OpenAFS 1.6.15 (Security Release)
All client and server platforms
* Fix for OPENAFS-SA-2015-007 "Tattletale"
When constructing an Rx acknowledgment (ACK) packet, Andrew-derived
Rx implementations do not initialize three octets of data that are
padding in the C language structure and were inadvertently included
in the wire protocol (CVE-2015-7762). Additionally, OpenAFS Rx in
versions 1.5.75 through 1.5.78, 1.6.0 through 1.6.14, and 1.7.0
through 1.7.32 include a variable-length padding at the end of the
ACK packet, in an attempt to detect the path MTU, but only four octets
of the additional padding are initialized (CVE-2015-7763).

11010..11065 11112 11148 11196 11530)
FreeBSD
* Support releases 9.3 and 10.1 (11368 11369 11402 11403 11404)
* Makes a disk cache more likely to work on FreeBSD, though such

a collateral effect of the security improvements introduced in OpenAFS
release 1.6.5 (11075) (RT #131852)
All client platforms
* Raised the free space reported for /afs to the maximum possible value of
just under 2 TiB - the old value was 9 GiB on most platforms (10984)
* Reduced the amount of stack space used (11162 11163 11203 11164..11167
11338 11339 11364..11366 11381)

cause VFS cache inconsistencies when a previously-accessed directory
entry was removed and recreated with the same name but pointing to a
different file on another client (11358)

the K5 principal to a K4 one fails (11538)
* Build fixes (11435 11636)
All client platforms
* Avoid a potential kernel panic due to connection reference overcounts
(11645) (RT #131885)
* Avoid potential corruption of files written using memory mapped I/O
when the file is larger than the cache (11656) (RT #131976)
Linux clients
* Support kernels at least up to 3.19 (11549 11550 11569 11570 11595
11658..11662 11694 11752)
Note: By default this excludes kernels 3.17 to 3.17.2, which will leak
an inode reference when an error occurs in d_splice_alias(). The
module will build and work, but leak kernel memory, leading to
performance degradation and eventually system failure due to
memory exhaustion. Since it's impossible to detect this condition
automatically, the switch --enable-linux-d_splice_alias-extra-iput
must be passed to configure when building the module for those
kernels. The same would be necessary for any kernel with backports
of commit 908790fa3b779d37365e6b28e3aa0f6e833020c3 or commit
95ad5c291313b66a98a44dc92b57e0b37c1dd589 but not the fix in commit
51486b900ee92856b977eacfc5bfbe6565028070 in the linux-stable repo
(git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git) or
the corresponding changes on other branches.
* Fixed a regression introduced in OpenAFS release 1.6.10 which could
make the spurious "getcwd: cannot access parent directories" problem
return (11558 11568) (RT #131780)
* Avoid leaking memory when scanning a corrupt directory (11707)
OS X clients
* Support OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" (11571 11572 11611) (RT #131946)

* Avoid reading random data rather than correct cache content when using
ZFS as the cache file system on Solaris >= 11, and fix potential similar
problems on other platforms (11713 11714)
FreeBSD
* Build fix for releases >= 11.0 (11610)
OpenBSD

User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.12
All server platforms
* Avoid database corruption if a database server is shut down and then
brought up again quickly with an altered database (11773 11774)
(RT #131997)

User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.14
All server platforms
* Prior to the OpenAFS security release 1.6.13, the Volume Location
Server (vlserver) RPC VL_ListAttributesN2() supported wildcard volume
name lookups via regular expression (regex) pattern matching. This
support was completely disabled in 1.6.13 because it was judged to be
a security risk due to buffer overruns in the implementation, as well
as the possibility of denial of service attacks where certain regular
expressions could cause excessive CPU usage in some regex
implementations.
Unfortunately, after 1.6.13 was released, it was discovered that
the native OpenAFS 'backup' system uses the VL_ListAttributesN2()
regex support to evaluate configured volume sets. If you use the
OpenAFS 'backup' system (or another backup system which relies on it,
such as Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM, aka Tivoli ADSM)), and are using
volume sets which require regular expressions for the volume name,
then those volume sets cannot be resolved by OpenAFS 1.6.13. The next
paragraph provides details on how to identify any affected volume sets.
OpenAFS backup volume sets may be described by fileserver, partition
name, and volume name. The fileserver and partition specifications
never require regular expression support. The volume name specification
always requires regular expression support except for when specifying
_all_ volumes via two special cases: the universal wildcard ".*", or "".
For example, volume name "proj" or "*.backup" or "homevol.*" all
require regex support - even if the specification contains no wildcard
characters and/or exactly matches an existing volume name.
As a result of this issue, OpenAFS 1.6.14 replaces the 1.6.13 changes
to VL_ListAttributesN2. 1.6.14 prevents the buffer overruns and
reenables the regex support, but restricts it to OpenAFS super-users
and -localauth only. This is sufficient to restore the OpenAFS 'backup'
system's ability to work correctly with any previously supported volume
set. The OpenAFS 'backup' commands are already documented to require
super-user authorization, so this restriction is moot for the backup
system.
There are no other direct consumers of the VL_ListAttributesN2() regex
support in the OpenAFS tree. However, the VL_ListAttributesN2 RPC is
publicly accessible and might be used by third party tools directly or
indirectly via OpenAFS's libadmin. Any such tools that issue
VL_ListAttributesN2 RPCs must now be executed using super-user or
-localauth tokens.
None of the other security fixes in OpenAFS 1.6.13 are known to have
any issues, and are still included unchanged in OpenAFS 1.6.14.
If there are any questions concerning the possible impact of OpenAFS
1.6.13 or 1.6.14 at your site, please contact your OpenAFS support
provider or the openafs-info@openafs.org mailing list for further
assistance.
Release 1.10.2 (2015-07-30)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Packaging Changes
-----------------
This release no longer requires the ``mock`` library (which was previously
used in the unit test suite). Shortly after the Tahoe-LAFS 1.10.1 release, a
new version of ``mock`` was released (1.1.0) that proved to be incompatible
with Tahoe's fork of setuptools, preventing Tahoe-1.10.1 from building at
all. `#2465`_
The ``tahoe --version`` output is now less likely to include scary diagnostic
warnings that look deceptively like stack traces. `#2436`_
The pyasn1 requirement was increased to >= 0.1.8.

