via mailing lists during the beta period.
The development of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is closely aligned with
Fedora Core 6 and the upstream community.
This is the first Red Hat Enterprise Linux release that includes Xen
based open source virtualization technology. The Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 Beta 1 release contains virtualization on the i386 and x86_64
architectures as well as a technology preview for IA64. We are
particularly interested in your feedback on the Xen technology.
Other focus areas for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta 1 testing include
the following:
* Network storage (Autofs, iSCSI)
* Kexec / Kdump (replacing Diskdump and Netdump)
* Smartcard integration
* SELinux Security
* Installer improvements
* Clustering and Cluster File systems
* Analysis and Development Tools (SystemTap, Frysk)
* Stateless Linux Enablers
* Infiniband and RDMA (OpenFabrics.Org)
* New Driver Model for better integration of out-of-kernel-tree drivers
This beta release supports a wide range of hardware platforms including:
- 32-bit x86-compatible (i386/i686)
- 64-bit AMD64 and Intel EM64T (x86_64)
- 64-bit Intel Itanium2 (ia64)
- 64-bit IBM eServer iSeries and pSeries and POWER (ppc64)
- 64-bit IBM eServer zSeries (s390x)
New Packaging Structure
-----------------------
The architecture of the media kit and RHN channel structure has changed
from previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The number of
different variants and media kits has been reduced to the following:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Client
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client is available for the i386 and x86_64
architectures only.
Beyond the core distribution, these media kits contain a number of
optional directories that provide additional functionality.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
* Cluster - Fail-Over clustering and Web load balancing
* ClusterStorage - Parallel storage access via clustered volume manager
and GFS cluster file system
* Virtualization - Xen virtualization environment
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client
* Desktop - Desktop applications including Evolution and OpenOffice (not
available on the Server)
* Workstation - Full Engineering Workstation and Developer package set
* Virtualization - Xen virtualization environment
Accessing the Software
----------------------
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta 1 is made available to existing Red Hat
Enterprise Linux subscribers via RHN. The beta channels will
automatically appear in your account within the next 24 hours.
Installable binary and source ISO images are available via Red Hat
Network at:
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/download_isos_full.pxt
You will be required to login using a valid RHN account with active
entitlements. If you'd like to test our Beta product and don't have an
active RHEL entitlement, please contact contact a local Red Hat
representative or request an evaluation entitlement at
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/eval/
Note that while this page says Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, you
automatically receive Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta 1 access along
with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 trial subscription.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is still in development and therefore the
contents of the media-kit, the implemented features and the supported
configurations are subject to change before the release of the final
product. The supplied beta packages and CD images are intended for
testing purposes only. Remember that this early access software is not
supported and is not intended for production environments! Do not
publish any benchmark or performance results based on this beta release.
Upgrading from beta releases to the GA product will not be supported.
Installing the Software / Registration Key
------------------------------------------
The installer requires entering a registration key in order to configure
the repositories offered for installation. In this beta release, the
registration code implementation is a stub and will accept a character
combination that then is mapped to the repository selection. The keys
are:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
V ==> Virtualization
C ==> Clustering
S ==> ClusterStorage
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client
D ==> Desktop
W ==> Workstation
V ==> Virtualization
On a Server media kit, entering "SV" in the registration code dialog
will activate the ClusterStorage and Virtualization repositories.
Note: On the client "D" should always be entered.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta 1 Release Notes
Copyright (c) 2006 Red Hat, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The following topics are covered in this document:
o Installation Related Notes
o General Information
o Internationalization
o Kernel Notes
o Changes to Packages
For late-breaking information on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91 that
did not appear in these Release Notes, refer to the Red Hat
Knowledgebase at the following URL:
[1]https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/knowledgebase/
Installation Related Notes
The following section includes information specific to installation
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the Anaconda installation program.
Note
In order to upgrade an already-installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.91, you must use Red Hat Network to update those packages that have
changed.
