Recommended update for blktrace
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for blktrace
This update for blktrace provides a fix for the following
issue:
If two instances of blktrace are executed on the same
device, one would fail to initialize and then tear down
the devices it was configured to use, even when they
weren't set up by that instance.
This could result in tearing down running traces, which
would end up leaving the debugfs files around without a
way to clean them up. Further instances of blktrace on
that device would fail.
