Table of Contents
This chapter describes new features, major enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes that are introduced in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2. These features generally apply to both the x86_64 and Arm (aarch64) platforms., unless otherwise noted. For information that applies specifically to the Arm platform, see Chapter 6, Release-Specific Information for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) .
Starting with Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) is included on the installation image, along with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). For new installations, UEK R6 is enabled and installed by default and is the default kernel on first boot.
UEK R6 is a heavily tested and optimized operating system kernel for Oracle Linux 7 Update 7, and later, and Oracle Linux 8 Update 1, and later. The kernel is developed, built, and tested on Arm (aarch64), Intel x86, and AMD x86 (x86_64). platforms. It is based on the mainline Linux kernel version 5.4. This release also updates drivers and includes bug and security fixes.
Note that UEK R6 maintains compatibility with RHCK and does not disable any features that are enabled in RHCK. Additional features are enabled to provide support for key functional requirements and patches are applied to improve performance and optimize the kernel for use on Oracle operating systems.
For more details, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
The following notable features, enhancements, and changes apply to the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 on the x86_64 platform.
For more information about the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) release that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8 Update 2, refer to the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
kexec-tools documentation includes Kdump FCoE target support.
The documentation for the
kexec-tools
now includes Kdump FCoE target support information. This
enhancement enables users to obtain a better understanding
of the status and details of
kdump
on
FCoE target support.
numactl manual page updated to clarify information about memory usage.
The
numactl(8)
manual page now
explicitly mentions that the memory usage information
reflects just the resident pages on the system. This
change eliminates any possible confusion with regards to
whether the documented memory usage information refers to
resident pages or virtual memory.
rngd can run with non-root privileges.
In this update, the random number generator daemon
(
rngd
) is capable of running with
non-root user privileges, which enhances system security.
The
rngd
daemon checks whether data
that is supplied by the source of randomness is
sufficiently random and then stores it in the kernel’s
random-number entropy pool.
Secure Boot available by default.
The default value for the
secure=
boot
option was not set to
auto
in previous
releases, thereby rendering this feature unavailable. In
this update, the default value for this boot option is set
to
auto
and the secure boot feature is
now available, unless it was previously configured
otherwise.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 introduces the following features, enhancements, and changes to compilers and developer toolsets.
The following compiler toolsets have been updated. These toolsets are distributed as Application Streams in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2:
Clang toolset updated to version 9.0.0. This toolset has been updated to version 9.0.0. Features that are included in this Clang version include the following: the LLVM compiler infrastructure framework, the Clang compiler for the C and C++ languages, the LLDB debugger, and related tools for code analysis.
Rust toolset updated to version 1.39.
This toolset has been updated to version 1.39. This
version of the Rust toolset provides the Rust
programming language compiler
(
rustc
), the
cargo
build tool and dependency manager, as well any required
libraries.
Go toolset updated to 1.13.4.
This toolset, which provides the Go
(
golang
) programming language tools
and libraries, has been updated to version 1.13.4. This
version of the Go toolset also includes the
Delve
debugger for the Go programming
language.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 provides the GCC Toolset 9, which is an Application
Stream that is distributed in the form of a Software
Collection in the
AppStream
repository. The
GCC Toolset is similar to the Oracle Linux Developer Toolset.
The GCC Toolset 9 contains up-to-date versions of the following developer tools:
GCC version 9.2.1
GDB version 8.3
Valgrind version 3.15.0
SystemTap version 4.1
Dyninst version 10.1.0
binutils
version 2.32
elfutils
version 0.176
dwz
version 0.12
make
version 4.2.1
strace
version 5.1
ltrace
version 0.7.91
annobin
version 8.7.9
The GCC Toolset 9 is available as an Application Stream within
the
AppStream
repository, in the form of a
Software Collection.
You can install this toolset as follows:
# dnf install gcc-toolset-9
To run a tool from GCC Toolset 9, use the following command:
$ scl enable gcc-toolset-9 tool
The following command runs a shell session, where tool versions from the GCC Toolset 9 take precedence over system versions of the same tools:
$ scl enable gcc-toolset-9 bash
The following dynamic programming languages, and web and database features and improvements are introduced in this update.
The
maven:3.6
module stream is included in
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2. The Maven software project management and
comprehension tool includes several bug fixes and enhancements
over the
maven:3.5
stream version that was
included in Oracle Linux 8.
In previous releases, if you attempted to install the
mod_wsgi
module by using the
dnf
install mod_wsgi
command, the
python3-mod_wsgi
package was installed. The
introduction of Python 3.8 in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 requires that you to now
specify which version of
mod_wsgi
you want
to install, as Python 3.6 is also supported in this release.
If you do not specify the
mod_wsgi
version,
an error message is displayed.