You may use Anaconda to perform a fresh installation of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.91 or to perform an upgrade from the latest
updated version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.91.
Subversion
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91, the Subversion version control
system is linked against Berkeley DB 4.3. If upgrading from Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 and any Subversion repositories have been created
on the system which use the Berkeley DB backend "BDB" (rather than
the pure filesystem-based "FSFS" backend), special care must be taken
to ensure the repositories can be accessible after the upgrade. This
process must be followed on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 system,
prior to upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91:
1. Shut down any running processes and ensure that no processes can
access the repository (for example, httpd or svnserve; or any
local users with direct access).
2. Take a backup of the repository; for example:
svnadmin dump /path/to/repository | gzip > repository-backup.gz
3. Run the svnadmin recover recover command on the repository:
svnadmin recover /path/to/repository
4. Delete any unused log files in the repository:
svnadmin list-unused-dblogs /path/to/repository | xargs rm -vf
5. Delete any remaining shared-memory files in the repository:
rm -f /path/to/repository/db/__db.0*
o If you are copying the contents of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.91 CD-ROMs (in preparation for a network-based installation,
for example) be sure to copy the CD-ROMs for the operating system
only. Do not copy the Extras CD-ROM, or any of the layered
product CD-ROMs, as this will overwrite files necessary for
Anaconda's proper operation.
These CD-ROMs must be installed after Red Hat Enterprise Linux
has been installed.
General Information
This section contains general information not specific to any other
section of this document.
Web Server Packaging Changes:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91 now includes version 2.2 of the
Apache HTTP Server. This release brings a number of
improvements over the 2.0 series, including:
o improved caching modules (mod_cache, mod_disk_cache,
mod_mem_cache)
o a new structure for authentication and authorization
support, replacing the security modules provided in
previous versions
o support for proxy load balancing (mod_proxy_balance)
o large file support for 32-bit platforms (including
support for serving files larger than 2GB)
o new modules mod_dbd and mod_filter, which bring SQL
database support and enhanced filtering
The following changes have been made to the default httpd
configuration:
o The mod_cern_meta and mod_asis modules are no longer
loaded by default.
o The mod_ext_filter module is now loaded by default.
If upgrading from a previous release of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, the httpd configuration will need to be updated for
httpd 2.2. For more information, refer to
[2]http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html.
Third-party Modules
Any third-party modules compiled for httpd 2.0 must be
rebuilt for httpd 2.2.
php
Version 5.1 of PHP is now included in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.91, which includes a number of changes to the
language along with significant performance improvements.
Some scripts might need to be adapted for use with the new
version; please refer to the link below for more information
on migrating from PHP 4.3 to PHP 5.1:
[3]http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.php
The /usr/bin/php executable is now built using the CLI
command-line SAPI, rather than the CGI SAPI. Use
/usr/bin/php-cgi for CGI SAPI. The php-cgi executable also
includes FastCGI support.
The following extension modules have been added:
o The mysqli extension, a new interface designed
specifically for MySQL 4.1. This is included in the
php-mysql package.
o date, hash, Reflection, SPL and SimpleXML (built-in with
the php package)
o pdo and pdo_psqlite (in the php-pdo package)
o pdo_mysql (in the php-mysql package)
o pdo_pgsql (in the php-pgsql package)
o pdo_odbc (in the php-odbc package)
o soap (in the php-soap package)
o xmlreader and xmlwriter (in the php-xml package)
o dom (replacing the domxml extension; in the php-xml
package)
The following extension modules are no longer included:
o dbx
o dio
o yp
o overload
o domxml
The PEAR Framework
The PEAR framework is now packaged in the php-pear package.
