Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-186
2004-06-17
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : sysstat
Version     : 5_0_1
Release     : 4
Summary     : The sar and iostat system monitoring commands.
Description :
This package provides the sar and iostat commands for Linux. Sar and
iostat enable system monitoring of disk, network, and other IO
activity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The startup script would spew an accounting record to the console
on boot. The parsing code contained a (harmless) buffer overrun.
The interrupt parsing code could not properly understand 2.6 interrupt
information, although it happened to normally work. Sysstat was in /usr
but ran before NFS mounts.

Bugzilla entries fixed with this update: #117182, #124035