For example, if you wanted to install the Python 3.6 version
of
mod_wsgi
, enable the
python36
module and then install the
package as follows:
#dnf module enable python36#dnf install python3-mod_wsgi
To install the Python 3.8 version of the package enable the
python38
module and then install the
package as follows:
#dnf module enable python38#dnf install python38-mod_wsgi
The
python3-mod_wsgi
and
python38-mod_wsgi
packages conflict with
each other. This conflict is due to a limitation with the
Apache HTTP Server. As such, only one
mod_wsgi
module can be installed on a
system at any given time.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 includes the
perl-LDAP
and
perl-Convert-ASN1
packages. The
perl-LDAP
package provides an LDAP client for the
Perl language. Note that the
perl-LDAP
package requires the
perl-Convert-ASN1
package. This package encodes and decodes Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1) data structures by using Basic Encoding
Rules (BER) and Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER).
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 includes Python 3.8, which is provided by a new
python38
module. Python 3.8 includes
several enhancements over the previous Python 3.6 version,
including improvements to the developer experience and better
performance. Other notable changes include new Python modules
and language features, improved support for optional static
type hints, and updated versions of some packages, such as
pip
,
requests
, and
Cython
.
Note that Python 3.6 continues to be supported in Oracle Linux 8. You can install Python 3.8 and the packages that are built for it in parallel with Python 3.6, on the same system.
For example, you would install packages from the
python38
module as follows:
#dnf install python38#dnf install python38-Cython
Running the previous command automatically enables the
python38:3.8
module.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 provides the following file systems and storage features, enhancements, and changes:
Btrfs file system removed from RHCK. The Btrfs file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8. As such, you cannot create or mount Btrfs file systems when using this kernel. Also, any Btrfs user-space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Support for the Btrfs file system is enabled in UEK R6. For more information about other enhancements that have been made to Btrfs in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
OCFS2 file system removed from RHCK. The Oracle Cluster File System version 2 (OCFS2) file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8. As such, you cannot create or mount OCFS2 file systems when using this kernel. Also, any OCFS2 user-space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
OCFS2 is fully supported with UEK R6 in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
dm-writecache caching method added for LVM cache volumes.
In this update, Logical Volume Manager (LVM) cache volumes
include the
dm-writecache
caching
method, as well as the existing hot-spot
(
dm-cache
) method.
The
dm-writecache
method caches write
operations
only
. The faster volume,
typically an SSD or a persistent memory (PMEM) disk, stores
the write operations first and then migrates these
operations to the slower disk in the background.
Use the
lvconvert
command with the
--type cache
or
--type
writecache
option to configure a caching method.
See Section 4.7.4, “Limitations of the LVM dm-writecache caching method” for further information about the limitations of this feature.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 introduces the following infrastructure services features, enhancements, and changes:
Bind updated to version 9.11.13.
In this update, the
bind
packages have
been updated to version 9.11.13. This version of Bind
includes several improvements over the previous version,
including new features and commands, as well as
improvements to existing commands and functionality.
Tuned updated to version 2.13.
The
tuned
packages are updated to
version 2.13 in this update. This version of Tuned
provides several bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous version.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 introduces the following features, enhancements, and changes:
eBPF for Traffic Control kernel subsystem supported. In this update, the Traffic Control ( tc ) kernel subsystem and the tc tool is capable of attaching to extended Berkeley Packet Filtering (eBPF) programs as packet classifiers and actions for both the ingress and egress queueing disciplines. Note that eBPF for tc was previously available as a technology preview only.
firewalld updated to version 0.8.
The
firewalld
packages are updated to
version 0.8 in this update. This version of
firewalld
provides several performance
improvements, including all bug fixes since version 0.7.0.
Other notable changes include the following:
firewalld
now uses the
libnftables
JSON interface, which is
part of the
nftables
subsystem.
Service definitions include a new helper element, which replaces module.
Custom helpers can now use standard helper modules.
firewalld service can use connection tracking helpers for services that
are running on a non-standard port.
The
firewalld
service's user-defined
helpers can now use standard kernel helper modules. This
improvement provides the capability for creating
firewalld
rules that use connection
tracking helpers for services that are running on a
non-standard port.
User-space applications can retrieve the netns ID selected by the kernel.
In this update, capability has been added for user-space
applications to request that the kernel select a new
netns
ID and then assign it to a
network name space. This improvement provides user-space
applications with a more reliable option for identifying
the
netlink
ID selected by the kernel.
You can now specify the
NLM_F_ECHO
option when sending an
RTM_NETNSIDnetlink
message to the
kernel. The kernel then returns a
netlink
message, which includes the
netns
ID, which is set to the value
that is selected by the kernel
whois package added.
