Gluster users - Jul 2008 - GlusterFS 1.3.10 Release Announcement

GlusterFS 1.3.10 Release:
This is a minor release with some important bug fixes. If you are
using "unify", you *must* upgrade your setup. No changes are required
in the volume specification file or your existing storage setup.

Changelog Summary:
* "Bug in Unify rename operation resulting in duplicate files" is
fixed.

* "AFR causing a hang during server failure" is fixed.

* Exporting both TCP/IP and IB-VERBS transport simultaneously works
   now.

* Directory operations are little faster, because "opendir" looks up
   only on the name space cache.

Gluster Core Team

Just noticed this in the 1.3.10 release announcement. I've been running
patched versions of 1.3.9 for a while now to fix various problems I've come
across and one issue that's cropped up since then has been a phenomenon of
"invisible files" when using the unify translater.

I just rolled back to 1.3.9 and suddenly all my files are showing up - I'm
pretty sure that the bug that's been introduced must be related to the
changes to opendir somehow preventing self-heal from working properly around
these files.

I have updated the GlusterFS Ubuntu packaging to 1.3.10, and the
latest release is now available for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) from the
Brightbox archive at

http://apt.brightbox.net

If you're not on a Brightbox, you'll need to import our apt repository
key:

wget http://apt.brightbox.net/release.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Packaging code is at http://github.com/NeilW/deb-glusterfs/tree/master
Build PPA is here: http://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ruby-backports/+archive

GlusterFS has been uploaded to the Ubuntu REVU system and a packaging
request opened on launchpad
(https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/246715). If you want
glusterfs in Ubuntu you need to be lobbying the Ubuntu Universe
maintainers to review this package.

Hi Neil,

I cloned your git tree of the glusterfs debian packaging and I am
reviewing it right now (I posted the original Debian ITP).

I don't want to conflict with your Ubuntu related efforts. What's the
best practice for joint Ubuntu/Debian maintainership ?

I would have set the maintainer to the alioth project and included you
in the uploader group. Are there any better setups ?

Greetings,


			Christian
