[1.34.0-rc.1] - 2026-05-28

Added

  • Toggle-disk can now be retried or aborted.
  • Added export-db API
  • Satellites report platform and OS variant and Controller exposes that on the REST API.
  • Added property "ExtCmd/WaitTimeout"
  • Added property "ExtCmd/TermTimeout"
  • Added property "ExtCmd/KillTimeout"
  • Added property "ExtCmd/IoStallTimeout"
  • Added property "ExtCmd/IoPollInterval"
  • Added "Linstor/Drbd/OutsideAddress" property for DRBD's outside-address for setups using a NAT
  • Added optional alternative suffixes for external files
  • Added status check (current path + content as expected) for external files
  • Added property "Rest/AutoHTTPs", if enabled will automatically create a SSL certificate and re-start SSL server
  • Added token authentication API and implementation, if enabled only allows Authentication Bearer token access
  • Added property "Clone/DdBlocksize" to configure the DD clone blocksize used
  • Added "BalanceResourcesSkipDiskLimit" property to skip balancing resources with more than X skipDisk resources (default 1)
  • Added property "Autoplacer/MinThinFreeSpace" that disqualifies storPools with less free space than specified
  • Added linstor-config disable-token-auth command
  • Property Clone/BalanceAfterClone to autoplace an extra diskful resource after a clone operation
  • Property Snapshot/BalanceAfterRestore to autoplace an extra diskful resource after a snapshot restore
  • Added property "Luks/AllowDiscards" to enable discard/TRIM pass-through on LUKS volumes; when LUKS sits below DRBD, rs-discard-granularity is also set automatically
  • Added "Client" as DRBD state (non-voting diskless peer)
  • Added property "TcpPortsBlocked" on node level

Changed

  • SOS report now uses export-db instead of non-JSON database dump
  • Minimum java version is now java-21, please upgrade if you want to continue building/running LINSTOR.
  • DRBD: create-md now only times out if there was no IO for 45s
  • mkfs: mkfs.ext4 and mkfs.xfs now only time out if there was no IO for 45s
  • Moved old property "ExtCmdWaitTimeout" -> "ExtCmd/WaitTimeout"
  • SOS report: 'tar' command now only times out if there was no IO for 45s
  • Don't call shred on ZFS devices as those are guaranteed to always read 0
  • Upated debian package compat version to 11
  • linstor-controller.service: switch to DynamicUser (i.e., execute as non-root user).
  • Systemd-notify: Use SDNotify library instead of calling "systemd-notify"
  • Thick LVM: New volumes are now placed on the least-used PVs by default. This behavior can be customized via the new "StorDriver/LvcreatePvSelection" property.
  • Check for valid storage pool names on resource-group select filter
  • Controller now ignores case when checking if a NetCom is enabled or not
  • Default evict timeout was increased from 1h to 12h
  • Property "TcpPortAutoRange" can now also be set on node level

Removed

  • ETCD database support is now removed, please convert to SQL or CRD DB, before upgrade
  • Removed K8s migrations older than 2023 / LINSTOR v1.21.0-rc1
  • Removed SQL migrations older than 2023 / LINSTOR v1.21.0-rc1

Fixed

  • Fixed incorrect default LUKS2 header size calculation
  • Parse errors during ctrl -> stlt authentication now result in "AUTHENTICATION_ERROR" instead of "OFFLINE" (regression introduced in 1.32.0-rc.1)
  • Fixed free space reporting of thin storage spaces (Windows) pool
  • Fixed race condition where after a reconnect storage pools might not show correct capacities and freespaces.
  • Fixed PREPARE_SHIPPING backups didn't count as active shippings
  • If a satellite cannot decrypt a LUKS key it no longer goes into FULLSYNC_FAILED, but just marks the resource to have corrupted crypt key
  • Fixed auto-rs-discard-granularity staying set on devices that don't support discards (e.g. LUKS without AllowDiscards)
  • Throw a CriticalError(restart) if a JDK spawn helper exception was caught (usually a JDK version mismatch)
  • Fixed bug where taking a snapshot on a not-only-DRBD resource could hang indefinitely
  • Attempt to fix rare bug causing "shipping in progress" that can only be cleared by restarting the controller
  • Fixed rare race condition when changing the LUKS passphrase
  • Fixed bug where trying to start a backup shipment of a rsc that isn't UpToDate lead to an AccessToDeletedDataException
