lotus v1.11.2 is a feature release that's highly recommended for ALL lotus users to upgrade, including node operators, storage providers and clients.

Highlights

  • 🌟🌟🌟 Introduce Dagstore and CARv2 for deal-making (#6671) (filecoin-project/lotus#6671)
    • lotus miner markets' Dagstore is a component of the markets subsystem in lotus-miner. It is a sharded store to hold large IPLD graphs efficiently, packaged as location-transparent attachable CAR files and it replaces the former Badger staging blockstore. It is designed to provide high efficiency and throughput, and minimize resource utilization during deal-making operations.
      The dagstore also leverages the indexing features of CARv2 to enable plan CAR files to act as read and write blockstores, which are served as the direct medium for data exchanges in markets for both storage and retrieval deal making without requiring intermediate buffers.
    • In the future, lotus will leverage and interact with Dagstore a lot for new features and improvements for deal making, therefore, it's highly recommended to lotus users to go through Lotus Miner: About the markets dagstore thoroughly to learn more about Dagstore's conceptual overview, terminology, directory structure, configuration and so on.
    • Note:
      • When you first start your lotus-miner or market subsystem with this release, a one-time/first-time dagstore migration will be triggered which replaces the former Badger staging blockstore with dagstore. We highly recommend storage providers to read this section to learn more about what the process does, what to expect and how to monitor it.
      • It is highly recommended to wait for all ongoing data transfers to finish or cancel inbound storage deals that are still transferring, using the lotus-miner data-transfers cancel command before upgrading your market nodes. The reason being that the new dagstore changes attribute in the internal deal state objects, and the paths to the staging CARs where the deal data was being placed will be lost.
      • ‼️Having your dags initialized will become important in the near future for you to provide a better storage and retrieval service. We'd suggest you start [forced bulk initialization] soon if possible as this process places relatively high IP workload on your storage system and is better to be carried out gradually and over a longer timeframe. Read how to do properly perform a force bulk initialization here.
      • ⏮ Rollback Alert(from v1.11.2(-rcX) to any version lower): If a storages deal is initiated with M1/v1.11.2(-rcX) release, it needs to get to the StorageDealAwaitingPrecommit state before you can do a version rollback or the markets process may panic.
    • 💙 Special thanks to MinerX fellows for testing and providing valuable feedbacks for Dagstore in the past month!
  • 🌟🌟 rpcenc: Support reader redirect (filecoin-project/lotus#6952)
    • This allows market processes to send piece bytes directly to workers involved on AddPiece.
  • Extending sectors: more practical and flexible tools (filecoin-project/lotus#6097)
    • lotus-miner sectors check-expire to inspect expiring sectors.
    • lotus-miner sectors renew for renewing expiring sectors, see the command help menu for customizable option
      like extension, new-expiration and so on.
  • ‼️ MpoolReplaceCmd ( lotus mpool replace`) now takes FIL for fee-limit (filecoin-project/lotus#6927)
  • Drop townhall/chainwatch (filecoin-project/lotus#6912)
    • ChainWatch is no longer supported by lotus.
  • Configurable CC Sector Expiration (filecoin-project/lotus#6803)
    • Set CommittedCapacitySectorLifetime in lotus-miner/config.toml to specify the default expiration for a new CC
      sector, value must be between 180-540 days inclusive.
