-OpenAFS News -- history of user-visible changes. September 25, 2002.
+ User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.3
+OpenAFS 1.6.2.1
-** When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse
- a fully-populated /afs directory. However, this precludes reliable
- use of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
- directory in the root of the volume).
+ Linux clients
-** Mountpoint directory information can be faked by the cache manager,
- making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
- This is enabled by passing -fakestat to afsd, but might not be stable
- on all platforms.
+ * Support Linux kernels up to 3.8.
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.7
+ * Make the init script cope with the output of ifconfig on recent Fedora.
-** MacOS X 10.2 is now supported. FreeBSD 4.3 and later support is included
- in this release, but is still under active development and should only
- be used by those doing active development on the OpenAFS FreeBSD client.
+OpenAFS 1.6.2
-** When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse
- a fully-populated /afs directory. However, this precludes reliable
- use of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
- directory in the root of the volume).
+ All platforms
-** The fileserver will now use Rx pings to determine if clients are reachable
- prior to allocating resources to them, to prevent asymmetric clients from
- consuming all fileserver resources.
+ * Fix buffer overflows in fileserver and ptserver.
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.6
+ * Abort an rx connection when given an unknown service (Gerrit 7593).
-** Mountpoint directory information can be faked by the cache manager,
- making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
- This is enabled by passing -fakestat to afsd.
+ * "idle dead" behavior improvements.
-** Solaris 9 FCS and Solaris 7 and 8 x86 are now supported.
+ * Documentation updates.
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.5
+ All server platforms
-** A remote denial of service attack in the AIX and IRIX clients has
- been fixed. Users of those platforms are strongly encouraged to
- upgrade.
+ * Fix rare file corruption during background sync (Gerrit 8796).
-** Fixed race conditions in fileserver that could result in crash.
+ * Fix corrupting clients' metadata cache during certain errors (Gerrit
+ 6957).
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.4
+ * Avoid saying a volume doesn't exist when accessed as the volume is
+ going offline (Gerrit 7488).
-** Server logfiles now more consistant about format in which hosts are
- referred to.
+ * Fix fileservers to properly report >2 TiB partitions.
-** vfsck on Solaris will now allow force runs (using -y flag) even if old
- inodes exist.
+ * Fix stale volume info from vos examine on non-DAFS filservers.
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.3
+ * Fix possible volume corruption with vos convertROtoRW.
-** Cell aliases for dynroot can be specified in the CellAlias file in
- /usr/vice/etc or /usr/local/etc/openafs, in format "realname alias",
- one per line. They can also be managed at runtime with "fs newalias"
- and "fs listaliases".
+ * Fix bosserver to preserve all command-line options over restart.
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.2
+ * Fix bosserver to properly kill hung processes during shutdown.
-** Solaris 9 and Linux PA-RISC are now supported
+ All UNIX client platforms
-** fileserver will not erroneously delay legitimate errors for 3 seconds
- after 10 errors are returned (e.g. stat() on a directory you can't read)
+ * Fixes for memcache, especially on Solaris.
-** Rx MTU calculation now works for Irix, Solaris and Linux
+ * Increase the size of the DNS resolver answer buffer to allow sites
+ with a long response list to use SRV and AFSDB records.
-** If afsd is started with the -dynroot flag, /afs will be locally
- generated from the CellServDB. AFSDB cells will be mounted
- automatically upon access.
+ * Fix a crash when a server appears to run out of addresses (Gerrit
+ 7487).
-** The namei fileserver allows vice "partitions" to be directories instead
- of partitions and will attach and display accordingly. Creating the file
- "AlwaysAttach" in the /vicepX directory is used as the trigger to attach it.
+ * Fix cache corruption when reading from a file another client is
+ simultaneously writing to (Gerrit 7994).
-** TSM support for butc no longer requires editing a Makefile, simply
- specify the --enable-tivoli-tsm configure option.
+ * Improve handling of disk cache disk errors.
-** Linux builds no longer require source changes every time the kernel
- inode structure changes; the OpenAFS sources will now configure
- itself to the actual inode structure as defined in the kernel
- sources.
+ Linux
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.1
+ * fix DKMS configuration for DKMS 2.2.
-** vfsck on Digital UNIX and Solaris will now refuse to fsck mounted
- mounted partitions.
+ * Avoid generating inode number 0 with md5 inodes (Gerrit 7276).
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.2.0
+ * Fix a crash when reading /proc/fs/openafs/unixusers (Gerrit 7914).
-** AFS now supports --prefix and the other directory options of
- configure. By default AFS builds assuming it will be installed in
- /usr/local. In order to get traditional AFS directory paths (/usr/afs
- and /usr/vice/etc) use the --enable-transarc-paths option to
- configure. More details on the new directory layout are found in README.
+ * Make PAG-less access use the real UID of the calling process
+ instead of the effective UID, when determining what credentials to
+ use (Gerrit 7931).
-* Changes incorporated in OpenAFS 1.1.1a
-
-** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Consistent versioning
- Installation, AFS Control Center, Client dialog boxes and properties