Only the following PEAR components are included in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux:
o Archive_Tar
o Console_Getopt
o XML_RPC
Stateless Linux
Included in this beta of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91 are
enabling infrastructure pieces for Stateless Linux. Stateless
Linux is a new way of thinking about how a system is to be
run and managed, designed to simplify provisioning and
management of large numbers of systems by making them easily
replaceable. This is primarily accomplished by establishing
prepared system images which get replicated and managed
across a large number of stateless systems, running the
operating system in a read-only manner.
In its current state of development, the stateless features
are subsets of the intended goals. As such, the capability is
being labeled as a "technology preview" status. This suggests
that there are additional portions of the feature which will
become available over time.
The following is a list of the initial capabilities included
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91 beta:
o running a stateless image over NFS
o running a stateless image via loopback over NFS (*)
o running on iSCSI (**)
Support for running on a local fileystem with changes synced
from a master server is not yet included, due to required
kernel changes.
It is highly recommended that those interested in testing
stateless code read the HOWTO at
[4]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinuxHOWTO and join
[5]stateless-list redhat com
Internationalization
This section includes information on language support under Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.91.
Input Methods
SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) has replaced IIIMF as the
input method system for Asian and other languages in this
release. The default GTK Input Method Module for SCIM is
`scim-bridge` by Ryo Dairiki.
Below are the default trigger hotkeys for different
languages:
o Japanese: Zenkaku-Hankaku or Alt-`
o Korean: Shift-Space
o Other: Ctrl-Space
If SCIM is installed, it runs by default for all users.
Language Installation
SCIM is installed by default for most Asian installations.
Otherwise, you can use the package manager (pirut) to install
additional language support using the "Languages" component,
or run this command:
su -c 'yum groupinstall language-support'
In the command above, language can be either Assamese,
Bengali, Chinese, Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Kannada, Korean,
Punjabi, Tamil, or Thai.
xinputrc
At X startup, xinput.sh now sources ~/.xinputrc or
/etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc instead of searching config files
under ~/.xinput.d/ or /etc/xinit/xinput.d/.
If you have SCIM installed but do not wish to run it on your
desktop, you can disable it by running im-chooser.
Pango Support in Firefox
Firefox in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91 is built with Pango,
which provides better support for certain scripts, such as
Indic and some CJK scripts.
To disable the use of Pango, set MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 in your
environment before launching Firefox.
Fonts
Support is now available for synthetic emboldening of fonts
that do not have a bold face.
New fonts for Chinese have been added: AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni
(uming.ttf) and AR PL ZenKai Uni (ukai.ttf). The default font
is AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni, which contains embedded bitmaps. If
you prefer outline glyphs, you can add the following section
in your ~/.font.conf file:
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<test name="family" compare="eq">
<string>AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni</string>
</test>
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
23.3. gtk2 IM submenu
The Gtk2 context menu IM submenu no longer appears by
default. You can enable it on the command line with the
following command:
gconftool-2 --type bool --set
'/desktop/gnome/interface/show_input_method_menu' true
Kernel Notes
This section notes the differences between 2.6.9 (on which Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 is based) and 2.6.18 (which Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.91 will inherit) as of July 12, 2006. Additional features
which we are currently working on upstream that will appear late in
2.6.18 or 2.6.19 are not highlighted here. In other words, this list
only shows what is already included in the upstream Linus tree; not
what is work-in-progress. Consequently, this list is not a final, or
complete list of the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91 features,
although it does give a good overview of what can be expected from
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.91. Also note that this section only picks
out highlights of upstream changes, and as such it is not fully
comprehensive. It does not include mention of several low-level
hardware support enhancements and device driver info.
