Purpose

Exadata Storage Servers and database servers running Oracle Linux may encounter a file system corruption that results in the root file system mounted read-only after reboot.  This issue may occur only if the following conditions are met:

• Exadata hardware is Oracle's Sun servers.  HP Oracle Database Machine servers are not affected by this issue.
• Installed Exadata version is older than 11.2.2.2.0.
• Installed Linux ofa package is older than 1.5.1-4.0.28.

This document explains how to reduce the chance of root file system corruption prior to performing system reboots that occur during Exadata Storage Server and database server software updates.
