StorNext 3. 5. 1 Release Notes 6-00431-24 Rev B July 2010 Purpose of this Release StorNext 3. 5. 1 is a maintenance release that improves behind-the-scenes performance and corrects issues identified in previous releases. This document lists issues that were resolved for this release, currently known issues, and known operating limitations. [. . . ] Corrected a condition in which running cvfsck did not fix corruption as adequately as the 3. 1. 2 version. Dump_rj was modified to collect information about a specific inode or a range of lsn entries. Added the ability to place orphaned inodes into a specified directory inode. Added Quality of Service (QOS) support for Distributed LAN clients and servers. Addressed an FSM panic that occurred because trans_write: space reservation was too small for type 6. Addressed a condition in which data corruption sometimes occurred when bringing UP a DOWN stripe group. Corrected a condition which caused metadata dumps to fail on systems with multiple metadata stripe groups. Corrected a condition in which running an external API (ExtApiGetSgInfo) returned a static stripe group status instead of a dynamic stripe group status. Corrected a condition in which performing a metadata dump caused problems for directories in multi metadata stripe groups. Corrected a condition in which metadata on a file system with multiple stripe groups could not be correctly restored. Corrected a system panic caused by multiple clients accessing a file at the same time. Resolved a metadata dump failure that occurred during the initial optimization phase. 27484 27772 985224 968024 27862 871834, 877874 996254 27932 27964 n/a 27967, 27943 27982 n/a n/a Resolved Issues 21 StorNext 3. 5. 1 Release Notes 6-00431-24 Rev B July 2010 StorNext Storage Manager Resolved Issues Table 7 lists resolved issues that are specific to StorNext Storage Manager.
