Release notes for Gluster 3.10.2

This is a bugfix release. The release notes for 3.10.0 and 3.10.1 contains a listing of all the new features that were added and bugs in the GlusterFS 3.10 stable release.

Major changes, features and limitations addressed in this release

  1. Many bugs brick multiplexing and nfs-ganesha+ha bugs have been addressed.
  2. Rebalance and remove brick operations have been disabled for sharded volumes to prevent data corruption.

Major issues

  1. Expanding a gluster volume that is sharded may cause file corruption

  2. Sharded volumes are typically used for VM images, if such volumes are expanded or possibly contracted (i.e add/remove bricks and rebalance) there are reports of VM images getting corrupted.

  3. Status of this bug can be tracked here, #1426508
