We found a few critical problems with v0.56, and fixed a few outstanding problems. v0.56.1 is ready, and we're pretty pleased with it! There are two critical fixes in this update: a fix for possible data loss or corruption if power is lost, and a protocol compatibility problem that was introduced in v0.56 (between v0.56 and any other version of ceph). * osd: fix commit sequence for XFS, ext4 (or any other non-btrfs) to prevent data loss on power cycle or kernel panic * osd: fix compatibility for CALL operation * osd: process old osdmaps prior to joining cluster (fixes slow startup) * osd: fix a couple of recovery-related crashes * osd: fix large io requests when journal is in (non-default) aio mode * log: fix possible deadlock in logging code This release will kick off the bobtail backport series, and will get a shiny new URL for it's home. * Git at git://github.com/ceph/ceph.git * Tarball at http://ceph.com/download/ceph-0.56.1.tar.gz * For Debian/Ubuntu packages, see http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/debian * For RPMs, see http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/rpm -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
