RHBA-2016:1576 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated glusterfs packages that fix one bug is now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1.

Description

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

While initializing the glusterd service to regenerate the volfiles, during an upgrade of Red Hat Gluster Storage from 3.0.x to 3.1.x, glusterd fails. Hence, the volfiles are not generated during the upgrade with the latest version. This can lead to different issues such as brick logs getting flooded with erroneous log entries or split brain post upgrade. With this update, this issue has been resolved and the upgrade runs as expected.

All users of Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised to apply this update.
