If you log into the switch with “admin start” while Matrix

Server is running, this switch problem can affect fencing

operations and may cause the matrix to hang.

Workaround. Avoid putting the switch into “admin start” mode

while Matrix Server is running. If it is necessary to use this

mode while Matrix Server is running, limit the use of the mode

as much as possible.

8346 Partition tables can be constructed incorrectly

When partitioning a disk, ensure that the first partition begins at

an offset beyond sector one on the disk. This is necessary

because the Linux kernel supports a number of different

partition table formats, and some of them make use of sector

one in addition to sector zero. If sector one is a data sector in a

partition, it is possible that user data written to that sector may

subsequently cause the Linux kernel to “recognize” a different

partition table format than is actually there, which could result

in the partitions being “constructed” incorrectly by the kernel.
