Environment

Agent 12.1 Sp1 

Cause

This is a behavior change in RHEL  and they have given a kernal parameter to control the behavior similar to previous versions. 

 

Resolution

1. Add the below parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf

fs.protected_regular=0

2. Reload the kernel parameters and the problem should be fixed .

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
