The translator, while processing a write call, +immediately returns success but continues writing the data to the server in the +background. This can cause data corruption when two clients relying on Samba to +provide data consistency are operating on the same file. + +The write-behind translator is enabled by default on GlusterFS. +The vfs_glusterfs plugin will check for the presence of the translator and +refuse to connect if detected. Please disable the write-behind translator for +the GlusterFS volume to allow the plugin to connect to the volume. + + +Changes since 4.12.9 +-------------------- + +o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org> + * BUG 14486: s3: modules: vfs_glusterfs: Fix leak of char + **lines onto mem_ctx on return. + +o Ralph Boehme <slow@samba.org> + * BUG 14471: RN: vfs_zfsacl: Only grant DELETE_CHILD if ACL tag is special. + +o Alexander Bokovoy <ab@samba.org> + * BUG 14538: smb.conf.5: Add clarification how configuration changes + reflected by Samba. + +o Günther Deschner <gd@samba.org> + * BUG 14486: s3-vfs_glusterfs: Refuse connection when write-behind xlator is + present. + * winexe:: Add configure option to control whether to build it + (default: auto). + +o Amitay Isaacs <amitay@gmail.com> + * BUG 14487: Latest version of Bind9 is now 9.20. + * BUG 14537: ctdb-common: Avoid aliasing errors during code optimization. + +o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org> + * BUG 14531: s4:dsdb:acl_read: Implement "List Object" mode feature. + +o Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com> + * BUG 14486: docs-xml/manpages: Add warning about write-behind translator for + vfs_glusterfs. + +o Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> + * nsswitch/nsstest.c: Avoid nss function conflicts with glibc nss.h. + +o Martin Schwenke <martin@meltin.net> + * BUG 14513: ctdb disable/enable can still fail due to race condition. + +o Andrew Walker <awalker@ixsystems.com> + * BUG 14471: RN: vfs_zfsacl: Only grant DELETE_CHILD if ACL tag is special. + + +####################################### +Reporting bugs & Development Discussion +####################################### + +Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by +joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. + +If you do report problems then please try to send high quality +feedback.
