Key highlights of 3.0 are
* Background self-healing: Applications won't be blocked any more during
healing operation.
* Checksum based healing: Rsync like healing mechanism to heal only the
inconsistent blocks within a file.
* Healing on the fly: Files can be healed even when the files are open and
application is performing active I/O.
* Generation numbers: Self-healing can now reliably handle tricky corner
cases (such as "rm -rf" bug).
