Ah, not only the kernel requires a reboot: a glibc update does, to. Or a systemd update (PID 1)
No. Running processes use the old glibc, but that usually does not matter. If it does (means: if there was a really critical remote exploit in glibc), I'd reboot anyway. But when have you last seen such a bug? I'm updating my factory machine all the time, whenever new packages are available. But I reboot only when there is a significantly newer kernel version or a particular kernel fix I'd like to have. -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