Other Fixes
-----------
A WebAPI ``GET`` would sometimes hang when using the HTTP Range header to
read just part of the file. `#2459`_
Using ``tahoe cp`` to copy two different files of the same name into the same
target directory now raises an error, rather than silently overwriting one of
them. `#2447`_

- The 'visit' method only dereferences the callback return value

{perl>=5.16.6,p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS>=3.15}:../../devel/p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS
since pkgsrc enforces the newest perl version anyway, so they
should always pick perl, but sometimes (pkg_add) don't due to the
design of the {,} syntax.
No effective change for the above reason.

Release 1.10.1 (2015-06-15)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
User Interface / Configuration Changes
--------------------------------------
The "``tahoe cp``" CLI command's ``--recursive`` option is now more predictable,
but behaves slightly differently than before. See below for details. Tickets
`#712`_, `#2329`_.
The SFTP server can now use public-key authentication (instead of only
password-based auth). Public keys are configured through an "account file",
just like passwords. See docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP for examples of the
format. `#1411`_
The Tahoe node can now be configured to disable automatic IP-address
detection. Using "AUTO" in tahoe.cfg [node]tub.location= (which is now the
default) triggers autodetection. Omit "AUTO" to disable autodetection. "AUTO"
can be combined with static addresses to e.g. use both a stable
UPnP-configured tunneled address and a DHCP-assigned dynamic (local subnet
only) address. See `configuration.rst`_ for details. `#754`_
The web-based user interface ("WUI") Directory and Welcome pages have been
redesigned, with improved CSS for narrow windows and more-accessible icons
(using distinctive shapes instead of just colors). `#1931`_ `#1961`_ `#1966`_

"tahoe cp" changes
------------------
The many ``cp``-like tools in the Unix world (POSIX ``/bin/cp``, the ``scp``
provided by SSH, ``rsync``) all behave slightly differently in unusual
circumstances, especially when copying whole directories into a target that
may or may not already exist. The most common difference is whether the user
is referring to the source directory as a whole, or to its contents. For
example, should "``cp -r foodir bardir``" create a new directory named
"``bardir/foodir``"? Or should it behave more like "``cp -r foodir/* bardir``"?
Some tools use the presence of a trailing slash to indicate which behavior
you want. Others ignore trailing slashes.
"``tahoe cp``" is no exception to having exceptional cases. This release fixes
some bad behavior and attempts to establish a consistent rationale for its
behavior. The new rule is:
- If the thing being copied is a directory, and it has a name (e.g. it's not
a raw Tahoe-LAFS directorycap), then you are referring to the directory
itself.
- If the thing being copied is an unnamed directory (e.g. raw dircap or
alias), then you are referring to the contents.
- Trailing slashes do not affect the behavior of the copy (although putting
a trailing slash on a file-like target is an error).
- The "``-r``" (``--recursive``) flag does not affect the behavior of the
copy (although omitting ``-r`` when the source is a directory is an error).
- If the target refers to something that does not yet exist:
- and if the source is a single file, then create a new file;
- otherwise, create a directory.
There are two main cases where the behavior of Tahoe-LAFS v1.10.1 differs
from that of the previous v1.10.0 release:
- "``cp DIRCAP/file.txt ./local/missing``" , where "``./local``" is a
directory but "``./local/missing``" does not exist. The implication is
that you want Tahoe to create a new file named "``./local/missing``" and
fill it with the contents of the Tahoe-side ``DIRCAP/file.txt``. In
v1.10.0, a plain "``cp``" would do just this, but "``cp -r``" would do
"``mkdir ./local/missing``" and then create a file named
"``./local/missing/file.txt``". In v1.10.1, both "``cp``" and "``cp -r``"
create a file named "``./local/missing``".
- "``cp -r PARENTCAP/dir ./local/missing``", where ``PARENTCAP/dir/``
contains "``file.txt``", and again "``./local``" is a directory but
"``./local/missing``" does not exist. In both v1.10.0 and v1.10.1, this
first does "``mkdir ./local/missing``". In v1.10.0, it would then copy
the contents of the source directory into the new directory, resulting
in "``./local/missing/file.txt``". In v1.10.1, following the new rule
of "a named directory source refers to the directory itself", the tool
creates "``./local/missing/dir/file.txt``".
Compatibility and Dependency Updates
------------------------------------
Windows now requires Python 2.7. Unix/OS-X platforms can still use either
Python 2.6 or 2.7, however this is probably the last release that will
support 2.6 (it is no longer receiving security updates, and most OS
distributions have switched to 2.7). Tahoe-LAFS now has the following
dependencies:
- Twisted >= 13.0.0
- Nevow >= 0.11.1
- foolscap >= 0.8.0
- service-identity
- characteristic >= 14.0.0
- pyasn1 >= 0.1.4
- pyasn1-modules >= 0.0.5
On Windows, if pywin32 is not installed then the dependencies on Twisted
and Nevow become:
- Twisted >= 11.1.0, <= 12.1.0
- Nevow >= 0.9.33, <= 0.10
On all platforms, if pyOpenSSL >= 0.14 is installed, then it will be used,
but if not then only pyOpenSSL >= 0.13, <= 0.13.1 will be built when directly
invoking `setup.py build` or `setup.py install`.
We strongly advise OS packagers to take the option of making a tahoe-lafs
package depend on pyOpenSSL >= 0.14. In order for that to work, the following
additional Python dependencies are needed:
- cryptography
- cffi >= 0.8
- six >= 1.4.1
- enum34
- pycparser
as well as libffi (for Debian/Ubuntu, the name of the needed OS package is
`libffi6`).
Tahoe-LAFS is now compatible with Setuptools version 8 and Pip version 6 or
later, which should fix execution on Ubuntu 15.04 (it now tolerates PEP440
semantics in dependency specifications). `#2354`_ `#2242`_
Tahoe-LAFS now depends upon foolscap-0.8.0, which creates better private keys
and certificates than previous versions. To benefit from the improvements
(2048-bit RSA keys and SHA256-based certificates), you must re-generate your
Tahoe nodes (which changes their TubIDs and FURLs). `#2400`_

Packaging
---------
A preliminary OS-X package, named "``tahoe-lafs-VERSION-osx.pkg``", is now
being generated. It is a standard double-clickable installer, which creates
``/Applications/tahoe.app`` that embeds a complete runtime tree. However
launching the ``.app`` only brings up a notice on how to run tahoe from the
command line. A future release may turn this into a fully-fledged application
launcher. `#182`_ `#2393`_ `#2323`_
Preliminary Docker support was added. Tahoe container images may be available
on DockerHub. `PR#165`_ `#2419`_ `#2421`_
Old and obsolete Debian packaging tools have been removed. `#2282`_

