[Triumf-linux-managers] SL6.1 nfs-utils snafu

[Konstantin Olchanski]

Hi, guys - there are several bum SL6.1 nfs-utils rpm packages
floating around - on affected machines, "/" is full of core dumps
from nfs umount (also kills the machine if your "/" is not huge
and fills to 100%).

As of today, the correct fix for this problem is:
yum downgrade nfs-utils-1.2.3-15.el6

(As of tomorrow, who knows).

Machines with newly installed SL6.1 are not affected (the problem only
existed for a few weeks in December and a few weeks on January). But all
SL6.1 machines with nightly yum updates got the bum package pushed into them.

For more information, please read the nfs-utils discussions
on the SL-devel and SL-users mailing lists. (There are not announcements
of this problem and fix on the SL-annouce list).
