RHBA-2013:1092 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated GlusterFS native client packages which fix bugs and contain multiple
enhancements now available for Red Hat Storage 2.0.

Description

Red Hat Storage is a software only, scale-out storage solution that provides
flexible and agile unstructured data storage for the enterprise.

• Changelogs in synchronous replication could become incorrect following an

ungraceful shutdown of XFS. This could result in files not being self-healed or
let unreliable self-heal happen which can lead to potential data corruption. The
process of updating changelogs has been made resilient to avoid this
inconsistency. (BZ#985738)

• In quick-read translator, the UID/GID of a user was not copied correctly to

the file system operations made to the server, thus enabling root-squash on
those operations. Non-root users who did not fall under root-squash were also
treated as nobody:nobody, thus breaking the POSIX-compliance.This issue is now
fixed and the root-squash behavior is consistent with the standards. (BZ#985737)

• The format of the internal key used to identify a fully qualified domain name

(FQDN) based hostname was not complied by the parser and the NFS mounts failed
when a client with FQDN based hostname was mounted. This issue is now fixed to
comply with the parser and the NFS mount works. (BZ#985736)
