RHBA-2018:0640 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gluster-block packages that fix several bugs are now available for Container-Native Storage 3.9 and Container Ready Storage.

Description

gluster-block is a distributed management framework for block devices, provided as a command line utility. It aims to make Gluster-backed block storage creation and maintenance as simple as possible. gluster-block can provision block devices and export them as iSCSI LUNs across multiple nodes, and uses iSCSI protocol for data transfer as SCSI block/commands.

Block storage allows the creation of high performance individual storage units. Unlike the traditional file storage capability that glusterfs supports, each storage volume/block device can be treated as an independent disk drive, so that each storage volume/block device can support an individual file system.

Users of gluster-block are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