Bitrot detection is a technique used to identify an ?insidious?
type of disk error where data is silently corrupted with no indication
from the disk to the storage software layer that an error has
occurred. When bitrot detection is enabled on a volume, gluster
performs signing of all files/objects in the volume and scrubs data
periodically for signature verification. All anomalies observed
will be noted in log files.
* Multi threaded epoll for performance improvements
Gluster 3.7 introduces multiple threads to dequeue and process more
requests from epoll queues. This improves performance by processing
more I/O requests. Workloads that involve read/write operations on
a lot of small files can benefit from this enhancement.
* Volume Tiering [Experimental]
Policy based tiering for placement of files. This feature will serve
as a foundational piece for building support for data classification.
Volume Tiering is marked as an experimental feature for this release.
It is expected to be fully supported in a 3.7.x minor release.
Trashcan
This feature will enable administrators to temporarily store deleted
files from Gluster volumes for a specified time period.
* Efficient Object Count and Inode Quota Support
This improvement enables an easy mechanism to retrieve the number
of objects per directory or volume. Count of objects/files within
a directory hierarchy is stored as an extended attribute of a
directory. The extended attribute can be queried to retrieve the
count.
This feature has been utilized to add support for inode quotas.
* Pro-active Self healing for Erasure Coding
Gluster 3.7 adds pro-active self healing support for erasure coded
volumes.
* Exports and Netgroups Authentication for NFS
This feature adds Linux-style exports & netgroups authentication
to the native NFS server. This enables administrators to restrict
access to specific clients & netgroups for volume/sub-directory
NFSv3 exports.
* GlusterFind
GlusterFind is a new tool that provides a mechanism to monitor data
events within a volume. Detection of events like modified files is
made easier without having to traverse the entire volume.
* Rebalance Performance Improvements
Rebalance and remove brick operations in Gluster get a performance
boost by speeding up identification of files needing movement and
a multi-threaded mechanism to move all such files.
* NFSv4 and pNFS support
Gluster 3.7 supports export of volumes through NFSv4, NFSv4.1 and
pNFS. This support is enabled via NFS Ganesha. Infrastructure changes
done in Gluster 3.7 to support this feature include:
- Addition of upcall infrastructure for cache invalidation.
- Support for lease locks and delegations.
- Support for enabling Ganesha through Gluster CLI.
- Corosync and pacemaker based implementation providing resource
monitoring and failover to accomplish NFS HA.
pNFS support for Gluster volumes and NFSv4 delegations are in beta
for this release. Infrastructure changes to support Lease locks and
NFSv4 delegations are targeted for a 3.7.x minor release.
* Snapshot Scheduling
With this enhancement, administrators can schedule volume snapshots.
* Snapshot Cloning
Volume snapshots can now be cloned to create a new writeable volume.
* Sharding [Experimental]
Sharding addresses the problem of fragmentation of space within a
volume. This feature adds support for files that are larger than
the size of an individual brick. Sharding works by chunking files
to blobs of a configurabe size.
Sharding is an experimental feature for this release. It is expected
to be fully supported in a 3.7.x minor release.
* RCU in glusterd
Thread synchronization and critical section access has been improved
by introducing userspace RCU in glusterd
* Arbiter Volumes
Arbiter volumes are 3 way replicated volumes where the 3rd brick
of the replica is automatically configured as an arbiter. The 3rd
brick contains only metadata which provides network partition
tolerance and prevents split-brains from happening.
Update to GlusterFS 3.7.1
* Better split-brain resolution
split-brain resolutions can now be also driven by users without
administrative intervention.
* Geo-replication improvements
There have been several improvements in geo-replication for stability
and performance.
* Minor Improvements
- Message ID based logging has been added for several translators.
- Quorum support for reads.
- Snapshot names contain timestamps by default.Subsequent access
to the snapshots should be done by the name listed in gluster
snapshot list
- Support for gluster volume get <volname> added.
- libgfapi has added handle based functions to get/set POSIX ACLs
based on common libacl structures.

2012-08-14 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Not unhashing the name in forget (commit on 2011-12-09) broke
the forget logic in a subtle way, resulting in "fuse internal
error: node NNN not found" and causing the filesystem daemon to

2011-08-24 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Use LRU list for cleaning up the cache if the "remember=T"
option was given. Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com
2011-07-06 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add ->flock() operation to low and high level interfaces. This
fixes problems with emulating flock() with POSIX locking.
Reported by Sebastian Pipping. As with lock/setlk/getlk most
filesystems don't need to implement this, as the kernel takes care
of file locking. The only reason to implement locking operations
is for network filesystems which want file locking to work between
clients.
2011-07-02 Sebastian Pipping <sebastian@pipping.org>
* Make xmp_utimens of examples "fusexmp" and "fusexmp_fh"
not follow symlinks as other layers do that already.
2011-06-02 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add "remember" option. This works similar to "noforget" except
that eventually the node will be allowed to expire from the cache.
Patch by therealneworld@gmail.com
2011-05-27 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Check if splice/vmsplice are supported
2011-05-26 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>

