Notable changes:
-
URL parsing of I/O resources is now conforming to standards. Especially for the RBD I/O module the two slashes directly after the colon are no longer valid and have to be removed (
rbd://pool/image->rbd:pool/image). -
Added I/O module for iSCSI. It is based on
libiscsiand requires no elevated permissions. Please see the documentation as Benji requires a special version of thelibiscsiPython bindings. The module is single-threaded and synchronous, so performance will be limited. Contributions are welcome! -
The algorithm used by
benji enforcehas seen an overhaul and should be more comprehensible as the time categories are based on natural time boundaries (start of the hour, day, week, month, and year) now. -
Added a restore helper script (
images/benji-k8s/scripts/benji-restore-pvc) for Kubernetes. This script is intended to be run on a management system with access to the Kubernetes cluster and can restore a version into a new or an existing PVC/PV pair. -
The container images are now based on the Python 3.6 included in EPEL. The RBD support has been updated to Ceph Nautilus. Nautilus also added RADOS and RBD Python bindings for Python 3.6 which are now used instead of building them ourself.