- pages for executables display a consistent OpenAFS version number.
- Installation detects previous installation and prompts the user for upgrade
- options.
-
-** Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Installation features
- During installation the user can select the source of the CellservDB file,
- AFS home cell, and drive mappings. During installation a drive path
- mapping can include a variable that will be substituted with the current
- UserName that is logged in.
-
-** Windows 2000/NT - Integrated logon
- The Integrated Logon feature works now.
-
-** Windows 95/98/ME - Logon script features
- The Windows 95/98/ME client now offers a command-line option for starting up
- the AFS client without authenication. It is now possilbe to start the AFS
- client first and obtain tokens, and map drives all through Windows scripts.
- This helps using Windows 95/98/ME client in Kerberos 5 environment.
-
-** Windows 2000/NT - LANA numbers
- AFS client now scans the LANA numbers to establish the correct NETBIOS
- connection. NetBEUI is no longer needed. The user no longer needs to find
- the correct LANA number.
-
-** Windows 2000/NT - OpenAFS naming consistancy
- Further progress has been made to remove references to "Transarc AFS"
- and replace with "OpenAFS".
-
-
-
-* Changes since OpenAFS 1.0
-
-** AFS now builds with configure. The README for building has been
- updated and includes full details.
-
-** A client system can now have multiple sysname values for @sys.
- They will be searched in order when looking up files in AFS. The
- -newsysname argument to fs sysname can be repeated to set multiple
- sysnames.
-
-** A new system group is created for new cells (system:ptsviewers
- with id -203). If this group exists, members of this group can
- examine and read the entire protection database. They can examine
- all users and groups and can get the membership of any group.
-
-** A new program, pt_util has been added to the distribution. This
- program allows users to print the contents of the protection
- database or to edit the protection database without running a
- ptserver. It can be used to set up a new cell without ever running
- in noauth mode. Run pt_util -h for help.
-
-** The fs setcrypt and fs getcrypt commands have been added. These
- commands allow the system administrator to require that the client
- encrypt all authenticated traffic between the client workstation
- and AFS. The encryption used is weak, but is likely better than
- sending unencrypted traffic in most environments. Some functions,
- such as looking for a volume may not be encrypted, but data
- transfer certainly is. By default data is not encrypted. At this
- time no significant experimentation with server performance has
- been conducted.
-
-** By default AFS is compiled with AFS_AFSDB_ENV, enabling the -afsdb
- option to be given to afsd on startup. If this option is used, then new
- cells will be looked up using AFSDB records stored in DNS if they
- are not found in CellServDB. This means that users can create
- cross-cell mountpoints in directories they control to access cells
- not in root.afs, and that cells in root.afs need not be in the
- client's CellServDB.
-
-** AFS database servers can be marked as read-only clones. Surround
- the hostname in square brackets on the bos addhost command and the
- database server will never be elected sync site. This is useful
- for cells distributed over a wide region.
-
-** The AFS servers now support the -syslog flag. This flag causes
- them to log to syslog rather than to files. This flag is not
- supported on NT. For all servers besides the salvager, the flag can
- also be specified as -syslog=facility, where facility is an integer
- facility code from syslog.h. A -syslogfacility option is provided for
- the salvager to accomplish the same goal.
-
-** If the --enable-fast-restart flag is given when configuring AFS,
- then the salvager supports the -dontsalvage flag which causes it to
- exit without salvaging any volumes. If this is configured into the
- third command of a fs process, then the fileserver will start without
- salvaging. It will fail to attach volumes that need salvaging and they
- can be salvaged manually. This provides significantly better server
- startup performance at the cost of administrative complexity.
-
-** If the --enable-bitmap-later flag is given when configuring AFS,
- then the fileserver creates bitmaps for free vnodes on demand, allowing
- faster starts.
-
-** If bosserver finds a BosConfig.new file at startup, it reads this
- file and renames it to BosConfig. This allows bosserver to be
- reconfigured at next restart.
-
-** The bosserver can be placed in a restricted mode in
- which AFS superusers are only granted limited access to the server
- host. The following functionality is disabled when restricted mode is in
- use:
-
- bos exec
- bos getlog (except for files with no '/'s in their name)*
- bos create *
- bos delete
- bos install
- bos uninstall
-
- specific exceptions are made for functionality that "bos salvage"
- uses:
-
- a cron bnode who's name is "salvage-tmp", time is now, and command
- begins with "/usr/afs/bin/salvager" may be created. This bnode
- deletes itself when complete, so no special "delete" support is needed.
- This functionality may be removed in the future if a "Salvage" RPC is
+ * Fix possible abuse of fs mkmount.
+ Prior to 1.6.2, users could crash a client by nesting volume mounts.
+
+ * Fix fileserver memory corruption on RHEL 6
+ Prior to 1.6.2, fileservers on RHEL 6 may crash under heavy load.
+
+ * Fix client page cache corruption on Linux
+ When multiple clients read and write to a file, the reading client
+ may see first page (4096 bytes) of a file as nulls.
+
+ * Support Linux kernels up to 3.7.
+
+ * Support newer glibc versions.
+
+ * Improve client systemd unit file.
+
+ * Update Red Hat packaging.

