Hi Alexnder,
Thanks for the info. I know its quite old but I cant update as its running with cluster suite and its a production unit. Â Moreover its not feasible to upgrade as I have hundreds for apps and data lying on the system. Backing all of this not very continent.Â
First of all, you can update to 5.10 using yum (a 'yum update' will automagically update to 5.10). I don't know how this would affect the clustering, though.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for quick response. Does it mean that I cant have glib 2.7 on centos 5.4?
Right, you can't. If you install a different glibc than the one provided by CentOS 5, then your system will be completely broken. The glibc is a very important and central library set for the system.

Btw. CentOS 5.4 is outdated, vulnerable and the current release is 5.10. Please update.

As I just pointed out in a previous email to the list - I did a yum upgrade from 6.4 to 6.5 and is broke our OSPF network. I had to revert back to the last 6.4 kernel to get it working again.
That certainly does happen and individual packages can be excluded (and the bugs reported) ... but upgrades still need to happen whenever possible.
We have released 4 different kernels since 6.5 (so 5 kernels including the one on the 6.5 iso ... so keep checking if it works).
Again, these updates happen because there are issues that need to be fixed, and it is very important that they get applied.
Hi Johnny,
First let me thank you and the CentOS team for the great work that you do!
Secondly I don't disagree about the need to keep our systems current, but Hersh indicated that this was a clustered production system and I was merely pointing out that there could be breakage by doing an upgrade.
Regards,
