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 :-)
- Support Ubuntu 24.04 Noble
- Fix clients hanging on online PG count change with in-flight operations
- Fix volume_size_info in PVE VitastorPlugin
- Implement bdrv_refresh_filename for the QEMU driver
- Fix RDMA-CM broken in 2.2.0
- Fix possible "invalid %N$ use detected" OSD crashes
- Fix vitastor-nfs build without RDMA
- Fix docker build by adding the forgotten apt/preferences
- Fix libfio_blockstore.so
- Fix "trigger event loop automatically" API version check in the QEMU driver
- Add Content-Type header for prometheus metrics
- Add a patch for libvirt 11.5
- Fix a bug introduced in 2.2.0 - pg_locks weren't disabled for pools without local_reads
correctly which could lead to inactive pools during various operations
- Fix an old bug where OSDs could send sub-operations to incorrect peer OSDs when their
connections were stopped and reestablished quickly, in 2.2.0 it was usually leading
to "sequencing broken" messages in OSD logs
- Fix debug use_sync_send_recv mode
This is required to prevent disconnected peers from sometimes receiving messages
suited for other peers - stop_client was freeing the operations even though they
were still references in the io_uring requests in progress. This was leading to
OSDs sometimes receiving garbage and "broken sequencing" errors in logs as the
memory was usually already reallocated for other operations
- Fix vitastor-disk purge broken after adding the "OSD is still running" check
- Fix iothreads hanging after adding zero-copy send support
- Fix enabling localized reads online (without restarting OSDs) in the default PG lock mode
New features:
- [Localized read support](https://vitastor.io/docs/config/pool.html#local_reads) for multi-datacenter setups.
- io_uring-based [zero-copy send support](https://vitastor.io/docs/config/network.html#min_zerocopy_send_size) -
read the instruction carefully for optimal performance!
- Improve and speedup data distribution, especially in cases of very large hosts (100 OSD+).
Previously, PG optimization speed depended on the number of OSDs, now it only depends on
the number of failure domains. Distribution over specific OSDs is now also more even and
becomes strictly more even when you increase the number of PGs.
- Add a [very interesting instruction](https://vitastor.io/en/docs/usage/nfs.html#linux-nfs-write-size) to change NFS_MAX_FILE_IO_SIZE
- Check operation sequencing and stop connections when it breaks - should help catch some
very rare RDMA packet loss problems.
- `vitastor-cli rm-osd` now refuses to remove OSDs which are still up and suggests to use `vitastor-disk purge`.
- Allow removal of direntries referring non-existent in VitastorFS.
- Change default vitastor-etcd data dir to /var/lib/etcd/vitastor.
Bug fixes:
- Fix compatibility with ISA-L 2.31+. ⚠️Very important: please upgrade Vitastor before upgrading ISA-L to 2.31+.
- Fix in-memory state cleanup for incomplete PGs.
- Fix monitor crash with non-existent node_placement nodes.
- Slightly speedup `vitastor-kv dump` command by adding output buffering.
- Fix theoretically possible slowdowns in OSD sub-operation failure handling code.
- Fix very rare stack overflows in vitastor-kv.
- Fix a possible crash in VitastorFS during handling of file creation race condition.
- Fix modify-pool -s PG_SIZE which didn't work without --pg_minsize.
- Fix marking peer OSDs as alive on receiving data from them via RDMA - in theory,
the bug could result in instability with RDMA under high load with slow disks.
- Fix a rare OSD crash due to double handle_primary_subop() call.
- Fix latency aggregation in global stats (/vitastor/stats in etcd) - do not sum it.
- Hide "Ran out of journal space" log messages by default.
- Wait for RDMA-CM EVENT_ESTABLISHED after rdma_accept(), handle rdma_accept() before acking the event.
- Fix VitastorFS total & free numbers multiplied by extra 2.
- Fix systemd unit name in make-etcd.
- Do not allow reweight > 1 in vitastor-cli modify-osd.
- Fix docker build.
This greatly speeds up PG placement and makes it more uniform both because the LP task
becomes simpler and because the distribution of individual OSDs is optimised manually
New features:
- Support separate OSD cluster network - [osd_cluster_network](https://vitastor.io/docs/config/network.html#osd_cluster_network)
and, in general, multiple OSD networks, including RDMA
- Add an alternative RDMA implementation via RDMA-CM - [use_rdmacm](https://vitastor.io/docs/config/network.html#use_rdmacm),
required for iWARP and, maybe, for some IB setups (but not for RoCE)
- Change default PG behaviour to wait for all "up" OSDs to be connected before starting it.
The old behaviour may be returned by enabling a new [allow_net_split](https://vitastor.io/docs/config/osd.html#allow_net_split)
option.
- Add a patch for QEMU 9.2
Bug fixes:
- Fix incorrect "has_xxx" PG state names in ls-pgs
- Fix possible QEMU crashes after detaching of Vitastor disks (and update all QEMU builds in Vitastor repos)
- Fix clients sometimes spamming OSDs with infinite reconnections when some PGs are offline
- Fall back to TCP on RDMA connection failures
- Add missing logging of RDMA ibv_modify_qp() errors
- Add a minimum interval for etcd_state_client to reload state