+ * Support compiling on newer versions of Solaris 11 and Solaris 10.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.6.0 (2011-08-15)
+
+ All platforms
+
+ * Substantial Rx updates to correct erroneous behavior.
+
+ * vos now properly deals with matching sites when servers are
+ multihomed.
+
+ * Don't stop Rx keepalives after an ackall is received, avoiding

+ Rx busy call channel error handling. (128671)
+
+ * Properly enable Rx connection hard timeouts.
+
+ * Rx NAT pings are not enabled until peer has answered.
+

+
+ * pt_util fixed to properly create new databases.
+
+ * MTU discovery now properly shut down on call reset.
+
+ * Avoid leaking references to hosts during callback break multi-Rx
+ operations. (129376)
+
+ * xstat tools now cope with differing timeval structures between
+ endpoints.
+
+ * Numerous fixes to command argument parsing.
+
+ * Documentation updates.
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * A file descriptor leak which could result in corrupted files in the
+ fileserver was fixed. An IMMEDIATE upgrade from previous 1.5 release
+ fileservers is recommended.
+
+ * Fix ptserver supergroups support on 64 bit platforms.
+
+ * Demand attach salvaging doesn't use freed volume pointers.
+
+ * Properly hold host lock during host enumeration in fileserver.
+
+ * Attempt to recovery more quickly from timed out volume release
+ transactions.
+
+ * Auditing now properly byte order swaps IP addresses when printing.
+
+ * vos split now has improved error handling.
+
+ * Many changes to again support Windows fileservers.
+
+ * During volume removal, data removal speed improved.
+
+ * Improve CPU utilization during volume attaching by DAFS.
+
+ * In salvager check-only mode, avoid potentially fixing a vnode.
+
+ * Fix support for large (greater than 2gb) volume special files.
+
+ * Salvager will not crash if multiple or bad volume link tables are
+ encountered.
+
+ * Avoid erroneous full dump by remembering which sites were out of
+ date at the start of the release.
+
+ * A deleted volume can now be recreated properly.
+
+ * Callbacks are again not broken during whole partition salvages.
+
+ * Positional vectored IO fixed for largefile (>2GB) capable systems.
+
+ * Fileserver per-client thread usage again properly enforced.
+
+ * Anonymous dropbox support improved and drawbacks documented.
+
+ * Demand attach: ensure vnodes are not reallocated while in use due to
+ volume bitmap errors.
+
+ * Properly support large volume numbers (larger than 2147483647).
+
+ * Allow salvager to be run manually again when DAFS is being
+ used. (129458)
+
+ * Avoid leaking references to hosts during callback break multi-Rx
+ operations. (129376)
+
+ * Demand attach: unlink fileserver state file on standalone salvage.
+
+ * Salvager tries harder to detect linktable issues.
+
+ * Demand attach: don't attach volumes with special status set.
+
+ * Avoid crashing on host table exhaustion. Instead, defer clients.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * afs_config will not longer set the Tray Icon State in the registry
+ if the checkbox is not present in the dialog. (128591)
+
+ * AFS Explorer Shell Extension now works from folder backgrounds.
+ Overlays for mount points and symlinks are present in the dll, but
+ are not registered at present by the installers.
+
+ * Do not use RankServerInterval registry value as the value for
+ PerformanceTuningInterval.
+
+ * When the data version of a mountpoint or symlink changes, the target
+ string in the cm_scache_t object must be cleared.
+
+ * "fs checkservers" now includes vldb servers in the output and only
+ lists multi-homed servers once. A multi-homed server that has at
+ least one up interface is no longer considered to be down.
+
+ * When asynchronously storing dirty data buffers to the file server
+ ensure that (a) the cm_scache_t object and the cm_buf_t object are
+ for the same File ID so that locking and signalling work properly;
+ and (b) if the FID no longer exists on the file server, do not
+ panic, just discard the buffer.
+
+ * When processing VNOVOL, VMOVED and VOFFLINE errors perform server
+ comparisons by UUID or address and not simply by cm_server_t
+ pointer. Otherwise, server failover may not succeed.
+
+ * Do not preserve status information for cm_scache_t objects when the
+ issuing server is multi-homed.
+
+ * Giving up all callbacks when shutting down or suspending the machine
+ is now significantly faster due to the use of an rx_multi