The following is a good source for a next level-of-detail view:
[6]http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges
Performance / Scalability
o Big Kernel Lock preemption (2.6.10)
o Voluntary preemption patches (2.6.13) (subset in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4)
o Lightweight userspace priority inheritance (PI) support
for futexes, useful for real-time applications (2.6.18)
o ref: [7]http://lwn.net/Articles/178253/
o New 'mutex' locking primitive. (2.6.16)
o High resolution timers. (2.6.16)
o In contrast to the low-resolution timeout API
implemented in kernel/timer.c, hrtimers provide
finer resolution and accuracy depending on system
configuration and capabilities. These timers are
currently used for itimers, POSIX timers, nanosleep
and precise in-kernel timing.
o Modular, on-the-fly switchable I/O schedulers (2.6.10)
o This was on-the-fly only by boot option in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 (Also system-wide instead of
per-queue)
o Conversion to 4-level page tables (2.6.11)
o allows x86-64 to increase from 512G to 128TB of
memory
o New Pipe implementation (2.6.11)
o 30-90% performance improvement in pipe bandwidth
o circular buffer allows more buffering rather than
blocking writers
o "Big Kernel Semaphore": Turns the Big Kernel Lock into a
semaphore
o reduces latency by breaking up long lock hold times
and adding voluntary preemption
o X86 "SMP alternatives" (optimizes a single kernel image
at runtime according with the available platform)
o ref: [8]http://lwn.net/Articles/164121/
Generic Feature Additions
o inotify (2.6.13)
o works through a new character pseudo-device. Any
application which wants to monitor filesystem
activity need only open /dev/inotify and issue one
of two syscalls to it.
o kexec and kdump (2.6.13)
o Process Events Connector (2.6.15)
o reports fork, exec, id change, and exit events for
all processes to userspace. Applications that may
find these events useful include
accounting/auditing (for example, ELSA), system
activity monitoring (for example, top), security,
and resource management (for example, CKRM).
Semantics provide the building blocks for features
like per-user-namespace, "files as directories" and
versioned filesystems.
o Generic RTC (RealTime Clock) subsystem (2.6.17)
o splice - a new IO mechanism which avoids data copies
when transferring data between applications. (2.6.17)
o ref:[9]http://lwn.net/Articles/178199/
o Block queue IO tracing support (blktrace). This allows
users to see any traffic happening on a block device
queue. In other words, you can get very detailed
statistics of what your disks are doing. (2.6.17)
o lockdep, a kernel lock validator (2.6.18)
o ref:[10]http://lwn.net/Articles/185666/
Filesystem / LVM
o EXT3
o Ext3 block reservation (2.6.10) (in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4)
o Ext3 online resizing patches (2.6.10) (in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4)
o Support for Extended Attributes in the body of
large inode in ext3: saves space and improves
performance in some cases (2.6.11)
o Increases max. ext3 filesystem size from 8TB to
16TB (2.6.18)
o Device mapper multipath support (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4)
o ACL support for NFSv3 and NFSv4 (2.6.13)
o NFS: support large reads and writes on the wire (2.6.16)
o The Linux NFS client now supports transfer sizes up
to 1MB.
o FUSE (2.6.14)
o Allows to implement a fully functional filesystem
in a userspace program
o VFS changes
o The "shared subtree" patches have been merged.
(2.6.15); ref: [11]http://lwn.net/Articles/159077/
o autofs4 - updated to provide direct mount support for
userspace autofs (2.6.18)
o cachefs core enablers (2.6.18)
Security
o Address space randomization:
o With these patches applied, the stack of each
process will begin at a random location, and the
beginning of the memory area used for mmap() (which
is where shared libraries go, among other things)
will be randomized as well (2.6.12) (in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4).
o Multilevel security implementation for SELinux (2.6.12)
o Audit subsystem
o Support for process-context based filtering
(2.6.17)
o More filter rule comparators (2.6.17)
o TCP/UDP getpeersec: Enabled a security-aware application
to retrieve the security context of an IPSec security
association that a particular TCP or UDP socket is using
(2.6.17)
Networking
o Added several TCP congestion modules (2.6.13)
o IPV6 - Support several new sockopt / ancillary data in
Advanced API (2.6.14)
o IPv4/IPv6: UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
Scatter-gather approach: (2.6.15)
o UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network
stack will offload the IP fragmentation
functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware.