The
whois
package is included in
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2. The
whois
package provides
capability for retrieving information about a specific
domain name or IP address.
The podman , buildah , and skopeo container tools that were introduced in the Oracle Linux 8 release are supported on both UEK R6 and RHCK in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2. These tools are compatible with the Open Container Initiative (OCI) and can be used to manage the same Linux containers that are produced and managed by Docker and other compatible container engines. Because these tools are light-weight and primarily focused on a subset of features, you can run them minus the overhead of working with a daemon process. For more details about these tools, see Oracle ® Linux 8: Release Notes for Oracle Linux 8 .
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 introduces the following security features, enhancements, and changes:
Audit updated to version 3.0-0.14.
The
audit
packages have been updated to
version 3.0-0.14. This version of Audit provides many bug
fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
Audit includes several improvements from kernel v5.5-rc1. The version of Audit that is provided in this update includes several enhancements, bug fixes, and cleanups related to the Audit subsystem, many of which were introduced between versions 4.18 and 5.5-rc1 of Audit.
lvmdbusd service confined by SELinux.
In this update, the
lvmdbusd
executable
file has the
lvm_exec_t
context
defined. This change means the
lvmdbusd
daemon can now be used correctly with SELinux in enforcing
mode. Previously, the
lvmdbusd
daemon
could not transition to the
lvm_t
context, irrespective of whether the SELinux policy for
lvm_t
was defined. The result was that
the
lvmdbusd
daemon was executed in the
unconfined_service_t
domain, with
SELinux labeling
lvmdbusd
as
unconfined.
openssl-pkcs11 updated to version 0.4.10.
The
openssl-pkcs11
package has been
updated to version 0.4.10. This version of the package
includes several bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous version. Note that the
openssl-pkcs11
package provides access
to PKCS #11 modules through the engine interface.
oscap-podman tool added. The openscap packages have been updated to include the new oscap-podman tool for security and compliance scanning of containers. The oscap-podman tool provides similar functionality to the oscap-docker tool that is used for scanning containers and container images in Oracle Linux 7.
rsyslog updated to version 8.1911.0.
The
rsyslog
packages have been updated
to version 8.1911.0, which provides numerous bug fixes and
enhancements over the previous version.
SCAP Security Guide includes ACSC Essential Eight and DISA STIG for
Oracle Linux 8 support.
The
scap-security-guide
packages in
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 provides the following new profiles:
Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Essential Eight compliance profile aligned to the security baseline defined by ACSC
"[DRAFT] DISA STIG for Oracle Linux 8 compliance profile aligned to the STIG security controls published by DISA.
This improvement enables you to install a system that conforms to one of these security baselines.
Also, you can now use the OpenSCAP suite to check security compliance and remediation by using this specification, which provides minimum security controls, as defined by corresponding baseline.
SELinux setools-gui and setools-console-analyses packages included.
The
setools-gui
package, which was
included in Oracle Linux 7, is re-introduced in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2. You can
use the tool to inspect relations and data flows,
particularly in multi-level systems with highly
specialized SELinux policies. You can also use the
apol
graphical tool that is available
with the
setools-gui
package to inspect
and analyze various aspects of an SELinux policy. In
addition, you can use the tools that are included with the
setools-console-analyses
package to
analyze domain transitions and SELinux policy information
flows.
SELinux improved to enable confined users to manage user session services. Confined users can now manage user sessions. In previous releases, confined users could not manage user session services, which meant they could not execute the systemctl --user or busctl --user commands or work in the web console.
semanage export able to display customizations related to permissive
domains.
The
semanage
command, which is part of
the
policycoreutils
package for
SELinux, has been improved. You can now use the command to
display customizations for permissive domains. You can now
also use the
semanage export
command to
transfer permissive local modifications between systems.
semanage includes capability for listing and modifying SCTP and DCCP ports. Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 includes SCTP and DCCP protocol support for the semanage port command. This enhancement enables you to check whether two systems can communicate by using SCTP. In addition, the ability to fully enable SCTP features to successfully deploy SCTP-based applications is also provided. In previous releases, you could only list and modify TCP and UDP ports by using the semanage port command.
Sudo updated to version 1.8.29-3.
The
sudo
packages have been updated to
version 1.8.29-3. This version of Sudo includes several
major changes, bug fixes, and improvements over the
previous version.
Udica capable of adding new allow rules generated from SELinux denials
to existing container policy.
The
udica
command has been improved.
Now, if a container that is running under a policy
generated by the
udica
command triggers
an SELinux denial, the command is able to update the
policy. You can use the new
-a
or
--append-rules
option to append rules
from an AVC file.