libfuse.so is already linked with these libraries. Reported by:
Nikolaus Rath
2011-05-20 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Cleaner build output. Patch by Reuben Hawkins
2011-05-19 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Disable splice by default, add "splice_read", "splice_write" and
"splice_move" options. Keep the "no_splice_*" variants, which can
disable splice even if the filesystem explicitly enables it.
2011-04-15 Max Krasnyansky <maxk@kernel.org>
* Added support for "auto_unmount" option which unmounts the
filesystem automatically on process exit (or crash).
2011-03-30 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Patches by Laszlo Papp fixing various issues found by the
Coverity checker
2011-03-11 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* In case of failure to add to /etc/mtab don't umount. Reported
by Marc Deslauriers
2011-02-02 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* libfuse: In fuse_session_loop_mt() don't pause when exiting the
worker threads. The pause() was added in 2.2.1 to prevent
segfault on pthread_cancel() on an exited, detached thread. Now
worker threads are not detached and pthread_cancel() should work
fine even after the thread exited. Reported by Boris Protopopov
2011-01-31 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* fusermount: chdir to / before performing mount/umount
* fusermount: only allow mount and umount if util-linux supports
--no-canonicalize
2010-12-16 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Highlevel lib: allow hash tables to shrink
* Highlevel lib: add slab allocation for node cache. This will
allow the memory used by the filesystem to grow and shrink
depending on how many inodes are currently cached.
2010-12-13 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Highlevel lib: use dynamically resized hash table for looking up
by name and node ID.
2010-12-07 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Allow batching of forget requests. This allows forget requests
to be processed faster and doesn't require a modification to fuse
filesystems. Reported by Terje Malmedal
* Add ->forget_multi() operation to the lowlevel API. The
filesystem may implement this to process multiple forget requests
in one call
* Fix the ambiguity of ioctl ABI on the kernel/userspace boundary
for 32bit vs. 64bit userspace
2010-11-10 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add new write_buf() method to the highlevel API. Similarly to
the lowlevel write_buf() method, this allows implementing zero
copy writes.
* Add a new read_buf() method to the highlevel API. This allows
returning a generic buffer from the read method, which in turn
allows zero copy reads.
* In fusexmp_fh implement the ->read_buf() and ->write_buf()
methods. Leave the ->read() and ->write() implementations for
reference, even though they are not necessary.
2010-11-08 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix check for read-only fs in mtab update
* Open /dev/null for write instead of read for redirecting stdout
and stderr
* If umount(8) supports --fake and --no-canonicalize (util-linux-ng
version 2.18 or later), and umount(2) supports the
UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag (linux kernel version 2.6.35 or later) then,
"fusermount -u" will call the umount(2) system call and use
"umount --fake ..." to update /etc/mtab
* Added --disable-legacy-umount option to configure. This
disables the runtime checking of umount(8) version. When built
with this option then "fusermount -u" will fail if umount(8)
doesn't support the --fake and --no-canonicalize options.
* Fix fuse_buf_copy() if already at the end of the buffers
* Add new ->write_buf() method to low level interface. This
allows passig a generic buffer, either containing a memory buffer
or a file descriptor. This allows implementing zero copy writes.
* Add fuse_session_receive_buf() and fuse_session_process_buf()
which may be used in event loop implementations to replace
fuse_chan_recv() and fuse_session_process() respectively.
* Remove unnecessary restoring of current working directory in
"fusermount -u"
* Add ctx->pid to debug output
* Fix st_nlink value in high level lib if file is unlinked but
still open
* libfuse: add store request. Request data to be stored in the
kernel buffers for a given inode.
* libfuse: add retrieve request. Retrieve data stored in the
kernel buffers for a given inode.
2010-10-14 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Use LTLIBICONV when linking libfuse. This fixes building against
uclibc + libiconv. Patch by Natanael Copa
2010-10-05 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add missing argument check in ulockmgr.c to prevent calling
ulockmgr_server with illegal arguments. This would cause an ever
growing list of ulockmgr_server processes with an endless list of
open files which finally exceeds the open file handle limit.
Patch by Markus Ammer
2010-09-28 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix ambiguous symbol version for fuse_chan_new.
fuse_versionscript included fuse_chan_new in both FUSE_2.4 and
FUSE_2.6. Remove the FUSE_2.4, which is invalid.
2010-09-28 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix option escaping for fusermount. If the "fsname=" option
contained a comma then the option parser in fusermount was
confused (Novell bugzilla #641480). Fix by escaping commas when
passing them over to fusermount. Reported by Jan Engelhardt
2010-08-27 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add NetBSD support. Patch from Emmanuel Dreyfus
2010-07-12 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* libfuse: add buffer interface. Add a generic buffer interface
for use with I/O. Buffer vectors are supplied and each buffer in
the vector may be a memory pointer or a file descriptor.
* The fuse_reply_fd() interface is converted to using buffers.
2010-06-23 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Make the number of max background requests and congestion
threshold tunable. New options are "max_background" and
"congestion_threshold". Only effective on linux kernel versions
2.6.32 or greater. Patch by Csaba Henk
2010-06-17 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add fuse_reply_fd() reply function to the low level interface.
On linux version 2.6.35 or greater this will use splice() to move
data directly from a file descriptor to the fuse device without
needing to go though a userspace buffer. With the
FUSE_REPLY_FD_MOVE flag the kernel will attempt to move the data
directly into the filesystem's cache. On earlier kernels it will
fall back to an intermediate buffer. The options
"no_splice_write" and "no_splice_move" can be used to disable
splicing and moving respectively.
2010-06-15 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix out-of-source build. Patch by Jörg Faschingbauer
* Add a "nopath" option and flag, indicating that path argument
need not be calculated for the following operations: read, write,
flush, release, fsync, readdir, releasedir, fsyncdir, ftruncate,
fgetattr, lock, ioctl and poll.
2010-05-10 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Remove "chmod root" from install of fusermount. Reported by
Lucas C. Villa Real
Important changes in 0.91 (2014-05-14)

