[Shorewall-users] Beware Kernel 2.4.15

[Tom E. <te...@sh...>]

The 2.4.15 Kernel was released on Thursday and I, among others, have foun=
d it=20
to cause File System corruption at umount(). www.shorewall.net was down f=
or=20
an hour or so yesterday as a result of this problem :-(

The attached patch from Al Viro corrects the underlying problem but does =
not=20
repair damage already done. If you have rebooted while running a 2.4.15=20
kernel, it is a good idea to rebuild your kernel with the attached patch =
and=20
when installing the new kernel, use "shutdown -F -r now" to repair any da=
mage=20
that may have occurred.