In this update, the
User-Agent
header string
that is normally part of HTTP requests that are made by DNF has
been extended to include information that is read from the
/etc/os-release
file. See the
dnf.conf(5)
manual page for more specific
details.
The following virtualization features, enhancements, and changes are introduced in this update:
virt-install returns more helpful message when creating VM from an
install tree.
The
virt-install
command has been
improved to include a workaround for an issue that caused
booting to fail on Oracle Linux 7 and earlier Oracle Linux 8 releases if the
--location
option was also specified.
The command now returns a more helpful message that
include instructions on how to work around the problem
should such a failure occur.
EDK2 updated to version stable201908.
The
EDK2
package has been updated to
version
stable201908
. This version of
EDK2 includes several improvements, including support for
OpenSSL-1.1.1
. Another notable change
in this version of EDK2 is that the
EDK2
package license has changed from
BSD and OpenSSL and MIT
to
BSD-2-Clause-Patent and OpenSSL and
MIT
.
Nested virtualization capability added for KVM. This release provides support for nested virtualization on kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs) that are running on an Intel 64 host. This enhancement enables an Oracle Linux 7 or Oracle Linux 8 VM that is running on an Oracle Linux 8 physical host to perform as a hypervisor, as well as host its own VMs.
On AMD64 systems, nested KVM virtualization continues to be a Technology Preview feature.
virt-manager application deprecated. The Virtual Machine Manager application ( virt-manager ) is deprecated in this release. Oracle recommends that you use the Cockpit web console to manage virtualization. Note that some features in Oracle Linux 8 might still only be accessible by using either virt-manager or the command line.
VM snapshots deprecated. The current mechanism for creating VM snapshots is deprecated and not working reliably in this release. It is therefore recommended that you do not use snapshots in Oracle Linux 8.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 introduces the following features, improvements, and changes for the Cockpit web console:
Web console login changes.
Starting with this update, you are now automatically
logged out of your current web console session after 15
minutes of inactivity. To modify this setting, adjust the
timeout in minutes by editing the
/etc/cockpit/cockpit.conf
file. Another
change in this update includes optional capability for
showing the content of banner files on the web console's
login screen, which is similar to SSH behavior. You must
configure this functionality in the
/etc/cockpit/cockpit.conf
file to use
it.
Option for logging into the web console with a TLS client certificate added. You can now configure the web console to log in with a TLS client certificate that is provided by a browser or a device, such as smart card or a YubiKey.
Storage page updates. Creating a new file system in the web console now always required a specified mount point. This page also no longer offers the "Default" choice when mounting a file system.
The web console now hides the distinction between the
/etc/fstab
and the
/proc/mounts
run-time state
configuration. Any changes that you make in the web console
apply to both the configuration and the run-time state. In
the event that the configuration and the run-time state
differ from each other, the web console issues a warning to
enable you to more easily synchronize these configurations.
Virtual Machines page updates.
Several storage improvements have been made to the Virtual
Machines page, including the following: storage volume
creation works for all
libvirt-supported
types and you can now
create storage pools on a LVM or iSCSI device. Also, the
Virtual Machines page includes capability for creating and
removing virtual network interfaces.
Web console redesigned to use the PatternFly 4 UI design system. The PatternFly 4 design is implemented in this update. This design provides improved accessibility and also more closely matches the OpenShift 4 design. Another important feature improvement is a redesigned Overview page that is easier to understand. The following additional improvements have been made: health information is more prominent, resource graphs have been moved to a separate page, and the hardware information page is much easier to locate. The new design also provides a new Search field in the Navigation menu to enable users to more easily locate specific pages by using keywords.
Oracle Linux maintains user-space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system. Existing applications in userspace continue to run unmodified on the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) release and no recertifications are needed for RHEL certified applications.
To minimize impact on interoperability during releases, the Oracle Linux team works closely with third-party vendors regarding hardware and software that have dependencies on kernel modules. The kernel ABI for UEK R6 will remain unchanged in all subsequent updates to the initial release. UEK R6 contains changes to the kernel ABI, relative to UEK R5, that require recompilation of third-party kernel modules on the system. Before installing UEK R6, verify its support status with your application vendor.
Table of Contents
This chapter describes known issues in the Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 release on the x86_64 platform, unless otherwise noted. For issues that apply specifically the Arm (aarch64) platform, see Section 6.5, “Known Issues (aarch64)” .
The following are known installation and upgrade issues for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
Currently, no supported method is available for an in-place upgrade from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8.
If an alternate language is selected during an interactive installation by using the text-based installer, you cannot progress through all of the steps in the installation wizard. The installation is blocked with [!] bullets for Software Selection and Installation Destination , irrespective of what is selected for these two options.
Note that this issue does not occur when performing an installation by using the default language selection of English or if you are using the graphical installer.