Changes in this release:
* Fixed a segfault caused by an overflow reading the list of available
decoders.
* A number of problems with the previous distribution tar are now fixed.
* The output of `mp3fs --version` has been made more complete.
Important changes in 0.9 (2014-04-06)
This is a major new release, and brings us very close to a 1.0 release!
Changes in this release:
* All transcoding code has been completely rewritten. Encoding and
decoding have been abstracted out into base classes defining interfaces
that can be implemented by different codec classes, with just a FLAC
decoder and MP3 encoder at the moment.
* The build system has been modified as well to support this usage.
* A number of small bugs or code inefficiencies have been fixed.
Important changes in 0.32 (2012-06-18)
This release has a lot of bug fixes and some code cleanup.
Changes in this release:
* The file size calculation should always be correct.
* A crash affecting programs like scp that might try to access past the
end of the file has been fixed.
* Too many other little fixes were made to list here. See the ChangeLog
for full details.
Important changes in 0.31 (2011-12-04)
This is a minor update, with bug fixes and a new feature.
Changes in this release:
* The ReplayGain support added earlier now can be configured through the
command line.
* Filename translation (from .flac to .mp3) is now fixed on filesystems
such as XFS that do not populate dirent.d_type.
* A couple other minor bugs fixes and changes were made.
Important changes in 0.30 (2010-12-01)
This is a major new release, and brings mp3fs much closer to an eventual
1.0 release.
Changes in this release:
* Support for additional metadata tags has been added. (From Gregor
Zurowski)
* Documentation improvements: the help message is more useful, and a man
page has been added.
* Choosing bitrate is now done with a command-line or mount option, rather
than the old comma syntax.
* A new option to select LAME encoding quality is now available. (From
Gregor Zurowski)
* Debug output can be enabled at runtime.
* Old external libraries included in distribution (StringIO, talloc) have
been removed and replaced.
* Numerous bug fixes have been made. (Some from Gregor Zurowski)
New features:
- Volume Snapshots
Distributed lvm thin-pool based snapshots for backing up volumes
in a Gluster Trusted Storage Pool. Apart from providing cluster
wide co-ordination to trigger a consistent snapshot, several
improvements have been performed through the GlusterFS stack to
make translators more crash consistent. Snapshotting of volumes is
tightly coupled with lvm today but one could also enhance the same
framework to integrate with a backend storage technology like btrfs
that can perform snapshots.
- Erasure Coding
Xavier Hernandez from Datalab added support to perform erasure
coding of data in a GlusterFS volume across nodes in a Trusted
Storage Pool. Erasure Coding requires fewer nodes to provide better
redundancy than a n-way replicated volume and can help in reducing
the overall deployment cost. We look forward to build on this
foundation and deliver more enhancememnts in upcoming releases.
- Better SSL support
Multiple improvements to SSL support in GlusterFS. The GlusterFS
driver in OpenStack Manila that provides certificate based access
to tenants relies on these improvements.
- Meta translator
This translator provides a /proc like view for examining internal
state of translators on the client stack of a GlusterFS volume and
certainly looks like an interface that I would be heavily consuming
for introspection of GlusterFS.
- Automatic File Replication (AFR) v2
A significant re-factor of the synchronous replication translator,
provides granular entry self-healing and reduced resource consumption
with entry self-heals.
- NetBSD, OSX and FreeBSD ports
Lot of fixes on the portability front. The NetBSD port passes most
regression tests as of 3.6.0. At this point, none of these ports
are ready to be deployed in production. However, with dedicated
maintainers for each of these ports, we expect to reach production
readiness on these platforms in a future release.

