Release Announcements

Hi!

After some delay here is the first release candidate of the next minor Linstor release.
The big new feature in this release is the possibility to ship already existing snapshots to other Linstor clusters or a S3 remote.
Also the Linstor master passphrase can now be provided more securely with systemd-creds.

Another noteworthy change is that the LS_KEEP_RES is now obsolete as Linstor doesn’t delete known .res files anymore and keeps them.

See the changelog below for all other changes and fixes.

NOTE

With this release we also announce that we will remove etcd database support with Linstor 1.34.0, until then you will have time to migrate to (SQL or k8s-CRD) databases.

[1.33.0-rc.1] - 2025-11-11

Added

  • physical-storage-api: allow passing pv/vg/lv/zpool create arguments
  • Encryption: Added systemd-creds support for masterpassphrase.
  • DRBD: Added Linstor/Drbd/auto-block-size
  • Backup: allow shipment of already existing snapshots
  • Node,evacuate: Added --target and --do-not-target options

Changed

  • Removed keep_res regular expression pattern from options
  • Instead of caching if a DRBD .res file exists, actually check if the file exists
  • Do not delete known Linstor drbd res files, LS_KEEP_RES is now obsolete
  • Increase max packet size 16M → 64M
  • Increased timeout for tar during sos-report to an hour
  • Removed flywaydb dependency and do migrations (as with other "db"s) ourselves
  • ReconnectorTask: changed logging levels and added more logging
  • API: do not store error reports if required remote parameters are missing
  • Node evacuate: By default node evacuate also evacuates existing snapshots

Fixed

  • Attempt to fix race-condition “Received unknown storage resource from satellite”
  • Prometheus: fix using peerId as peer address in api call duration statistics (GitHub #466)
  • H2 db should no longer prematurely shutdown
  • DRBD: recreate ext-metadata after backing disk needed to be re-created
  • Fixed a bug where a failed clone leads to AccessToDeletedData bug
  • Cache: Properly flush to origin device when suspending
  • Fixed toggle-disk bug when evacuation target has already diskless resource
  • Fixed possible NPE when a satellite updates a storage pool (capacity, supports snapshots, etc)
