Discontinued Kernel Components
• NBD - Network Block Device supplanted by iSCSI in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
• HFS - Apple filesystem support discontinued in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
• Tux - Web Server accelerator discontinued in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
• Non-PAE x86 kernel - Previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux contained multiple kernels for
the i686 architecture: a kernel with, and a kernel without PAE. It has been many years since non-
PAE hardware was sold in volume. Hence in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, there will only be a single
kernel, one that includes PAE.
• The Anticipatory I/O scheduler is deprecated and is not present in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. It
is replaced by the CFQ (Completely Fair Queueing) I/O scheduler, which has been the default I/
O scheduler in the Linux kernel since 2006. Customers using the Anticipatory I/O scheduler are
encouraged to test their workload using CFQ and file bugs for any performance issues observed.
While the goal is to make CFQ perform on par with the Anticipatory I/O scheduler in all tested
workloads, Red Hat cannot guarantee that there will be no outliers.
9.5. Library Changes
32-bit libraries are not installed by default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. You can change this
behavior by setting multilib_policy=all in /etc/yum.conf, which will enable multilib policy as
a system-wide policy.
