Gluster users - Dec 2017 - Announcing Glusterfs release 3.12.4 (Long Term Maintenance)

The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of Gluster 
3.12.4 (packages available at [1,2,3]).

Release notes for the release can be found at [4].

We still carry following major issue that is reported in the 
release-notes as follows,

1.) - Expanding a gluster volume that is sharded may cause file corruption

 ??? Sharded volumes are typically used for VM images, if such volumes 
are expanded or possibly contracted (i.e add/remove bricks and 
rebalance) there are reports of VM images getting corrupted.

 ??? The last known cause for corruption (Bug #1465123) has a fix with 
this release. As further testing is still in progress, the issue is 
retained as a major issue.

 ??? Status of this bug can be tracked here, #1465123

Thanks,
Gluster community

Hey Niels,

Installed 3.12.4 from centos-gluster312-test on my dev ovirt hyper converged
cluster. Everything looks good and is working as expected for storage,
migration, & healing. Need any specifics?

Thanks Darrell!
Sorry for the delay, I have been on holidays and returned yesterday. The
packages have now been marked for release and will hopefully land on the
CentOS mirrors later today.