(Bug ID 30535416)
If the installer is booted with the
inst.repo
option set, changing the
installation source to use a CD or DVD device within the
installer results in an error that prevents you from
continuing the installation, unless you set the source back to
the original source that was set at boot.
If you set the
inst.repo
option to point to
a hard disk and then attempt to change the installation source
inside the installer, the installer displays an error; but,
you can still proceed with the installation.
To avoid these issues, do not set the
inst.repo
option at boot if you do not
intend to use the installation source that is provided. Or,
use the
inst.repo
source that is defined at
boot without attempting to change installation source inside
the installer.
(Bug ID 30316179)
Attempting to register with ULN in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 by running the
rhnreg_ks
command may fail if the
python3-rhn-virtualization-hosts
package is
installed on the system. This issue has been observed when the
libvirtd
service is not running.
To work around this issue, ensure that the
libvirtd
packages are installed on your
system and that the service is enabled and running prior to
registering with ULN by using the
rhnreg_ks
command.
(Bug ID 30366521)
Installing the
virt-p2v-maker
package from the
AppStream repository fails.
(Bug ID 31278302)
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 8 Update 1 to Oracle Linux 8 Update 2, a dependency issue is
encountered if the
beignet
package is
installed, as this package requires an earlier version of the
clang-libs
package.
Currently, a newer version of the
beignet
package is not available in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
To work around the issue, remove the
beignet
package from the Oracle Linux 8 Update 1 system to
be installed prior to upgrading to Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
(Bug ID 31213935)
On new installations of Oracle Linux 8, the ULN registration wizard that presents the option to register with ULN and use Oracle Ksplice is not displayed on first boot. This behavior differs from previous Oracle Linux releases, where you were presented with these options on the first boot after completing the installation.
As an alternative option, you can register with ULN after the installation completes. For instructions, visit https://linux.oracle.com/ .
(Bug ID 29933974)
During an Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 installation, the following message can be
observed in the
/var/log/messages:systemd

(Bug ID 29500599)
To successfully install Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 on an Oracle VM VirtualBox
guest, where the graphical installer is used and the default
install of the
Server with GUI
environment
is set, requires that the Oracle VM VirtualBox guest use the
VMSVGA graphics controller and that it is configured with at
least 64MB of memory.
Failure to set the graphics controller correctly can result in an installation where the graphical display is unable to start correctly.
The VMSVGA graphics controller is the default controller when you create a new guest by using Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0, or later, for Linux guest operating systems. This issue is more likely to appear if you attempt to install over an existing guest that was created on an earlier Oracle VM VirtualBox release. Oracle recommends that you only attempt to install Oracle Linux 8 on a newly created virtual machine (VM) in Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0, or later.
(Bug ID 30004543)
After installing Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 on a KVM guest by using iPXE and
iSCSI boot, the SCSI Qualified Name (IQN) in the
/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
file is not
correct.
Note that this incorrect configuration could impact
kdump
functionality.
The workaround for this issue is to manually modify the
/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
file with
the correct IQN after the installation completes.
(Bug ID 29536715)
The
glusterfs-*.i686
packages are not included in either the
Oracle Linux 8 Update 1 or Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 release. However, if you installed the
glusterfs-*.i686
and
glusterfs-*.x86_64
packages on
the system to be upgraded in an earlier release, running the
yum update
glusterfs*
command fails to upgrade the packages to Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
The workaround for this issue is to first remove the
glusterfs-*.i686
packages from the system to
be upgraded, and then run the
yum update
glusterfs*
command.
(Bug ID 30279840)
The Services page for the Cockpit web console has been updated to enable you to search services by name, description, and state. This new functionality works as expected for filtering services by Name and Description; however, if you attempt to filter services by State, an error indicating there are no matching results is produced.
(Bug ID 30286168)
The Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 installer does not recognize some Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controllers that are found on older Oracle Sun server models. If you attempt to install Oracle Linux 8 on these server models, the installer does not recognize the local disk and the installation fails. Some examples of these older server models include, but are not limited to, the following: Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M2 Server, Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M3 Server, Oracle Sun OVCA X3-2 Server, and the Oracle Sun X4-2 Server.
The following SAS controllers are removed from the

Currently, there is no tool for mirroring ULN channels from ULN to a local yum server that is hosted on Oracle Linux 8 Update 2. However, you can still perform ULN mirroring on Oracle Linux 7, as well as mirror any Oracle Linux 8 Update 1 ULN channels onto a yum server that is hosted on Oracle Linux 7.
If you use the Ksplice offline client, where a ULN mirror is required to service Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 hosts, Oracle recommends that you host the ULN mirror on an Oracle Linux 7 host. For instructions, see Creating and Using a Local ULN Mirror in the Oracle ® Linux: Unbreakable Linux Network User's Guide for Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle Linux 7 . After configuring the system as a yum server, you can subscribe it to any Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 ULN channels that you wish to mirror.
