Hi,
Another release coming. This time, it includes important fixes for
large, dynamic LINSTOR clusters. Linstor 1.33.2 already contains fixes
for most cases, but for disaggregated setups with diskless primary
nodes, this DRBD update is also necessary.
The bugs affect resources that got a replica added later, after creation
time. It only affects thinly-provisioned volumes, and only if they never
had a write request with a node absent and fully utilized peer
slots.
So, usually only a small percentage of all resources are
affected. Unfortunately, the affected resources show UpToDate/UpToDate,
but the younger replica misses some blocks.
Now we have tests for all those scenarios.
As these fixes are important for such larger LINSTOR installations, I
start this release cycle about two weeks earlier than usual.
And yes, due to a build issue we noticed late, it is rc.2 of 9.2.18,
while 9.3.2 is rc.1.
At the moment, this is a release candidate.
9.3.2-rc.1 (api:genl2/proto:86-101,118-124/transport:21)