Upstream changes:
0.060 2014-11-04 17:33:39-05:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added 'truncate' option to append for in-place replacement of
file contents.
0.059 2014-10-14 12:45:46-04:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed precedence bug in the check for Unicode::UTF8
0.058 2014-09-23 11:00:24-04:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added a 'sibling' method as a more efficient form of
calling $path->parent->child(...).
[DOCUMENTED]
- Every method annotated with the version number of the
last API change.
0.057 2014-09-19 11:23:05-04:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- On AIX, reads that default to locking would fail without
write permissions, because locking needs write permissions.
The fix is only to lock reads if write permissions exist;
otherwise locking is skipped.
0.056 2014-08-07 15:08:41-04:00 America/New_York
[*** DEPRECATIONS ***]
- The 'dirname' method is deprecated due to exposing File::Spec
inconsistencies
[ADDED]
- The 'digest' method now takes a 'chunk_size' option to avoid
slurping files entirely into memory.
[FIXED]
- Fixed problem throwing errors from 'remove'
0.055 2014-06-30 10:29:28-04:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- tempfile/tempdir won't warn if used as functions without arguments
0.054 2014-05-04 13:56:11-04:00 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- The 'basename' method now takes a list of suffixes to remove before
returning the name
- FREEZE/THAW/TO_JSON serialization helpers
[CHANGED]
- When constructing a Path::Tiny object from another, the original
is returned unless it's a temp dir/file. This significantly
speeds up calling path($path) if $path is already a Path::Tiny
object. (Thanks to Michael Schwern for prompting such benchmarking.)
[FIXED]
- Constructing any path -- e.g. with child() -- with undef or
zero-length parts throws an error instead of constructing an
invalid path
0.053 2014-03-24 09:25:51-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES]
- The 'is_file' method now does -e && ! -d and not -f because -f
is often more restrictive than people intend or expect.
[ADDED]
- Added 'chmod' method with symbolic chmod support ("a=r,u+rx")
0.052 2014-01-14 15:58:03-05:00 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Backslash-to-slash conversion now only happens on Windows
(since backslash is legal on Unix, we must allow it)
OpenAFS 1.6.9
All server platforms
* Fix for OPENAFS-SA-2014-002
OpenAFS 1.6.8
All platforms
* Documentation improvements (10751 10875 10931 10897 10883 10954 10955)
* Improved diagnostics and error messages (10756 10814 10949)
* Fixed a bug in RX that could make errors during packet reception go
unnoticed. (10733)
* Fixed a bug that made "vos size -dump" display the wrong size for
large volumes. (10933) (RT #131819)
All server platforms
* Change the default fileserver sync behavior from "delayed" to "onclose".
This means that explicit syncing only happens when a volume is detached.
(10809)
* Added the -offline-timeout and -offline-shutdown-timeout options to the
fileserver, to implement interrupting clients accessing volumes we are
trying to take offline. (6266 10799)
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
libntfs: added use of hd library to get the legacy BIOS geometry
libntfs: switched to /proc/mounts for checking existing mounts
libntfs: fixed usa checking by ntfsck on 4K sector disks
libntfs: fixed processing compressed data beyond file size (Windows 8 compliance)
libntfs: fixed expanding a resident attribute without inserting holes
libntfs: allow DACLs to not have any ACE
libntfs: ignore unmapped regions when checking whether sparse
libntfs: upgraded the Win32 interface for use with ntfsprogs
ntfsresize: enabled relocating the MFT when shrinking a volume
ntfsresize: fixed trying to update the MFT and Bitmap on a test run
ntfsresize: fixed updating all the MFT runs in a relocated MFT
ntfsresize: set the backup boot sector when the size is reliable
ntfsresize: reserved a single sector for the backup boot sector
ntfsundelete: output the modification time when scanning files
ntfsundelete: ported to Windows
ntfsclone: fixed wiping fragmented metadata when creating a metadata image
ntfsclone: allowed cloning a file system despite allocation errors
ntfsclone: fixed bad copying of the backup boot sector
ntfsclone: ported to Windows
ntfsdecrypt: made compatible with libgrypt-1.6
- Looks like in some rare circumstances, Cwd::abs_path() can croak,
so now we wrap that in eval { } and deal accordingly.
0.12 2014-02-19
- We now fully resolve symlinks in @INC paths. The previous 'fix'
for Debian broke the tests on FreeBSD.
Thanks to G茅raud Continsouzas, and Daniel Lintott for help testing.
0.11_03 2014-02-18
- Another place where we need to worry about getting undef.
0.11_02 2014-02-18
- Wasn't handling the case where abs_path() returns undef,
which it does if a symlink "goes nowhere".
0.11_01 2014-02-18
- The testsuite fix in 0.11 caused a breakage on FreeBSD,
where a directory path contains a symlink that wasn't
the final directory. So now module_path() fully resolves
all symlinks in the path, using Cwd::abs_path().
0.11 2014-02-17
- Testsuite now uses Cwd::abs_path() on paths from %INC,
to cope with synlinks in @INC directories.
This was causing test failures on Debian(-based) systems.
Thanks to Daniel Lintott and Erez Schatz for reporting
and testing proposed fix.
0.10_01 2014-02-16
- Developer release with the change that made it into
0.11, above.
0.10 2014-02-04
- mpath can display paths for multiple modules (Ahmad Syaltut)
- specified min perl version 5.6.0
0.09_01 2013-08-21
- If a directory in @INC is a symlink, return the linked-to directory
in the path. Problem report and patch from Sharl Morlaroll
https://github.com/neilbowers/Module-Path/issues/4
Remove unused options bos-new-config, fast-restart, & largefile.
Remove patches fixed upstream.
OpenAFS 1.6.6
All platforms
* As of this release, OpenAFS no longer ships uncompressed source tarballs.
Tarballs are still shipped with both compression formats, gzip and bzip2.
(10131)
* Documentation improvements (10136 10314 10601)
* Improved diagnostics and error messages (9412 10085 10274)
* Avoid redefining "assert" in our public header files, which could
cause failures when building some applications using them. (10096)
* Fixes for parallel builds (10005 10309 10337)
* Added a -s switch to afscp (not installed by default) to help simulate
a slow client. (9416 9417)
* Added a -probe switch to vlclient test program (not installed by default)
to ping all vlservers in a cell in parallel. (9570)
All server platforms
* The fileserver now ignores any vice partitions with a NeverAttach flag
file present in the root directory. (RT #130561) (9470 9471)
* Restrict forcing CPS ("Current Protection Subdomain") recalculation in
the fileserver to administrators. Also fixed a bug that could cause this
operation to be incomplete. (9485 9487)
* Allow non-DAFS fileservers to attach unusable volumes, restoring pre-1.6
behaviour. (RT #131505) (9499)
* Restored the pre-1.6 behaviour when running vos examine for a volume
currently in a transaction, showing the volume as busy again rather than
offline. (9685 9915 9916)
* Reduced the minimum time a bos salvage takes from 5 seconds to 1. (9476)
* Fixed buserver to not segfault when started with the -servers option.
(RT #131706) (10166)
* Salvager fixes, addressing a wide variety of possible problems from
unnecessary salvaging to aborts (9282 9283 9457 9458 9459 9461 9462 9480
9481 10165 10167)
* Fixed a bug that could cause saved state information to be discarded
when restarting a large or busy fileserver, which negatively impacted
performance. (9683)
* Fixed a bug that could have caused undefined behaviour in the vlserver
in rare cases when a fileserver registered its addresses in the VLDB.
(9429)
* Added the -preserve-vol-stats switch to volserver, allowing it to keep
the access statistics across volume restore and reclone operations
instead of resetting them. (9477)
* Inserted an exponential delay between retries when bosserver attempts to
restart a server process. (9571 10199)
* Improved vldb_check (not installed by default) to cope with broken
vlentry names and volids, and provide more output to aid debugging.
(10268)
* Releasing a volume after adding a new RO site no longer touches any of
the existing RO sites, if the RW data hasn't changed since the last
release. (10174)
* Make the copyDate field for RO clones have the same meaning as for
remote RO volumes. Previously, the copyDate field for clones was updated
every time we released. (9451)
* Fixed potentially undefined behaviour in ptserver when too many pts
ids are allocated. (10124)
* Note that the server side NAT pings feature present in the prereleases
was removed before the final release, since no positive feedback
was provided during prerelease testing. (9420 10135)
Linux servers
* Start bosserver with -nofork in the systemd unit file, to allow systemd
to track its state (10093)
All client platforms
* No longer track file locks on read-only volumes. Write locks can't
succeed, read locks always will. Avoids log messages about this kind
of lock. (8910)
* Added the "fs flushall" subcommand, which makes the client discard all
cached data. This was previously available on Windows only. (9065 9388
9389 9390)
* Fixed a bug that could make the client incorrectly believe its cache
is up to date. This change could negatively impact AFS <-> DFS
translators, should those still be running anywhere. (8898)
* Several changes to avoid panicing in certain error conditions.
(9131 9287 10354 10355 10356 10357) (partially addressing RT #131747)
* Added the -rxmaxfrags switch to afsd, allowing to limit the number
of UDP fragments sent or received per RX packet. (9430)
* Build fixes for aklog on several platforms (RT #131716) (9917 10107 10275)
* Require that the AFS mountpoint specified in the cacheinfo file is
an absolute path. Relative paths result in a client that basically
works but is not fully functional. (10253)
* Fixed a bug that could cause one of the afsd threads to enter an infinite
loop (10431 .. 10436)
Linux clients
* Support Linux kernels up to 3.13 (10241)
* Fixed a bug that made readv/writev calls in AFS space fail with Linux
kernels where generic_file_aio_read exists but those operations have
not been switched to using aio_read/aio_write. This was a regression
introduced with release 1.6.3 and affected at least RHEL 5.9 kernels.
(10248)
* Fixed a similar bug making core dumps fail in AFS space, affecting
a much wider range of kernels including the most recent ones.
(RT #131729) (10254)
* Enhanced the keyring code to make PAGs work correctly on kernels with a
distribution specific change to the Linux keyring code. This affected at
least SLES 11 SP3 kernels. (10252)
* Fixed a bug that could make failures during PAG instantiation go
unnoticed. (10255)
* Fixed a bug that made compilation fail for Linux kernels without
keyring support. This affected at least the SLE 10 SDK and an
OEM version of SLES 11 SP1. (10325)
* Fixed build for kernels with user namespace support enabled. Likely
to be required for Ubuntu 14.04 and eventually other distributions.
(10456 10457 10458 10518 10472)
* Support RHEL 6.5 kernels, and possibly others with changes backported
from recent mainline kernels that touch getname/putname, by no longer
using those functions. Previously, the client could cause a kernel
panic when syscall auditing was enabled. (10578)
* Make tmpfs usable as the cache filesystem again. This had been broken
since kernel 3.1 (9950 10193)
* When starting the client fails, clean up the backing device information
created in sysfs, to avoid error messages during a subsequent start
and possible system instability later on (10454)
* Update Red Hat packaging to support Fedora >= 20, RHEL >= 7 and
ELrepo kernels (10597 10619 10622 10703 10704)
OS X Clients
* Support OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" (10519 10541 10542 10543 10548 10549)
AIX clients
* Fixed a bug that caused the 1.6 AIX client to never receive any RX
packets in the kernel. (RT #131725)
FUSE client
* Support Solaris 11 (9454 9455)
* Allow other users to access filesystems mounted by root. (9452)
FreeBSD
* Build tvolser and dvolser on this platform (10122)
* Several fixes to catch up with newer releases (10374 .. 10381)
NetBSD
* Build tsalvaged, tvolser and dvolser on this platform (10121)
* Fixed build on NetBSD 5 and newer. (10138)
NetBSD's FUSE implementation is part of the base system, and
filesytems/fuse is the user-space implementation for systems with the
/dev/fuse interface. It might be possible to use filesytems/fuse and
perfused, but that's much harder than librefuse.
Now orifs runs on NetBSD 6.
Ori is a distributed file system built for offline operation and
empowers the user with control over synchronization operations and
conflict resolution. It provides history through light weight
snapshots and allows users to verify the history has not been
tampered with. Through the use of replication, instances can be
resilient and recover damaged data from other nodes.