For more information about the Ksplice offline client, see the Oracle ® Linux: Ksplice User's Guide .
(Bug ID 30005125)
The following are known file systems issues in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
The Btrfs and OCFS2 file systems are removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8, which means you cannot create or mount these file systems when using this kernel. Also, any Btrfs and OCFS2 user-space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Note that support for the Btrfs and OCFS2 file systems is enabled in UEK R6. For more information about enhancements that have been made to Btrfs and OCFS2 in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
If a system that is using the
ext4
file
system is repeatedly or frequently shut down, the file system
might become corrupted. Note that this issue is considered to
be a corner-case issue, due to the difficulty that is required
to replicate it. The issue exists in the upstream code and
proposed patches are currently under review.
(Bug ID 27547113)
The following are known kernel issues in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
The following errors might be displayed repeatedly when KVM guests are booting on AMD 64-bit systems:
[ 12.474069] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err 0) [ 12.474083] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err 0) [ 12.852250] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err 0) [ 12.852297] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err 0) . . .
These errors occur because the module code for the kernel
erroneously returns
-EEXIST
for modules
that failed to load and are in the process of being removed
from the module list. The
amd64_edac_mod
module will not be loaded in a VM. These errors can be
ignored, as they do not impact functionality in any way.
This issue occurs on Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 systems that are running RHCK only and is not encountered on systems that are running UEK R6.
(Bug ID 29853602)
A bug in the Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 code causes Retropline support to not be
displayed in the output of the
modinfo
command, even though the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE
flag is set to
Y
, for example:
# modinfo -F retpoline
/usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64/kernel/sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-us122l.ko.xz
#
The
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=Y
flag is still
required to add and display Retpoline support. If the
parameter is enabled, the kernel builds with a
retpoline-capable compiler.
(Bug ID 29894295)
An issue in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 causes Kdump to run out of memory if you
attempt to mount
/sysroot
on a Fibre
Channel (FC) disk that uses LVM. This issue is due to a lack
of memory when the
crashkernel
loads.
To resolve the issue, you can do one of the following:
Override the
crashkernel=auto
boot
option so that more memory is reserved for Kdump. For
example, set the kernel boot parameter to
crashkernel=512M
.
Set the Kdump destination to a network location (NFS or SSH).
(Bug ID 29840266)
The new LVM
dm-writecache
caching method
has certain limitations that do not exist with the
dm-cache
method, including the following:
Cannot attach or detach
dm-writecache
when a logical volume is active.
Cannot take a snapshot of a logical volume when the
logical volume is using
dm-writecache
.
Must use a
dm-writecache
block size
that matches the existing file system block size when
attaching
dm-writecache
to an inactive
logical volume.
Cannot resize a logical volume when
dm-writecache
is attached to the
volume.
Cannot use
pvmove
commands on devices
that are used with
dm-writecache
.
Cannot use logical volumes with
dm-writecache
when using thin pools or
the virtual data optimizer (VDO).
For more information about the
dm-writecache
caching method, see the the
Section 3.6, “File Systems and Storage”
features section of
these release notes. See also the
lvmcache(7)
manual page.
The following are networking issues in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
When running the
tracepath6
command in
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2, the command fails to correctly parse the destination
IPv6 address. As a result, the tool traces a route to the
wrong host.
The workaround for this issue is to use another tool with
similar capability to
tracepath6
.
(Bug ID 29540588)
The
ip_tables
module fails to insert with
an 'Operation not permitted' error. This issue, which is
currently under investigation, can occur if SELinux is in
enforcing mode.
A workaround for this issue is to set SELinux to permissive
mode, which you can do temporarily by running the
setenforce 0
command. Or, you can set
SELinux to permissive mode permanently by editing the
/etc/selinux/config
file and then rebooting
the system.
(Bug ID 29517166)
If you run the nohup command as shown in the following example on an Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 system, and then attempt to remotely connect to that system by using the ssh command, the ssh command hangs:
# /usr/bin/nohup ./myscript > nohup.out &
The workaround for this issue is to modify the nohup command as follows:
# /usr/bin/nohup ./myscript > nohup.out 2>&1 &
(Bug ID 30287091)
Restarting the firewalld service leads to an SSH connection timeout on the terminal from which the service was started. Note that other SSH terminals remain connected.
(Bug ID 29478124)
An error indicating that the mcelog service does not support the processor can appear in the system log on systems with AMD processors, such as some Oracle Server hardware. The message might be displayed as follows:
mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor. Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.
