I've got several CentOS 6 servers. One of those servers was rebooted over the weekend and suddenly I'm getting told that Kernelcare updates are available for that server. But none of the other CentOS 6 servers have updates available
The server that was rebooted:
# uname -r
2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64
# kcarectl --check
No patches applied, but some are available, run 'kcarectl --update'.
# kcarectl --uname
2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64
# kcarectl --version
2.16-5
A server that has not been rebooted:
# uname -r
2.6.32-696.18.7.el6.x86_64
# kcarectl --check
The latest patch is applied.
# kcarectl --uname
2.6.32-754.9.1.el6
# kcarectl --version
2.16-5
To me, this would seem to indicate something is amiss. Do we have to reboot our Kernelcare servers periodically to rebase them up-to-date kernels? Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of rebootless kernel updates?