+ implementation. (This functionality is still off by default and
+ must be activated by a registry value.)
+
+ * Race conditions were possible when updating the state of the
+ cm_volume_t flags and when moving the volumes within the least
+ recently used list.
+
+ * Ensure that the lanahelper library does not perform a NCBRESET of
+ each lan adapter when enumerating the current network bindings.
+ Correcting this permits OpenAFS to work on Windows 7 when the
+ network adapter settings change.
+
+ * Fix creation of mount points and symlinks as \\AFS\xxxx
+
+ * Icon tray state now conditionally set. (128591)
+
+ * Properly create new cell mount points in freelance mode.
+
+ * Avoid recursive offline volume checks.
+
+ * Fix caching of non-existent volumes. The test to trigger an
+ immediate CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME in cm_UpdateVolumeLocation() was
+ backwards.
+
+ * Prevent the background daemon from checking the status of
+ non-existent volumes. cm_CheckOfflineVolumes() should skip volume
+ groups with the CM_VOLUMEFLAG_NOEXIST flag set.
+
+ * The afskfw library should return an error immediately if the
+ krb5_32.dll library cannot be loaded. Affects afslogon.dll and
+ afscreds.exe.
+
+ * No longer depend on leashw32.dll in afskfw library.
+
+ * NPLogonNotify must provide the user password in all calls to
+ KFW_AFS_get_cred(). It cannot count on a credential cache being
+ preserved between calls. Permits tokens to be acquired for all
+ cells listed in the TheseCells registry value for a domain.
+
+ * Improve the trace logging from NPLogonNotify().
+
+ * Avoid a race when writing the cm_scache_t mountPointString
+ when acquiring mount point or symlink target data via
+ cm_GetData(). The race could result in bogus target
+ data being cached.
+
+ * Permit the use of des-cbc-md5 and des-cbc-md4 enctypes
+ as DES keys in asetkey.exe.
+
+ * aklog supports dotted Kerberos v5 principal names.
+
+ * afskfw library always attempts afs/cell@USER-REALM
+
+ * afskfw library must test return code from krb5_cc_start_seq_get() or
+ will trigger a null pointer exception when using Heimdal.
+
+ * Lock protected fields must be 32-bit in order to avoid memory
+ overwrite races.
+
+ * Add support for NTFS symlinks.
+
+ * Handle file search requests for virtual syscall ioctl file.
+
+ * Process SyncOps properly to enforce ordered operations.
+
+ * Avoid recursing during NewServer operations.
+
+ * Correct lock acquisition order during SMB locking.
+
+ * Add shutdown message to event log.
+
+ * Check offline volume status by policy rather than on each daemon
+ thread run.
+
+ * Return error on directory object not found instead of crashing.
+
+ * Improve error message output.
+
+ * afslogin.dll can start afsd_service if it's not starting or started.
+
+ * Optimize away release lock RPCs for deleted files.
+
+ * Background Daemon will not perform operations on deleted files.
+
+ * Resort recently used directories to the top of the LRU if the
+ directory is larger than the stat cache.
+
+ * Resort deleted objects to the bottom of the LRU.
+
+ * Use interlocked operations for state and queue fields to allow safe
+ bit set and clear on multiprocessor systems.
+
+ All UNIX client platforms
+
+ * Servers now marked down when GetCapabilities returns error.
+
+ * In-use vcache count is now properly tracked.
+
+ * Check for /afs existance before starting, unless -nomount is
+ specified.
+
+ * Avoid a potential panic when using /afs/.:mount syntax.
+
+ * Avoid a panic in memcache mode due to missing CellItems file.
+
+ * FUSE client support fixed for non-/afs mounts.
+
+ * Avoid a potential deadlock (which times out) when we need to
+ allocate more callback returns and must flush some already in use.
+
+ * Deal with libcom_err conflicts with other packages using it
+ (e.g. krb5) (128640)
+
+ * Fall back to afs3-vlserver SRV record values when afs3-ptserver SRV
+ record is not available.
+
+ * Avoid holding unneeded locks when probing server capabilties.
+
+ * Do not attempt page flushes for directories.
+
+ * Rx connection reference counting is enabled.
+
+ * An Rx connection reference count leak is fixed in bulkstat.
+
+ * Handle unparsable directory objects.
+
+ * Handle Kerberos cred cache errors in aklog.
+
+ AIX
+
+ * Fix PAG usage to track by PAG identifier, not group list.
+
+ FreeBSD
+
+ * Fix socket termination on shutdown.
+
+ * Support for 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.2 included.