0.048 2013-12-11 21:56:23 America/New_York
[ADDED]
- Added 'subsumes' method
[CHANGED]
- The 'chomp' option for 'lines' will remove any end-of-line sequences
fully instead of just chomping the last character
- The 'flock' package will no longer indexed by PAUSE
[FIXED]
- Hides warnings and fixes possible fatal errors from pure-perl Cwd,
particularly on MSWin32
Upstream changes:
0.047 2013-11-26 15:11:13 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Previous lock testing fixes broke on Windows (sigh); now fixed,
I hope.
0.046 2013-11-22 17:07:24 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Revised locking tests for portability again: locks are now tested
from a separate process
0.045 2013-11-22 15:28:50 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed locking test on AIX
Upstream changes:
0.044 2013-10-17 17:00:41 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed child path construction against the root path.
- Fixed path construction when a relative volume is provided as the
first argument on Windows; e.g. path("C:", "lib") must be like
path("C:lib"), not path("C:/lib").
- On AIX, shared locking is replaced by exclusive locking on a R/W
filehandle, as locking read handles is not supported
0.043 2013-10-14 06:24:06 America/New_York
[CHANGED]
- Calling 'absolute' on Windows will add the volume if it is missing
(E.g. "/foo" will become "C:/foo"). This matches the behavior
of File::Spec->rel2abs.
[FIXED]
- Fixed t/00-report-prereqs.t for use with older versions of
CPAN::Meta::Requirements
0.042 2013-10-13 11:02:02 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- When 'realpath' can't be resolved (because intermediate directories
don't exist), the exception now explains the error clearly instead of
complaining about path() needing a defined, positive-length argument.
- On Windows, fixed resolution of relative paths with a volume.
E.g. "C:foo" is now correctly translated into getdcwd on "C:"
plus "foo".
0.041 2013-10-11 08:56:31 America/New_York
[FIXES]
- Removes duplicate test dependency on File::Spec that triggers
a CPAN.pm bug
0.040 2013-10-08 22:01:50 America/New_York
[FIXES]
- Fixed broken locking test on *bsd
- When using 'filehandle' to request a locked handle that truncates an
existing file and has a binmode starting with ":unix", this fixes a
bug where pseudo-layers weren't being cleared properly.
0.039 2013-10-08 16:39:23 America/New_York
[ADDITIONS]
- The 'filehandle' method now offers an option to return locked handles
based on the file mode. Input-output methods now rely on this
feature internally. Truncating file modes defer truncation until
after an exclusive lock is acquired.
[FIXES]
- The 'filehandle' method now respects default encoding set by
the caller's open pragma.
0.038 2013-10-01 18:20:05 America/New_York
[ADDITIONS]
- Added 'is_rootdir' method to simplify testing if a path is
the root directory
0.037 2013-09-25 13:00:25 America/New_York
[FIXES]
- Fixed for v5.8
0.036 2013-09-25 09:34:28 America/New_York
[PREREQS]
- No longer lists 'threads' as a prerequisite. If you have a threaded
perl, you have it and if you're not, Path::Tiny doesn't care.
0.035 2013-09-24 07:21:55 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Fixed flock warning on BSD that was broken with the autodie
removal; now also applies to all BSD flavors
0.034 2013-09-23 16:16:36 America/New_York
[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE]
- Exceptions are now Path::Tiny::Error objects, not autodie exceptions;
this removes the last dependency on autodie, which allows us to
support Perls as far back as v5.8.1
[FIXED]
- BSD/NFS flock fix was not backwards compatible before v5.14. This
fixes it harder.
[PREREQS]
- dropped autodie
- lowered ExtUtils::MakeMaker configure_requires version to 6.17
0.033 2013-09-12 08:54:30 America/New_York
[FIXED]
- Perl on BSD may not support locking on an NFS filesystem. If this is
detected, Path::Tiny warns and continues in an unsafe mode. The
'flock' warning category may be fatalized to die instead.
[DOCUMENTED]
- Added 'iterator' example showing defaults
0.032 2013-09-06 17:52:48 America/New_York
[PREREQS]
- Removed several test dependencies. Path::Tiny now only needs
core modules, though some must be upgraded on old Perls

Add support for deriving DES keys to klog.krb5
(cherry picked from commit e79102e7918ce5196e870a806879135743ec3abb)
Change-Id: Ia7ebfdd10dcfd6cd164b10275016147630748bac
commit 4b7553600a7659d117df0bde7b1c1dfde031deb8
Author: Andrew Deason <adeason@sinenomine.net>
Date: Wed Jul 10 12:52:28 2013 -0500
Reload rxkad.keytab on CellServDB modification
Make the reloading of rxkad.keytab keys occur in the same way that
KeyFile keys are reloaded. That is, we only try to reload them if the
CellServDB mtime has changed. This is intended to have exactly the
same reloading behavior as KeyFile reloads.
I would have triggered this from afsconf_Check, but that approach
has annoyances. (Calling ticket5_keytab functions directly from
cellconfig pulls in libkrb5 dependencies for everything that uses
cellconfig, and we'd have to trigger an afsconf_Check call by calling
some other cellconfig function.)

