XFS file system under UEK R3 no longer results in a kernel panic or a system reboot. (Bug ID 18504299)
