Dear Users,

3.13-rc3 (release candidate) is officially out!

What's new

Updated packaging for current releases of popular distributions:

• Debian 10.4
• Ubuntu 20.04
• CentOS 8

Known issues by severity

grave

• upgrading from 3.12 to 3.13 can potentially lose EC chunks

major

• seekdir/telldir does not work properly, especially seekdir with negative offsets
• chunk replicated onto a drive that fails during a write operation can end up in limbo state (undergoal) until chunkserver is restarted

minor

• uRaft package is not integrated yet (not ready for use)
• Ganesha has not been tested yet
• chunk rebalancing behavior is flaky (is some scenarios it takes more time than it should)

Future plans

LizardFS team plans for two more rc versions before an actual 3.13 release:

• rc4 - fix all known grave and major issues
• rc5 - integration of uRaft and Ganesha
