Another stable release, GlusterFS 3.5.5 is ready

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).