+OpenAFS 1.5.64 (2009-09-22)
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * The demand attach fileserver now puts back volume references gotten
+ via the fssync interface.
+
+ * The demand attach fileserver had a structure reference error, which
+ has been correected.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * Restores Windows 2000 compatibility.
+
+ * Fixes a data consistency error between the output of NetWkstaGetInfo
+ and NetServerGetInfo RPCs, specify the Lan workstation group name
+ "AFS", and report server name as "AFS" instead of "\\AFS" when the
+ caller asks for "\\AFS".
+
+ * Enables executables to be run from \\AFS on Windows 7. Returns
+ "Name not found" instead of "File not found" when a directory or
+ file name cannot be found. This avoids loader errors when system
+ dlls cannot be located in the executable directory.
+
+ * Prevents cache manager from marking the file server "down" when the
+ data returned in response to either RXAFS_FetchData64 or
+ RXAFS_StoreData64 is invalid.
+
+ * Adds pioctl data validation to the AFS Explorer Shell extension.
+
+ All UNIX client platforms
+
+ * A bug which could cause a kernel panic in 1.5.63 has been corrected.
+ This would manifest as a GetDCache panic or oops.
+
+ Linux
+
+ * aklog -setpag works again with recent kernels when keyring is in
+ use.
+
+ MacOS
+
+ * When Fast User Switch is in use, AFS login is now handled correctly
+ by the integration tool included with the preferences pane.
+
+ * Several packaging bugs have been corrected.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.63 (2009-09-11)
+
+ All platforms
+
+ * The restorevol command is now documented and installed as a user
+ command.
+
+ * The uss command now properly translates vldb entries to its expected
+ format when handling them in all cases.
+
+ * Documentation now refers to Kerberos instead of kaserver.
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * bosserver now handles BosConfig.new when restarting, allowing
+ configuration to be replaced at restart time rather than with bos
+ delete and bos create. Documentation is updated to reflect this.
+
+ * The demand attach fileservice not longer potentially hangs trying to
+ terminate demand-salvages which have already exited.
+
+ * The demand attach fileservice has been modified to avoid spurious
+ 'SYNC_putRes: write failed' warnings when some protocol messages
+ cannot be acknowledged due to the sender terminating the connection.
+
+ * In the event of failure to contact the vlserver or ptserver, the
+ fileserver will not exit and trigger a forced salvage. It will
+ continue to try in the background to contact the needed services.
+
+ * The salvager can now repair certain cases of a damamged vnode index.
+
+ * The accessDate metadata for a volume is now updated correctly.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * CRITICAL: Some applications for example those based on Cygwin were
+ unable to access data stored in the AFS name space. Explorer Shell
+ also experienced inconsistent behavior. This is fixed.
+
+ * CRITICAL: Multiple AFS pioctl requests issued nearly simultaneously
+ by applications could result in pioctl responses being received by
+ the wrong requester. This in turn could result in application
+ crashes. symlink.exe, fs.exe, afslogon.dll, afscreds.exe, and the
+ netidmgr afscred.dll plugin were all affected.
+
+ * Some XP machines running 1.5.62 had trouble saving roaming profile
+ data. This is fixed.
+
+ * Integrated Logon (afslogon.dll) did not function with domain
+ specific configurations.
+
+ * Ensure that access denied and over quota errors experienced while

+ addressed.
+
+ * The panic decoder script included in the source now properly handles

+
+ * Numerous invisible changes to improve code maintainability,
+ portability and enhanceability.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * CRITICAL: Fixes two errors that can result in data loss when storing
+ data to the file server.
+ 1. Failure to Store Portions of Unaligned Writes
+ 2. Failure to Store Data to File Servers Lacking Large File Support
+ Read the announcement for more details:
+ http://www.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-announce/2009/000305.html
+
+ * CRITICAL: The cache manager daemon thread could terminate when the
+ machine enters suspend mode. This daemon thread performs the
+ background check of down servers, offline volumes, callback
+ expirations, etc.
+
+ * CRITICAL: Integrated Logon (afslogon.dll) was terminating
+ unexpectedly. Error checking has been improved and NULL pointer
+ dereferences after Lsa API calls fail have been eliminated.
+
+ * For the first time, the OpenAFS SMB Server supports the DCE RPC
+ services SRVSVC and WKSSVC. Browsing \\AFS with the Explorer Shell
+ or NET VIEW will now be faster and provide additional functionality.
+ No longer will cell names longer than 12 characters be truncated.
+
+ * Improvements to DFS Referral request processing have been

