RHBA-2018:0631 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated glusterfs packages that fixes one bug are now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.3 Update 1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

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.

This advisory fixes the following bug:

• An rsync failure due to the lazy umount of master volume by geo-replication worker, will result in the inability to resolve the absolute path for the files. With this fix, the master volume mount is retained throughout the life of the geo-replication worker and is not lazily unmounted. The mount is available via private mount namespace and only available to geo-replication worker and its descendants. Since rsync is spawned by geo-replication worker, it can resolve the absolute path and geo-replication is able to sync. (BZ#1547931)

Users of glusterfs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fixes this bug. This ensures deployments using geo-replication service do not break upon update of the underlying RHEL version.
