Vitastor 0.8.6 released

2023-02-28

Important fixes:

  • Fix possibly incorrect EC parity chunk updates with EC n+k, k > 1 and when the first parity chunk is missing

Minor fixes and improvements:

  • Fix incorrect EC free space statistics in vitastor-cli df output
  • Speedup vitastor-cli startup in clusters with RDMA
  • Remove unused PG “peered” state (previously used to update PG epoch)
  • Use sfdisk with just --json in vitastor-disk (–dump --json isn’t needed)
  • Allow trailing comma in sfdisk output (fixes sfdisk 2.36 compatibility)
  • Slightly improve RDMA send/receive code
  • Reduce RDMA memory consumption by default (rdma_max_recv/send = 16/8)
  • Use vitastor-cli instead of direct etcd interaction in the CSI driver
