Public bug reported: Reading the 1.4.12 release notes at:
http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.12/RELNOTES-1.4.12 that list just one new feature and but on the other hand dozends of bug fixes and considering that Lucid will be LTS it would be IMHO a good thing to have the following stuff fixes that are part of 1.4.12: * Bugfixes: All systems: - Fixes to avoid issues cleaning up deleted hosts in the fileserver (126454) - Fixes to avoid dropping writes due to server idle timeouts. - Don't miss cache chunks of large files while truncating. - Avoid null pointer dereference for unexpected volume names in volume utilities. - Don't mark connections waiting for additional packet window availability idle. - Kerberos 5 utilities (klog.krb5, aklog) enable weak encryption support. - Avoid a double-free of an Rx call structure during a client fetch error. - Avoid losing hosts during address changes. (125215) - Clients shouldn't trust Fetchdata replies for the size of returned data. - fileserver will not hang when attempting to cleanup and dump core. - salvager will not leave core files in random directories. - avoid letting retransmit timer get to 0 seconds. - in event of dbserver contact failure, shut fileserver down cleanly. - handle large partitions during check for needed disk space at client start. - time out Rx connections if network unreachable error received. - avoid dereferencing NULL pointer freeing Rx packets in receive. (125110) - mark stack not executable in LWP. (125491) - return a correct VolumeSync structure from Bulkstat RPCs in fileserver. - client attempts to better free memory at shutdown. - clear rx call queue safely. (125110) - retry VLserver registration on failure in fileserver. - update accessdate for volumes on access in fileserver. - additional safety checks on vlserver operations to avoid database corruption. - make ktc_curpag available on all builds. (125155) [...] Linux: - Handle kernel changes through 2.6.33. - Fix oops in clear_inode due to missed locking. (125589) - Better handle /afs mount failures. - Clean up after failures creating our kernel kmem cache. - Work around memory management issues with some kernels when configuring the buffer cache/bdi (126514) - Rename compile_et to afs_compile_et to avoid RPM conflicts. - Handle whole-file locks properly. (126561) - Deal with kernel autoconf header renaming. - Handle SELinux cache backing file labels better to avoid potential oops. (92944,125544) Anyone aware why we should not try to get a late sync done? (or why it was not done yet ;) Achim ** Affects: openafs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Sync openafs (1.4.12+dfsg-3) from Debian unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
