Bug Fixes

  • Fixes an warning seen when running in a container using overlayfs.

  • Bug #2067949: Fixed issue where we try to write into a multipath device and fail since it is not ready for I/O. Now we wait until the I/O is likely to succeed. We introduced 2 new config options to make the wait time configurable:

    • wait_mpath_device_attempts

    • wait_mpath_device_interval

    These options defaults to 4 attempts and 1 second interval respectively. See help text of the config options for more information.

    • LV activation support (2.02.91)

    • Thin provisioning (2.02.95)

    • –ignoreactivationskip (2.02.99)

    • lvcreate -l 100%FREE (2.02.115)

    Now the minimum supported LVM version is 2.02.115 which was released in 2015.

Deprecation Notes

  • Support for Windows operating systems has been deprecated, because of retirement of the Winstackers project.

Bug Fixes

  • PowerFlex driver bug #2004630: Fixed regression which caused the PowerFlex (ScaleIO) connector to login multiple times, even with an existing valid token. The ScaleIO connector now caches and reuses the token.

  • FC connector bug #2051237: Fix issue with fibre channel connector scanning partial targets. We search for target information in sysfs, first in fc_transport and then in fc_report_ports.
