Hello all, It looks like OrangeFS 2.8.7 was just released on orangefs.org! The changelog and source were posted within the last few days. I might be late to the party but thought I should let the community know. Anyhow, cheers!
--Scott ----------------------- OrangeFS Release ChangeLog ----------------------- orangefs-2.8.7 (Subversion Tag v2.8.7) Revs 9399 thru 9763 * WARNINGS: * - The pvfs kernel module is NOT compatible with linux kernel versions * 3.4 and higher. Work is currently underway. * - A known linux kernel bug causing kernel panics when a PVFS * filesystem is unmounted was found in RHEL releases 2.6.18-308.1.1 thru * 2.6.18-308.20.1. The OrangeFS team recommends using 2.6.18-308 (RHEL 5.8) or * 2.6.32-71 (RHEL 6.0) and up. This kernel bug affects other * filesystems as well. * Corrected issues with the readdirplus operations effecting the dokan interface for Windows. * Corrected memory overwrite that resulted from using both readdir and readdirplus members of a union whenever the readdir state machine was called from the readdirplus state machine. * Starting in linux kernels 3.4, d_make_root is used instead of d_alloc_root. Configure changes were added to account for this change in the kernel module. * Fixed a bug in pvfs_readdir associated with the usrint library. * Modified kernel module to accommodate the RCU walk initiated by the kernel in pvfs2_d_validate. This fixes a deadlock occurring in kernel versions 2.6.38 and later. * Fixed bug in usrint library where a dir is opened and the fd is passed to fchdir but the path is missing. * Added support for fts interface in usrint library. * Fixed errors with invalid objects in the kernel module. * Performance improvements for Windows Client. * Defects corrected for ucache system. * Changes to Makefile: * - Using glibtool instead of glib on MAC-Darwin OS when making libpvfs2.a * - Ensure that sbin dir is creatd before moving ucache system into it. * - Added lib/libpvfs2.so as a dependency when making libofs.so to allow * make with the -j option to operate correctly. * - Renamed liborange to liborangefs. * New Feature: added human readable times to pvfs2-db-display. * New Feature: when setting the mode (admin or normal) of a filesystem using pvfs2-set-mode, you can now do so for individual servers. Prior to this change, the mode was set for all the servers within a particular filesystem.
