- Fix csum_block_size > 0 unusable with atomic writes in the new store
(almost all atomic write requests generated invalid checksums with csum_block_size > 0)
- Fix monitor sometimes randomly failing to optimize PGs with the "problem is
infeasible or unbounded" message due to not waiting to read full stdout of lp_solve
- Remove reshard_abort optimisation to fix chunked resharding introduced in 3.0.2 possibly
corrupting in-memory OSD state when handling multiple rapid PG count change requests
- Fix removed inodes not disappearing from OSD statistics in the new store, leading to
bloating of the statistics with old inodes
- Increase test coverage for the new store and fix several minor bugs:
- Enabling/disabling of used_for_app was recalculating inode space statistics incorrectly
- Fix object metadata validation on OSD startup rejecting some correct sequences of entries,
possibly leading to OSD being unable to start
- Fix PG activation with EC failing in rare cases with EBUSY when requesting to commit an
already committed write
- Fix a theoretically possible metadata writeback issue on ENOSPC during commit
- Fix monitor failing to optimize PGs in presence of a host with name convertible to
js Number (like 04e278988710) :D
- Fix vitastor-cli dd sometimes (rarely) truncating the image when writing to stdout
- Fix a theoretically possible client connection object leak when io_uring is full
- Fix a leak of RDMA-CM connection objects
- Fix crashes with data_block_size < 32KB (useless setup, but anyway) (#113)

Documentation → Installation → Dockerized Installation
Dockerized Installation
Vitastor may be installed in Docker/Podman. In such setups etcd, monitors and OSD all run in containers, but everything else looks as close as possible to a usual setup with packages:
- host network is used
- auto-start is implemented through udev and systemd
- logs are written to journald (not docker json log files)
- command-line wrapper scripts are installed to the host system to call vitastor-disk, vitastor-cli and others through the container
Such installations may be useful when it's impossible or inconvenient to install Vitastor from packages, for example, in exotic Linux distributions.
If you don't want just a simple containerized installation, you can also take a look at Vitastor Kubernetes operator: https://github.com/Antilles7227/vitastor-operator
Installing Containers
The instruction is very simple.
- Download a Docker image of the desired version:
docker pull vitalif/vitastor:v3.0.3 - Install scripts to the host system:
docker run --rm -it -v /etc:/host-etc -v /usr/bin:/host-bin vitalif/vitastor:v3.0.3 install.sh - Reload udev rules:
udevadm control --reload-rules
And you can return to Quick Start.
Upgrading Containers
First make sure to check the topic Upgrading Vitastor to figure out if you need any additional steps.
Then, to upgrade a containerized installation, you just need to change the VITASTOR_VERSION
option in /etc/vitastor/docker.conf and restart all Vitastor services:
systemctl restart vitastor.target
QEMU
Vitastor Docker image also contains QEMU, qemu-img and qemu-storage-daemon built with Vitastor support.
However, running QEMU in Docker is harder to setup and it depends on the used virtualization UI (OpenNebula, Proxmox and so on). Some of them also required patched Libvirt.
That's why containerized installation of Vitastor doesn't contain a ready-made QEMU setup and it's recommended to install QEMU from packages or build it manually.
fio
Vitastor Docker image also contains fio and installs a wrapper called vitastor-fio to use it from
the host system.
