Hello,
I would like to ask, if it is possible to use the yum-update on efa without crashing the software.
And: If I do auto-updates (Efa) - are custom changes on postfix's main.cf overwritten?
Thanks and have a nice weekend

Re: Update-Behaviour
If you run yum update...here's the safer method...
Auto updates should leave main.cf intact as it uses the above yum update as well.
Code: Select all
yum --exclude="kernel* mysql* postfix* mailscanner* clamav* clamd*" update

Even safer would be to edit /etc/yum.conf and add the followingshawniverson wrote:If you run yum update...here's the safer method...

Re: Update-Behaviour
Adding this to yum.conf will cause problems down the road when these packages are actually targeted for update.
Also, kernel is excluded because many EFA users run on VMware, and vmware-tools or open-vmtools must be recompiled after every kernel update.

Hi there,
would it be safe to say, that if you are running on hardware, or possibly KVM, it would be safe to update the kernel?

Re: Update-Behaviour
It should be, I run a few systems on bare hardware and did a number of kernel upgrades without issue.
As you run it on bare hardware and/or in KVM I assume you have enough knowledge to fix possible issues.
Except VMware tools there are no items in EFA that require an specific kernel version.

Version eFa 4.x now available!