The
mcelog
daemon is a service that is used
on x86_64 platforms to log and handle hardware error messaging,
but it is not required on AMD systems where the
edac_mce_amd
kernel module handles machine
exception logging. The error should be downgraded to a warning.
(Bug ID 29501190)
The following are known issues for the Podman container management tool in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
If you run the podman attach --latest command and no containers exist in your environment, a runtime error similar to the following occurs:
# podman attach --latest
panic: runtime error: index out of range
...
Note that this error no longer occurs as soon as there are containers in the environment. Running the command when there are no containers is meaningless.
(Bug ID 29882537)
The default key sequence that you use to detach a container
(
CTRL+P
,
CTRL+Q
)
requires a console that can handle detachment
(
pseudo-tty
), as well as an input channel
for passing control signals (
stdin
).
Otherwise, you cannot create a container, attach it with the
podman attach -l
command, and then quit or
detach the container by using the default key sequence, as
documented in the
podman-attach(1)
manual
page.
To ensure that you can use the default
CTRL+P
,
CTRL+Q
key
sequence to detach a container, use either of the following
methods to create a container:
Create a container in the background:
# podman run --rm -t -d container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux:7 top -b
You can then use the
podman attach -l
command to attach the container and the
CTRL+P
,
CTRL+Q
key
sequence to detach the container.
Create a container interactively:
# podman run --rm -t -i container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux:7 top -b
The interactive method creates the container and
automatically attaches it. You can then use the
CTRL+P
,
CTRL+Q
key
sequence to detach the container.
For more information, see the
podman(1)
and
podman-attach(1)
manual pages.
(Bug ID 29882852)
If you attempt to pull an image by running the
podman
pull
image-name
command,
but you do not specify the correct or full name of the image,
an authentication error occurs.
For example, the following error is displayed because
oracle:latest
was specified as the name of
the image instead of
oraclelinux:latest
,
which is the correct name for the image:
$ podman pull oracle:latest
Trying to pull registry.redhat.io/oracle:latest...Failed

To prevent this error from occurring, always specify the correct image name with the podman pull command.
(Bug ID 29894231)
Attempts to search for an image in the Oracle Container Registry by using the podman search command fail with the following authorization error, even if you are logged into the registry:
# podman search oraclelinux
ERRO[0001] error getting search results from v2 endpoint
"container-registry.oracle.com", status code 401 (Unauthorized)
...
This issue is related to how Oracle Container Registry handles token requests for access to the "/v2/_catalog". The podman search command only requests a token for ping-level access and not for catalog access.
Currently, there is no workaround for this issue.
(Bug ID 29942671)

You can download a full Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 installation media image from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at https://edelivery.oracle.com/ . Note that a smaller boot ISO is also available to perform a network-based installation.
For convenience, the three most recent Oracle Linux installation media images, for each release, are also available from the Oracle Linux yum server at https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-isos.html .
You can also install a full Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 media image for the x86_64 platform on a compute instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. To access the image, you must first obtain an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account. For more information, visit https://www.oracle.com/index.html .
The latest Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 packages are also available on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server.
To obtain the latest packages from ULN and install additional software for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2, subscribe to the different channels on ULN by logging in to https://linux.oracle.com and then select the View Channels option.
To install additional software for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 from the Oracle Linux yum server, enable the required repositories within your yum configuration. To view the Oracle Linux yum repositories that are available for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2, visit https://yum.oracle.com/ .
The Oracle Linux yum server does not provide equivalent repositories for some of the channels that are available on ULN. These channels provide non-open source packages.
Oracle also makes the Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) release available at https://www.oracle.com/linux/downloads/linux-arm-downloads.html . See Chapter 6, Release-Specific Information for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) for more information.
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 ships with UEK R6 as the default kernel, which is the recommended UEK release to use with Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
Oracle also provides Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) packages for use with UEK R6. The RDMA feature enables direct memory access between two systems that are connected by a network. RDMA facilitates high-throughput and low-latency networking in clusters.
To use RDMA features, you must first install the Oracle-supported RDMA packages. To do so, ensure that your system is subscribed to the appropriate channels on ULN or that you have enabled the appropriate repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server.
If you are subscribed to ULN, enable the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6
,
ol8_x86_64_latest
, and
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6_RDMA
channels. Note that if
your system is newly registered on ULN, it is already subscribed
to the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6
and
ol8_x86_64_latest
channels by default.
However, you must explicitly subscribe to the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6_RDMA
channel prior to
installing RDMA packages.
If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server, enable the
ol8_UEKR6
,
ol8_latest
, and
ol8_UEKR6_RDMA
repositories. Note that if
your system already uses the Oracle Linux yum server, the
ol8_UEKR6
and
ol8_latest
repositories are enabled by default. However, you must
explicitly enable the
ol8_UEKR6_RDMA
repository prior to installing RDMA packages.
