Re: [Users] vdsm issue
I found it. My provider (ovh) provides own kernel with grsecurity patch. During upgrade F15-F16 it wasn't changed. In grub config files, kernel from ovh has lower number (09) than regular distro kernels (10). Due to that fact I was constantly starting with grsecurity kernel from F15. Without proper configuration for gr regular users (like vdsm) were limited. After switch to default distro kernel, everything is ok. -- Michal On Thu, 1 Mar 2012 14:12:06 +0100 Michal Kopacki mkopa...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I'm not sure if this is proper list but maybe someone will help.