+ * Installer now permits cell names with dashes.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.61 (2009-08-06)
+
+ All platforms
+
+ * Correct another race condition in the Rx library that could result
+ in an unexpected panic while freeing the Rx call iovq.
+
+ * rx packet resend and data packets sent counts were incorrect.
+
+ * fs setquota, fs setcachesize, vos setfields, and vos create now
+ accept human readable orders of magnitude. (K, M, G)
+
+ * fs listquota fixed to permit large quota sizes to be displayed.
+
+ * Correct documentation of bosserver permissions requirements.
+
+ * Modify vlserver to avoid potentially corrupting the database through
+ volume id reuse.
+
+ * Generalized support for fast Rx timeout due to network
+ down/unreachable.
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * Allow audit logs to be sent via sys5 IPC message queues instead of
+ logged directly.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * If a file server becomes inaccessible while the cache manager has
+ dirty buffers to write, the afsd_service buf_IncrSync thread can
+ attempt to use 100% of the cpu.
+
+ * Fix "fs newcell" which was broken in 1.5.60.
+
+ * Do not attempt to synchronize dirty buffers if the associated volume
+ is known to be unavailable.
+
+ * Modify behavior of a Freelance mountpoint target that does not
+ specify a cell. Instead of assuming the target volume is in the
+ Freelance.Local cell, use the workstation "Cell" specified in the
+ registry. A mountpoint target of "#root.cell." will now mean the
+ root.cell volume in the workstation cell for the current session.
+ If the workstation cell changes from "athena.mit.edu" to
+ "andrew.cmu.edu", the referenced volume will also change without
+ requiring that the mount point targets be altered.
+
+ * Add cm_FindServerByUuid(). Re-implement RXAFS_InitCallBackState3()
+ to permit the server Uuid to be used to lookup the server object and
+ from that determine the cell. This permits callbacks that are
+ received from alternate addresses to be processed with a known
+ server object. Previously a request from an unknown server would
+ clear all callbacks from all cells.
+
+ * Fix a bug that prevented optimal performance when using a non-zero
+ value for 'daemonCheckVolCBInterval'. As a reminder, when
+ "daemonCheckVolCBInterval" is set to a non-zero value, all .readonly
+ volume callbacks are automatically renewed 90 minutes before their
+ expiration.
+
+ * Fix automatic ranking of vldb servers whose values are obtained from
+ the CellServDB file.
+
+ * Add failover for RX CALL TIMEOUT errors when the volume is readonly
+ or the call is to a vldb server.
+
+ * Add registry based cell search functionality to NetIdMgr,
+ afs_config.exe, and klog.exe.
+
+ * afsconf_GetCellInfo() has been modified to perform gethostbyname()
+ lookups on the host names in the CellServDB instead of using the
+ specified IP addresses. This provides aklog, pts, vos, etc. the
+ same CellServDB behavior that the Windows Cache Manager uses.
+
+ * When updating the stat cache entry callback of a .readonly object
+ from the volume group object, update the file server reference to
+ ensure it matches the most update to date callback.
+
+ * Add proper support for processing callbacks from multi-homed file
+ servers. Instead of comparing servers by cm_server_t pointer,
+ compare them by UUID when the UUID is known.
+
+ * During a shutdown short circuit the offline volume check daemon
+ functionality.
+
+ * Return the error code of RXAFS_FetchData / RXAFS_StoreData in
+ preference to an error code reported by rx_EndCall.
+
+ * Add "PerFileAccessCheck" registry value to permit testing against
+ experimental file servers that include per-file acl support. This
+ value is intentionally undocumented. It is not to be used by
+ production environment deployments.
+
+ * Fix a bug introduced in 1.5.60 that prevents the afs netidmgr
+ provider from obtaining tokens when referrals are in play.
+
+ * Add "fs chown" and "fs chgrp" commands to permit the owner and group
+ of objects stored in AFS to be set from Windows.
+
+ * Avoid performing background daemon operations when the machine is
+ going into suspend mode.
+
+ * Perform offline volume checks in most recently used order.
+
+ * Prevent crash when a data version for a cache object goes backwards.
+
+ * Multi-thread safe library versions are now being generated and used.
+ mtafsubik.lib, mtafsutil.lib, mtafsvldb.lib, mtafsvol.lib.
+
+ * Microsoft SMB Redirector (mrxsmb.sys) support for
+ ExtendedSessTimeout values are now available on XP through Windows
+ 7. Add functionality to autodetect if such support is present on
+ the machine. If so, configure it if necessary and dynamically
+ adjust the AFS Rx timeout values accordingly.
+
+ All UNIX client platforms
+
+ * Fix out-of-tree source builds.
+
+ MacOS
+
+ * GUI installer now asks for local cell information.
+
+ * AFS Commander preferences pane is now installed by default.
+
+ Solaris
+
+ * Avoid kernel panics due to null pointer dereferences in the network
+ interface poller kernel thread.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.60 (2009-05-31)
+
+ All platforms
+
+ * Retry volserver transaction creation on failure.
+
+ * Allow building HTML and PDF documentation from included XML copies
+ of User Guide, Admin Guide and Quick Start Guide for Unix.
+
+ * Documentation updates and additional documentation.

