Shells and Command Lines
The following shell and command line components are deprecated in Oracle Linux 8.
OpenEXR
As a consequence of the OpenEXR deprecation, the EXR image format is no
longer supported in the imagecodex module.
Dump Utility
With this removal of support for the dump utility, use other commands to
back up file systems, for example, tar, dd, or
bacula.
The restore component of the dump package remains
supported and available as a separate restore package.
hidepid=n Mount Option
As a mount option, hidepid=n controls
access to /proc/[pip]. The option is incompatible with the
systemd infrastructure and might cause certain systemd
services to generate SELinux AVC denial messages, which would inhibit completion of other
operations.
ABRT Tool
The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) is used to detect and report application crashes.
Instead of this tool, use the systemd-coredump tool for logging and
storing core dumps that are generated when program crash.
udev Rename Device Helper Utility
The udev helper utility /usr/lib/udev/rename_device for
renaming network interfaces is deprecated.
ReaR Crontab
The /etc/cron.d/rear crontab is deprecated in the rear
package. The crontab utility monitors for any changes in the disk layout and runs
rear mkrescue if changes are detected. If you require the
rear functionality, configure the ReaR utility to run
periodically.
