Some of you might have seen GlusterFS-3.7.10 packages appear in the repositories, and wondered why an announcement hasn't been made. GlusterFS-3.7.10 contains a regression (also present in 3.7.9), which could prevent GlusterD from starting after a reboot. This regression was decided as a blocker, and a decision was made to do a quick GlusterFS-3.7.11 release solving it. The 3.7.11 release should be available in within the next 2 days. ## The regression GlusterD would fail to start after a system reboot, in case snapshotted volumes were present. As a fix for another bug, GlusterD began resolving and saving the resolved brick paths on startup. The same also needs to be done for snapshotted bricks paths. But the path resolution can only happen if the logical volume (LV) snapshot is mounted, which is handled by GlusterD. On a restart, the snapshot brick paths aren't mounted. GlusterD would try to resolve this paths, before it had actually mounted these paths, and fail to start. There is a workaround present though. This script [1] will create the paths for the snapshot bricks and allow GlusterD to start. ## Who it affects This regression affects users running GlusterFS servers on Linux, and who are using GlusterFS volume snapshots. If you are, it is recommended to skip 3.7.10 and upgrade directly to 3.7.11 when available. BSDs should not be affected as snapshots don't work on them. Users not using volume snapshots are also safe.