+ * Add -encrypt support to pts client.
+
+ * Convert MR-AFS fs commands to OSD commands.
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * Updated background sync process in fileserver to avoid a race which
+ could result in a volume being taken offline.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * On April 9th Microsoft released a Hot Fix for Windows Server 2003
+ SP2 that corrects a deadlock in the smb redirector and also adds new
+ functionality that permits the AFS SMB server to be given a longer
+ timeout than is normally the case. New functionality has been added
+ to configure these additional LanmanWorkstation\Parameter values.
+ (This functionality has been backported to XP SP3 and is scheduled
+ to be released on June 5th.)
+
+ * Fix RT#124787, a race condition between "fs flush <dir>", "fs
+ flushvolume", or "fs flushall" and on-going directory operations
+ that can result in afsd_service.exe crashing.
+
+ * Release Notes, User and Administrator guides are now shipped as
+ indexed Windows HtmlHelp Files. (.chm). Shortcuts are provided from
+ the Start Menu.
+
+ * A method of specifying Client CellServDB information within the
+ registry has been added that can be used to either override the
+ CellServDB file or force the use of DNS lookups for a given cell.
+ See the release notes for details.
+
+ * The pioctl interface now properly handles drive letter substitution
+ to UNC paths. (SUBST <d:> <\\afs\cell\path>)
+
+ * The BackConnectionHostNames registry value configuration was broken
+ when dynamic re-establishment of Netbios Name registrations was
+ added. This release restores the functionality.
+
+ * All hidden vos.exe commands are now revealed.
+
+ * Attempts to store the same dirty file chunk from multiple threads
+ are now prevented.
+
+ * The IsPathInAfs test in Explorer Shell Extension and fs.exe now
+ permits broken symlinks to be treated as being in AFS.
+
+ * vos.exe commands that output 64-bit integer values once again do so.
+ This was broken in 1.5.59.
+
+ * Cygwin Import Libraries are provided in the SDK for all OpenAFS
+ DLLs. This permits building cygwin applications against OpenAFS
+ libraries.
+
+ * NSIS installer does a much better job of cleaning up files left over
+ from previous installs.
+
+ * libafsconf.dll moved from Client\Program to Common directory as is
+ is now used by all modules for CellServDB processing.
+
+ All UNIX client platforms
+
+ * Write back changes on last store for memcache to avoid discarding
+ changes.
+
+ * Abstract disk cache support to allow for path, fh, inode based
+ caches with no need for messy ifdef structures each time a new type
+ is added.
+
+ DragonflyBSD
+
+ * Support as a userland port.
+
+ FreeBSD

+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.59 (2009-04-06)
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * Increased service priority class to "High" to match the priority of
+ system components that are dependent upon the a timely response.
+
+ * SMB error responses avoid returning errors that could confuse the
+ Microsoft SMB redirector into disconnecting the connection to \\AFS.
+
+ All UNIX client platforms (except MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5)
+
+ * OpenAFS 1.5.59 contains fixes for the client issues addressed by the

+
+ * volserver interfaces for volume splitting client.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * [RT 124293] A race condition exists which can result in a crash.
+
+ * [RT 124276] If the vldb is out of sync with the contents of the file
+ servers, afsd_service will retry too many times when a file server
+ reports a volume as not being present. Now if the list reported by
+ the vldb is the same as the previously seen list, then the retry is
+ aborted.
+
+ * [RT 124276] Read-only volume failover was broken in 1.5.53 whenever
+ accessing a volume results in VNOVOL or VMOVED.
+
+ * [RT 124276] Prior to 1.3.70 the volume server reference list was not
+ reference counted and would be prematurely freed while in use. When
+ reference counting was added in 1.3.70 a bug was introduced that
+ could result in service reference list corruption.
+
+ * Add Windows Application Event Log warning messages for "Client SMB
+ MPX value too large" and "Client SMB Buffer Size too small".
+
+ * Renaming of files across directory boundaries would result in an
+ invalid handle error when attempting to access the files after the
+ move.
+
+ * Fix the handling of Tran2 Set Path Info RPCs. Do not fail when a
+ smb file descriptor cannot be found. The whole point of using a
+ Path Info function is because an smb file descriptor wasn't
+ allocated.
+
+ * More edge cases in which dynamic addition of Freelance root.afs
+ entries would get the wrong FID or where the root.afs directory
+ would not be refreshed.
+
+ * Buffer overflow could occur if the workstation cell name was longer
+ than 64 characters. Crashes could occur in afscreds.exe,
+ afslogon.dll, and afsd_service.exe.
+
+ * VNOSERVICE and VOFFLINE errors were leaking and were exposed to the
+ smb client.
+
+ * Log file server uuid values as part of the cm_server object when
+ available. Dump the cm_server object list in response to "fs
+ memdump".
+
+ * Optimize the performance of resetting access control lists when
+ tokens are set or removed.
+
+ * Remove symlink recursion tests and increase max symlink count to 64
+ from 16.
+
+ * Windows specific Rx performance improvements.
+
+ * Support for Network Identity Manager 2.0

