RHBA-2020:3122 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated glusterfs packages that fix several bugs is now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Description

Red Hat Gluster Storage is 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 bugs:

• Previously, in an ovirt-gluster hyperconverged environment rebooting one of the hosts killed vms running on the available hosts. The group ‘virt’ has been updated with network related options. With this update, vms on available hosts function normally. (BZ#1848899)
• Previously,replication module did not use eager-lock functionality for fsync fop which affected performance on RHHI/RHV workloads that use fsyncs frequently. With this update, fsync in the replication module uses eager-lock functionality which improves the performance of RHHI/RHV workloads.(BZ#1848896)
• Previously, entry heal was triggered just on the source bricks even when the sink brick was down.This led to the AFR pending-xattrs on the source bricks being reset unintentionally,resulting in gfid split-brains. With this update, entry heal is triggered only when all the bricks of the replica are up, thus preventing such spurious heals leading to gfid split-brains. (BZ#1848893)

All users of glusterfs on Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised to upgrade to this updated packages.
