User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
|
||||
|
||||
OpenAFS 1.6.6 (in progress)
|
||||
|
||||
All platforms
|
||||
|
||||
* As of this release, OpenAFS no longer ships uncompressed source tarballs.
|
||||
Tarballs are still shipped with both compression formats, gzip and bzip2.
|
||||
(10131)
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation improvements (10136 10314)
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved diagnostics and error messages (9412 10085 10274)
|
||||
|
||||
* Avoid redefining "assert" in our public header files, which could
|
||||
cause failures when building some applications using them. (10096)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixes for parallel builds (10005 10309 10337)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added a -s switch to afscp (not installed by default) to help simulate
|
||||
a slow client. (9416 9417)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added a -probe switch to vlclient test program (not installed by default)
|
||||
to ping all vlservers in a cell in parallel. (9570)
|
||||
|
||||
All server platforms
|
||||
* The fileserver now ignores any vice partitions with a NeverAttach flag
|
||||
file present in the root directory. (RT #130561) (9470 9471)
|
||||
|
||||
* Enabled server side NAT pings. Since 1.6.0, client side NAT pings were
|
||||
enabled to help keep up mappings for NATed clients. This change aims to
|
||||
further improve on this by sending version packets from the server to its
|
||||
clients as well. This may be backed out if there is no positive feedback
|
||||
during prerelease testing. (9420)
|
||||
|
||||
* Restrict forcing CPS ("Current Protection Subdomain") recalculation in
|
||||
the fileserver to administrators. Also fixed a bug that could cause this
|
||||
operation to be incomplete. (9485 9487)
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow non-DAFS fileservers to attach unusable volumes, restoring pre-1.6
|
||||
behaviour. (RT #131505) (9499)
|
||||
|
||||
* Restored the pre-1.6 behaviour when running vos examine for a volume
|
||||
currently in a transaction, showing the volume as busy again rather than
|
||||
offline. (9685 9915 9916)
|
||||
|
||||
* Reduced the minimum time a bos salvage takes from 5 seconds to 1. (9476)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed buserver to not segfault when started with the -servers option.
|
||||
(RT #131706) (10166)
|
||||
|
||||
* Salvager fixes, addressing a wide variety of possible problems from
|
||||
unnecessary salvaging to aborts (9282 9283 9457 9458 9459 9461 9462 9480
|
||||
9481 10165 10167)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that could cause saved state information to be discarded
|
||||
when restarting a large or busy fileserver, which negatively impacted
|
||||
performance. (9683)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that could have caused undefined behaviour in the vlserver
|
||||
in rare cases when a fileserver registered its addresses in the VLDB.
|
||||
(9429)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the -preserve-vol-stats switch to volserver, allowing it to keep
|
||||
the access statistics across volume restore and reclone operations
|
||||
instead of resetting them. (9477)
|
||||
|
||||
* Inserted an exponential delay between retries when bosserver attempts to
|
||||
restart a server process. (9571 10199)
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved vldb_check (not installed by default) to cope with broken
|
||||
vlentry names and volids, and provide more output to aid debugging.
|
||||
(10268)
|
||||
|
||||
* Releasing a volume after adding a new RO site no longer touches any of
|
||||
the existing RO sites, if the RW data hasn't changed since the last
|
||||
release. (10174)
|
||||
|
||||
* Make the copyDate field for RO clones have the same meaning as for
|
||||
remote RO volumes. Previously, the copyDate field for clones was updated
|
||||
every time we released. (9451)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed potentially undefined behaviour in ptserver when too many pts
|
||||
ids are allocated. (10124)
|
||||
|
||||
Linux servers
|
||||
|
||||
* Start bosserver with -nofork in the systemd unit file, to allow systemd
|
||||
to track its state (10093)
|
||||
|
||||
All client platforms
|
||||
|
||||
* No longer track file locks on read-only volumes. Write locks can't
|
||||
succeed, read locks always will. Avoids log messages about this kind
|
||||
of lock. (8910)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the "fs flushall" subcommand, which makes the client discard all
|
||||
cached data. This was previously available on Windows only. (9065 9388
|
||||
9389 9390)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that could make the client incorrectly believe its cache
|
||||
is up to date. This change could negatively impact AFS <-> DFS
|
||||
translators, should those still be running anywhere. (8898)
|
||||
|
||||
* Several changes to avoid panicing in certain error conditions.
|
||||
(9131 9287 10354 10355 10356 10357) (partially addressing RT #131747)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the -rxmaxfrags switch to afsd, allowing to limit the number
|
||||
of UDP fragments sent or received per RX packet. (9430)
|
||||
|
||||
* Build fixes for aklog on several platforms (RT #131716) (9917 10107 10275)
|
||||
|
||||
* Require that the AFS mountpoint specified in the cacheinfo file is
|
||||
an absolute path. Relative paths result in a client that basically
|
||||
works but is not fully functional. (10253)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that could cause one of the afs threads to enter an infinite
|
||||
loop (10431 .. 10436)
|
||||
|
||||
Linux clients
|
||||
|
||||
* Support Linux kernels up to 3.12 (10241)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that made readv/writev calls in AFS space fail with Linux
|
||||
kernels where generic_file_aio_read exists but those operations have
|
||||
not been switched to using aio_read/aio_write. This was a regression
|
||||
introduced with release 1.6.3 and affected at least RHEL 5.9 kernels.
|
||||
(10248)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a similar bug making core dumps fail in AFS space, affecting
|
||||
a much wider range of kernels including the most recent ones.
|
||||
(RT #131729) (10254)
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhanced the keyring code to make PAGs work correctly on kernels with a
|
||||
distribution specific change to the Linux keyring code. This affected at
|
||||
least SLES 11 SP3 kernels. (10252)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that could make failures during PAG instantiation go
|
||||
unnoticed. (10255)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that made compilation fail for Linux kernels without
|
||||
keyring support. This affected at least the SLE 10 SDK and an
|
||||
OEM version of SLES 11 SP1. (10325)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed build for kernels with user namespace support enabled. Likely
|
||||
to be required for Ubuntu 14.04 and eventually other distributions.
|
||||
(10456 10457 10458)
|
||||
|
||||
* Make tmpfs usable as the cache filesystem again. This had been broken
|
||||
since kernel 3.1 (9950 10193)
|
||||
|
||||
* When starting the client fails, clean up the backing device information
|
||||
created in sysfs, to avoid error messages during a subsequent start
|
||||
and possible system instability later on (10454)
|
||||
|
||||
AIX clients
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug that caused the 1.6 AIX client to never receive any RX
|
||||
packets in the kernel. (RT #131725)
|
||||
|
||||
FUSE client
|
||||
|
||||
* Support Solaris 11 (9454 9455)
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow other users to access filesystems mounted by root. (9452)
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD
|
||||
|
||||
* Build tvolser and dvolser on this platform (10122)
|
||||
* Several fixes to catch up with newer releases (10374 .. 10381)
|
||||
|
||||
NetBSD
|
||||
|
||||
* Build tsalvaged, tvolser and dvolser on this platform (10121)
|
||||
* Fixed build on NetBSD 5 and newer. (10138)
