RHBA-2013:1262 - Red Hat Storage Server 2.1 enhancement and bug fix update

Synopsis

Red Hat Storage Server 2.1 enhancement and bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Red Hat Storage Server 2.1 packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Red Hat Storage is a software only scale-out storage solution that provides flexible and affordable unstructured data storage. Red Hat Storage 2.1 unifies data storage and infrastructure, increases performance, and improves availability and manageability to meet enterprise-level storage challenges.

Users of Red Hat Storage are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Description

This update fixes the following bugs:

Previously, when executing the 'ls -al' command on a volume while data is being PUT using the Swift feature, a temporary directory would be listed for a short duration. The issue is now fixed. (BZ#839322)
Previously, the glusterFS process reported memory allocation failures in dmesg command due to a memory leak. Now, such messages do not appear as the issue is rectified. (BZ#840811)
Previously, a 'Permission Denied' error would occur while executing user files on Red Hat Storage volumes. Now, the access permissions are modified to handle the error. (BZ#843080)
Previously, there was excessive logging of redundant GFID-mismatch messages. Now, the issue is fixed. (BZ#920870)
Previously, in certain I/O patterns, there was a possibility for the read system call of an application to not return from the file system, making it unresponsive. Now,the issue is fixed with this update. (BZ#901649)
Previously, the order of display of the nodes in the output of 'gluster rebalance status' command was not consistent. Now, this output displays the nodes in a consistent manner. (BZ#888390)
Previously, if a machine went down during a transaction, it would result in a stale lock. Now, it is fixed. (BZ#858333)
Previously, the memory used by the Rebalance process was being freed twice when the process was just about to complete, leading to a crash. Now the memory issue is fixed. (BZ#856013)
Previously, using the Red Hat Storage server VM as a template to create VMs in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization setup would result in the failure of the peer probe command. Now a command is available to reset the UUID of the local glusterd, enabling a proper peer probe. (BZ#811493)
Previously, in certain workloads involving setting and getting of extended attributes, the log files would overflow with failure messages. Now, this issue is fixed. (BZ#840812)
Previously, the GlusterFS-native client could not mount a volume to provide 32-bit inodes. Now, a new 32-bit compatibility option for mounting a glusterFS volume, called enable-ino32 is available. (BZ#850352)
Previously, the File Descriptor(FD) resolution in glusterFS server process would not differentiate between the read-only FDs of geo-replication and NFS FDs resulting in an error. The fix now handles the FD resolution appropriately. (BZ#876930)
Previously, if a volume had 'root-squash' option, internal glusterFS processes such as rebalance would fail on the volume. Now, a volume that has root-squashing enabled works fine. (BZ#956770)
Previously, if a back-end storage disk turned unresponsive, it would result in the applications on the client becoming unresponsive. Now, a newly added health checker prevents this issue. (BZ#852578)
Previously, if an extended attribute was not set on the file, the process for the brick would log the missing extended attribute as an error. Now, the issue is fixed. (BZ#918773)
Previously, the IPtable rule was not present on the nodes making the NFS volumes unmountable. The fix opened a range of port numbers 38465-38468 and port 2049 to make the NFS volumes mountable. (BZ#979148)
With this update, the Distributed Hash Table is modified to handle GFID mismatches. (BZ#915992)
Now, as per RFC 1912, domain addresses can start or end with a digit. (BZ#862297)

This update also adds the following enhancements:

A new distributed Geo-replication feature is added that provides high availability and better performance. It also uses the glusterfs journaling feature - changelog, to track the changes, and thus reducing the load on the master. (BZ#850514)
A new 'gluster pool list' command is added for listing all the storage servers in the trusted storage pool. (BZ#870940)
A logging enhancement is made to the management daemon to log the checksum mismatches between peers of a volume. (BZ#919588)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