Avoid calling afsconf_GetLatestKey directly
Don't call afsconf_GetLatestKey to determine whether we can print our
own local tokens, since we may have keytab 'local' keys, but no DES
keys. Just try to construct them and see if it fails, using
afsconf_PickClientSecObj or afsconf_ClientAuth{,Secure} as
appropriate.

auth: Do not always fallback to noauth
Make afsconf_PickClientSecObj error out if we can't construct
localauth tokens (unless the caller explicitly requested rxnull
fallback). afsconf_ClientAuth{,Secure} still falls back, as always.

Clean up akimpersonate and use for server-to-server
Since a6d7cacfd, aklog has been able to print a krb5 ticket to
itself for an arbitrary client principal, allowing a user with
access to the cell's krb5 key to get tokens as an arbitrary user.
Now that it is possible to use native krb5 tickets with non-DES
enctypes for authentication, and akimpersonate is available from libauth,
use printed native krb5 tickets for server-to-server communication (as well
as the -localauth versions of the client utilities).
Remove the early call to afsconf_GetLatestKey() in
afsconf_PickClientSecObj() so that we do not end up picking an old DES
key before we try to find a better key to use.
Before doing so, refactor the akimpersonate code to be more usable
and readable, and eliminate some dead code. For example, we always printed
addressless tickets, so that code could be removed. Other code had excessive
stack usage for a library routine, which is eliminated. Use a start time
of 0 instead of 300 so that the printed ticket will always be
detected as infinite-lifetime.
In order to ensure usability on all platforms (in particular Solaris),
provide a couple more compat shims to implement routines which are not
always available from the krb5 library, in particular encode_krb5_ticket
and encode_krb5_enc_tkt_part. Thanks to Andrew Deason for implementing
these compatability routines.
UKERNEL doesn't need this stuff.

Move akimpersonate to libauth
Give it its own source file and header, install the header at
depinstall time, and have aklog get the akimpersonate functionality
from libauth.
Keep the linux box copyright from aklog_main.c (but strip the trailing
whitespace), as that block was added with the akimpersonate code.
Remove all calls to afs_com_err() as is fitting for library code,
to let it build. Do not bother removing curly braces which are
no longer needed; a future cleanup commit will catch that.

Derive DES/fcrypt session key from other key types
If a kerberos 5 ticket has a session key with a non-DES enctype,
use the NIST SP800-108 KDF in counter mode with HMAC_MD5 as the PRF to
construct a DES key to be used by rxkad.
To satisfy the requirements of the KDF, DES3 keys are first compressed into a
168 bit form by reversing the RFC3961 random-to-key algorithm

New optional rxkad functionality for decypting krb5 tokens
An additional, optional mechanism for decrypting krb5-format tokens
is provided that uses the krb5 api with a key from a keytab
instead of using libdes and the AFS KeyFile.
The AIX compat stub for krb5_c_decrypt is contributed by Andrew Deason.

Add rxkad server hook function to decrypt more types of tokens
Allow tokens to be encrypted with algorithms other than DES.
The security object owner must provide an implementation
by calling rxkad_SetAltDecryptProc.
Make sure plainsiz is initialized before calling the alternate decrypt
proc.
User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.4
All platforms
* Obey the jumbo/nojumbo settings for ubik servers (the DB servers)
too. In previous releases, those servers may have used jumbograms
even if they were not configured to do so. This change corrects
the actual behaviour, and will improve performance and reliability
for sites where jumbograms are problematic. It could cause a decrease
in performance for sites where jumbograms work, but those can turn
them back on manually.
* Dozens of fixes for common coding problems like use after free,
use of possibly uninitialised memory, reading or writing past the
end of arrays and potential NULL pointer derefences. Spotted by
code analysis tools or human inspection.
* Documentation improvements.
* Fixes and improvements to the diagnostic or log messages printed by
vos, the fileserver and others.
* Build fixes, making parallel builds more reliable with certain
configuration options and helping various platforms including
recent releases of IRIX, Solaris and several flavours of Linux.
* Avoid sending a small amount of data over the wire unencrypted
under certain conditions, and emit the correct error message in
this case.
All server platforms
* Avoid generating duplicate IDs for readonly and backup volumes,
which could happen under certain conditions.
* Allow the fileserver to return volume data like quota or free space,
which is available publicly elsewhere, without the additional access
check for read permissions on a volume's root directory the fileserver
performed before.
* The fileserver now emits a log message when it ran out of memory for
callbacks.
* Avoid several potential fileserver problems, including memory
corruption and segmentation faults, due to client bookkeeping.
* Avoid known cases of silent data corruption due to background syncs
on the fileserver, especially during Copy on Write.
* Make the fileserver sync behaviour runtime configurable. Up to 1.4.5,
we had synchronous syncs which were safe but really slow. Since 1.4.5,
we've had asynchronous syncs which are much faster but believed to
be the cause of rare data corruption issues, and while all known cases
of these happening are believed to be fixed in the 1.6.3 release, doubts
remain. This change allows choosing between those, and in addition allows
to turn syncs by the fileserver off altogether, thus relying on the vice
partition's backend filesystem and the operating system, or to just
execute them when a volume is detached. The default behaviour is
unchanged from releases since 1.4.5, but it's highly recommended to
consider the additional options this change provides. Future OpenAFS
releases will default to "-sync=none".
* For dbservers, avoid a situation where misinterpreting transient
network errors causes long-term issues with achieving ubik quorum.
All UNIX client platforms
* Improvements to the detection of an aklog-specific krb5 configuration
file, for the purposes of turning on "weak crypto" for aklog.
* Fixed a regression introduced in release 1.6.2 which caused the
supposedly persistent disk cache to be discarded upon client start.
(RT #131655)
Linux clients
* Support Linux kernels up to 3.10
* Fixed two bugs making it impossible to unmount a disk cache filesystem
after it has been used by the client. (RT #131613)
* Fixed a bug that could cause an oops with kernels 3.6 and later
OpenBSD
* Improved support for OpenBSD 4.9 to 5.3
OpenAFS 1.6.3
This release number had to be skipped for technical reasons.
