Gluster users - Jul 2015 - Another stable release, GlusterFS 3.5.5 is ready

The noted, with added clickable links can be found on the Gluster Planet
when it gets synced, before then you can find it on my blog:

A 3.5.6 release is planned to follow soon. If you are running a 3.5.x
version and have a need for a fix to be included, let me know and I'll
see what we can do.

Thanks,

Packages for Fedora 21 are available in updates-testing, RPMs and .debs
can be found on the main Gluster download site.

This is a bugfix release. The Release Notes for 3.5.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.2,
3.5.3 and 3.5.4 contain a listing of all the new features that were
added and bugs fixed in the GlusterFS 3.5 stable release.

Bugs Fixed:

* 1166862: rmtab file is a bottleneck when lot of clients are accessing a volume
through NFS
* 1217432: DHT:Quota:- brick process crashed after deleting .glusterfs from
backend
* 1217433: glusterfsd crashed after directory was removed from the mount point,
while self-heal and rebalance were running on the volume
* 1231641: cli crashes when listing quota limits with xml output

Known Issues:

* The following configuration changes are necessary for 'qemu' and
  'samba vfs plugin' integration with libgfapi to work seamlessly:

    1. gluster volume set <volname> server.allow-insecure on
    2. restarting the volume is necessary

        gluster volume stop <volname>
        gluster volume start <volname>

    3. Edit /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol to contain this line:

        option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on

    4. restarting glusterd is necessary

        service glusterd restart

  More details are also documented in the Gluster Wiki on the Libgfapi
  with qemu libvirt page.

* For Block Device translator based volumes open-behind translator at
  the client side needs to be disabled.

    gluster volume set <volname> performance.open-behind disabled

* libgfapi clients calling glfs_fini before a successful glfs_init will
  cause the client to hang as reported here. The workaround is NOT to
  call glfs_fini for error cases encountered before a successful
  glfs_init. This is being tracked in Bug 1134050 for glusterfs-3.5 and
  Bug 1093594 for mainline.

* If the /var/run/gluster directory does not exist enabling quota will
  likely fail (Bug 1117888).

We would really love to see the fix for #1134050 ("Glfs_fini() not
freeing the resources") to be back-ported to 3.5.X.