This will reduce the overhead of stack in
fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized
packets.
o Added nf_conntrack subsystem: (2.6.15)
o The existing connection tracking subsystem in
netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were two
choices present to add connection tracking support
for ipv6; either duplicate all of the ipv4
connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart,
or (the choice taken by these patches) design a
generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6
and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP,
etc.) connection tracking helper module to be
written. In fact, nf_conntrack is capable of
working with any layer 3 protocol.
o IPV6
o RFC 3484 compliant source address selection
(2.6.15)
o Added support for Router Preference (RFC4191)
(2.6.17)
o Added Router Reachability Probing (RFC4191)
(2.6.17)
o Wireless updates:
o Hardware crypto and fragmentation offload support
o QoS (WME) support, "wireless spy support"
o mixed PTK/GTK
o CCMP/TKIP support and WE-19 HostAP support
o BCM43xx wireless driver
o ZD1211 wireless driver
o WE-20, version 20 of the Wireless Extensions
(2.6.17)
o Added the hardware-independent software MAC layer,
"Soft MAC" (2.6.17)
o Added LEAP authentication type
o Added generic segmentation offload (GSO) (2.6.18)
o Added new per-packet access controls to SELinux,
replacing the old packet controls. Added secmark support
to core networking, to allow security subsystems to
place security markings on network packets (2.6.18).
o DCCPv6 (2.6.16)
Hardware Enablement
Note
This section only enumerates the most generic features among
many.
o x86-64 clustered APIC support (2.6.10)
o Infiniband support (2.6.11) (mostly in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4)
o Hot plug
o Added generic memory add/remove and supporting
functions for memory hotplug (2.6.15)
o (i386) hot plug CPU support of physical add of new
processors (hotplug disable/enable of already
existing CPUs was already supported)
o SATA/libata enhancements, additional hardware support
(in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4)
o A completely reworked libata error handler. The
result of all this work should be a more robust
SATA subsystem which can recover from a wider range
of errors.
o Native Command Queuing (NCQ). NCQ is the SATA
version of tagged command queuing - the ability to
have several I/O requests to the same drive
outstanding at the same time. (2.6.18)
o Hotplug support (2.6.18)
o EDAC support (2.6.16) (in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4)
o The EDAC goal is to detect and report errors that
occur within the computer system.
o Added a new ioatdma driver for the Intel(R) I/OAT DMA
engine (2.6.18)
NUMA / Multi-core
o Cpusets (2.6.12)
o Cpusets now provide a mechanism for assigning a set
of CPUs and Memory Nodes to a set of tasks. Cpusets
constrain the CPU and Memory placement of tasks
only to the resources within a task's current
cpuset. These are essential in managing dynamic job
placement on large systems.
o Numa-aware slab allocator (2.6.14)
o This creates slabs on multiple nodes and manages
slabs in such a way that locality of allocations is
optimized. Each node has its own list of partial,
free and full slabs. All object allocations for a
node occur from node-specific slab lists.
o Swap migration. (2.6.16)
o Swap migration allows the moving of physical
location of pages between nodes in a NUMA system
while the process is running.
o Huge pages (2.6.16)
o Added NUMA policy support for huge pages: The
huge_zonelist() function in the memory policy layer
provides a list of zones ordered by NUMA distance.
The hugetlb layer will walk that list looking for a
zone that has available huge pages but is also in
the nodeset of the current cpuset.
o hugepages now obey cpusets
o Netfilter ip_tables: NUMA-aware allocation. (2.6.16)
o Multi-core
o Added a new scheduler domain for representing
multi-core with shared caches between cores. This
makes it possible to make smarter cpu scheduling
decisions on such systems, improving performance
greatly for some cases (2.6.17).
o Power saving policy for the CPU scheduler - With
multicore/smt cpus, the power consumption can be
improved by letting some packages idle while others
do all the work, instead of spreading the tasks
over all CPUs.
