- Antietcd is now officially safe to use: the release includes a fixed version of antietcd
which passes Jepsen transaction serializability tests.
- Fix a huge checksum bug in the old store: incorrect checksums for small initial writes.
The bug affected writes of exactly csum_block_size (4k by default) into new (unallocated)
objects and generated invalid checksums in the store for the written 4k block. Moreover,
generation of these invalid checksums was very slow because it was calculating CRC32
for 4 GB of zeroes. If the block wasn't then overwritten as a part of a larger write
request it became unreadable even though the stored data was correct. The bug affected
all versions since 1.0.0, or since 2.3.0 because vitastor-disk didn't allow to enable
checksums prior to 2.3.0 because of another bug. O:-)
- Prevent OSD disconnections due to long blocking of event-loop caused by PG resharding
(moving objects between old and new PGs in memory) when changing pool PG count or
just on restart of an OSD with a large database (for example, with a filled 8 TB SSD).
The issue should now be fixed because OSD now performs resharding in chunks with pauses
between chunks.
- Prevent pools stuck in paused state on an aborted PG count change.
- Fix a possible OSD crash with "division by zero" when trying to handle an operation
before pool PG count is applied to the in-memory store.
Important fixes:
- Disable RWF_ATOMIC by default because Linux incorrectly requires all atomic
writes to be power-of-2-sized and length-aligned. Details: [use_atomic_flag](https://vitastor.io/en/docs/config/osd.html#use_atomic_flag)
- Fix cross-pool snapshots not working at all - always reading old data after taking the snapshot
- Fix level_placement (broken in 2.2.0)
- Fix CAS write return values in the client library (broken in 2.4.4), also breaking unaligned writes in VitastorFS
- Fix VitastorFS possibly losing some of intersecting parallel unaligned writes
- Prevent possible reads of the old data during unfinished intent writes in the new store
- Tests added for all of above problems to prevent future regressions
Other fixes:
- Allow to specify OSD tags and weights during prepare
- Only clear the first block instead of whole OSD metadata and journal areas during vitastor-disk
prepare - OSD anyway clears them on the first run
- Fix vitastor-cli dd non-seekable detection and error status
- Do not stop OSD on zero-copy tcp short send errors - these aren't a bug, but just caused
by TCP client disconnections
- Fix modify-osd not working after deleting the OSD configuration key from etcd
- Fix regular antietcd websocket disconnections in OSD due to lack of WS_PONG responses to WS_PING
- Reduce the number of allocated RDMA memory regions
- Allow routed RoCE
A single new feature: the new log-structured metadata store implementation, described
in the presentation from Moscow Highload'2025 (check it out [here](https://vitastor.io/en/docs/#talks-and-presentations)).
It's now the default store for new OSDs. The support for the old store is also left in place,
you can still choose it for new OSDs with `vitastor-disk prepare --meta_format 2`.
OSDs from previous versions with the old store format will also continue to operate just like before.
- Implement `vitastor-kv rescue` command which dumps all readable blocks from the
database regardless of the tree structure and allows to recover a corrupted database.
- Simplify primary OSD selection - use just PG number instead of the hash. This allows
to distribute primary OSDs more evenly and reach better read speeds.
- Fix vitastor-kv-stress hang on parallel list & reopen.
- Fix CAS writes without immediate_commit. Fix is sufficient for vitastor-kv to
operate correctly in non-immediate_commit pools.
- Fix NFS ACCESS calls for broken inodes (allow root access to them).
- Fix broken vitastor-kv-stress --runtime parameter.
- Fix bad vitastor-kv dump output buffering leading to incorrect JSON in dumps.
- Fix writing garbage from uninitialized memory to the empty space in VitastorKV DB.
- Refactor some code in preparation to the release of the new log-structured metadata store.
- Replace assert(done != expected) error message, probably caused by kernel issues with
zero-copy TCP send, with a more concise error description.

- Do not repeer when stopping PEER_CONNECTING osd_clients (increase PG peering stability on failover)
- Fix marking PGs as incomplete when peers are unavailable

- Fix Proxmox 9.0 support (remove some kind of a whitelist added in upstream)
New features:
- Add a new kernel device mounting method: [ublk](https://vitastor.io/docs/usage/ublk.html).
It's the fastest method for random IOPS, and it's on par with VDUSE for linear MB/s.
- Disable io_uring waits being reported as iowait on kernels which support it (6.15+)
- Allow to enforce permissions at the VitastorFS NFS server side
- Add qemu_file_mirror_path option to the config to allow to trick Veeam and make it work

- Remove the dependency on system liburing in package builds (build it statically)
Bug fixes:
- Fix checksums NEVER BEING ENABLED in vitastor-disk prepare, even when explicitly requested :-D
- Use default uid and gid from NFS AUTH_SYS when creating files
- Fix object bitmaps supposedly & possibly being corrupted in some rare cases with EC N+2+
- Avoid multiple inflight overwrites to meta blocks - fixes possible data corruption with
one specific SSD model: Memblaze PBlaze5 910 (github #79)
- Fix a bug in antietcd which was leading to leases sometimes not expiring correctly
- Fix a bug in NFS where ".." entry had its `cookie` equal to 0 instead of 1 (github #78)
- Fix snapshots not being deleted during VM deletion in Proxmox plugin (github #85)
- Fix monitor not filtering OSDs by block size correctly
When qemu_file_mirror_path is set to "/dir/" in /etc/vitastor/vitastor.conf, QEMU driver
returns "/dir/image_name" as the filename in qemu-img info and in QAPI to trick software
like Veeam which expects file-based access. After that, vitastor-nfs can be mounted to that
directory to make backups work :-)
