Hi Alfredo,

As far as I can tell that is the case. I actually removed all pf_ring and 
n2disk components before I updated them and reinstalled the RPMs from scratch 
(with no errors reported).


lsmod output:

Subject: Re: [Ntop-misc] n2disk dumping with RHEL6 Kernel 
2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64

Hi Derek
could you double check that all the .ko modules (drivers and pf_ring kernel 
module) have been reinstalled by DKMS and reloaded?
Alternatively, any chance to get ssh access to the machine?

Alfredo

Hello,

Today we upgraded our RHEL6 n2disk box to kernel 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64 
(addresses the dirty cow vulnerability). After the upgrade n2disk is dumping. I 
went ahead and upgraded n2disk (2.6.161102) and pfring (6.4.1-960) to their 
latest available stable versions and ran into the same issue. zcount is able to 
open the zc interface properly. n2disk startup looks like:

Any ideas?