For more information about RDMA, including any known issues, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .

The following information pertains to the Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) release.
Some information in this chapter may also apply generally to the x86_64 platform. For general information that may apply to both the x86_64 and Arm platforms, as well as information that is specific to the x86_64 platform, refer to the previous chapters of this document.
To determine whether your hardware is supported on the current Oracle Linux 8 release, check the Hardware Certification List at https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications . Note that hardware is listed as it becomes available and is validated.
The Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) release ships with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6), which is the default kernel for this release. Note that the UEK R6 kernel is the only kernel that is supported for the aarch64 platform.
The UEK R6 kernel version that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) is
kernel-uek-5.4.17-2011.1.2.el8uek
.
The Oracle Linux release is tested as a bundle, as shipped on the installation media image. When installed from the installation media image, the minimum kernel version supported is the one included in the image. Downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless recommended by Oracle Support.
The kernel source code for the shipped kernel is available after the initial release through a public git source code repository at https://github.com/oracle/linux-uek .
The following new features are specific to the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform. See Chapter 3, New Features and Changes for all of the new features in Oracle Linux 8 Update 2, most of which are also supported on the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) architecture.
In this update, the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) remote console is available as a Technology Preview only on the 64-bit Arm platform. The remaining components of the graphics stack are unverified on this platform.
The following are known issues for the Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) release. See Chapter 4, Known Issues for information about known issues on the x86_64 platform, some of which might also apply to the Arm platform, as noted.
For more information about additional issues that may exist for UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
For both GUI-based and text-based installations of Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 on the Arm platform, the following error is produced at the start of the installation:
** (anaconda:2843): CRITICAL **: 09:49:18.542: The function 'bd_btrfs_list_subvolumes' called, but not implemented!
This error prevents you from proceeding with the installation.
To work around this issue, before the installation, remove (format) all of the Btrfs partitions from all of the disks on the host that you are planning to install Oracle Linux 8 Update 2.
Note that this issue does not occur on the x86_64 platform.
(Bug ID 31160993)
An attempt to subsequently register a cache set after removing it fails with the following error:
echo "CACHE_DEV" > /sys/fs/bcache/register echo: write error: Invalid argument In dmesg we can see following error message: bcache: register_bcache() error /dev/CACHE_DEV: Not a bcache superblock
This issue is related to 64KB page size
(
CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y
), which
bcache
currently does not support.
Because the superblock for the cache device becomes corrupted during this process, it is not possible to re-register the device.
The workaround for this issue is to reinstall the
bcache-tools
package and then create a new
bcache
configuration.
An alternative workaround is to avoid using a bcache configuration on Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64).
Note that this issue does not occur on the x86_64 platform.
(Bug ID 30210051)
System hangs might occur during a crash kernel boot on ThunderX2 and X-Gene 3 platforms that are running Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64). This issue has been observed at different stages of the boot process. Consequently, Kdump might not work as expected on this hardware.
(Bug IDs 30339519, 30339571)
The following installation and availability information applies to installing Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 on the 64-bit Arm platform. For general installation and availability information, as well as information that applies specifically to the x86_64 platform, see Chapter 5, Installation and Availability .
Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 is made available as an ISO image
(
OracleLinux-R8-U2-Server-aarch64-dvd.iso
),
which can be used for a standard installation on generic 64-bit
Armv8 hardware. This ISO has been tested on Arm hardware and is
engineered for use with Ampere
™
eMAG
™-based EVK platform and the Cavium
ThunderX2® processor. For the latest hardware that is
validated for Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64), refer to the Hardware Certification List
at
https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications
.

The ISO image can be loaded from local media, such as DVD-ROM or
USB flash drive; or, you can perform a network-based kickstart
installation by using PXE. If you perform a network-based
installation and you want to access the graphical interface for
the installer, you must change the kernel boot parameters to
enable VNC. For example, to enable VNC, set the
inst.vnc
boot option, and then set the
network address to
ip=eth0:dhcp
at boot.
The Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) ISO image is also available from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at https://edelivery.oracle.com/ .
The latest Oracle Linux 8 Update 2 (aarch64) packages are available from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server. To explore the channels that are available on ULN, log into https://linux.oracle.com/ and view the Channels option. You can obtain the latest Oracle Linux 8 (aarch64) packages from the Oracle Linux yum server at https://yum.oracle.com/ .
The Oracle Linux yum server does not provide equivalent repositories for some of the channels that are available on ULN. These channels provide non-open source packages.
The default boot kernel for fresh installations of Oracle Linux 8 (aarch64) is Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6). Note that UEK R6 is the only supported kernel for the aarch64 platform in this release.