+
+ * Validate the output of smb_ParseASCIIBlock() in all callers. Return
+ CM_ERROR_BADSMB if the STRING field cannot be parsed.
+ CM_ERROR_BADSMB will cause the contents of the packet to be logged.

+ prevented proper fail over when volumes are moved or removed from a
+ server.
+
+ * Remove volume id from the server volume list in response to VMOVED
+ and VNOVOL errors.
+
+ * "fs flushXXX" commands now destroy locally built B+ directory trees.

+ (1.5.50)
+
+ * Pre-allocate 64 Rx Packet buffers per thread in order to improve

+
+ NetBSD
+
+ * Workaround broken sigwait() to allow fileserver to shut down
+ correctly pre NetBSD 5.0.
+
+ Solaris 10
+
+ * Default to namei fileserver; Allow inode fileserver at configure

+
+ * Try harder to avoid kernel panics for malformed requests.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.51 (2008-07-29)
+
+ All platforms
+
+ * salvager tries harder to arrange for clients to get VBUSY while
+ salvaging single volumes.
+
+ * salvager avoids certain corruption when salvaging directories.
+
+ * Rx connection clones disabled.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * The 32-bit EXE 1.5.50 installer failed to properly install the C
+ Runtime library. When used as an upgrade OpenAFS would continue to
+ work but when used as a new installation, OpenAFS binaries would
+ fail to load.
+
+ * Fixes the "fs" and "symlink" commands to properly parse Unicode path
+ prefixes during the pioctl remote procedure call. This bug would
+ result in file not found errors for files and directories that
+ clearly exist. (Bug introduced in 1.5.50)
+
+ * Large File support is disabled. (Bug introduced in 1.5.50)
+
+ * Removes the possibility of a deadlock during volume location update
+ operation if all of the reported file servers are unreachable at the

+
+ * Ensures that reference counts are properly incremented/decremented
+ on Rx connection objects used for volume location RPCs.
+
+ * Over Quota errors during cm_FSync() calls would lead to an infinite

+
+ All UNIX client platforms
+
+ * Bugfixes to disconnected AFS support in the cache manager.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.5.50 (2008-07-16)
+

+
+ * Pioctl interfaces to the cache manager have been refactored to
+ provide layering between the SMB specific code and the general
+ purpose ioctl operation.
+
+ * Garbage collect dead SMB virtual circuits as soon as they are no
+ longer being referenced. This avoids problems with outstanding
+ locks not being dropped when the virtual circuit becomes invalid.
+
+ * Remove the IBM Administration Reference documentation and replace it
+ with the OpenAFS Command Reference Manual.
+
+ * Avoid calling rx_SetDeadTime and rx_SetHardDeadTime functions each
+ time a connection is about to be used. Do not hold a lock on the rx
+ connection object while it is being selected. This avoids a race
+ between threads attempting to set the timeout values and removes a
+ bottleneck that was hampering performance.
+
+ * Ensure that the smb directory attribute is set for all directory
+ objects.
+
+ * Replace the VC Runtime EXE installer with the MSI installer in the
+ NSIS installer scripts.

+OpenAFS 1.5.36 (2008-05-09)
+
+ All platforms
+
+ * Rx optimizations now attempt to deal with high latency WANs.
+
+ * Client will not wait infinitely for a server which is not providing

+ which is not providing data down.
+
+ * vos move will not erroneously unlock locked vldb entries on failure.
+
+ All server platforms
+
+ * Fileserver avoids a potential infinite loop when a client
+ relinquishes an address.
+
+ * Fileserver large setting now configures more threads.
+
+ * Fileserver properly registers uuids of new clients.
+
+ * Ubik servers do not improperly hide updates from clients.

+ * Fileservers reserve enough file descriptors such that each thread
+ can cache one to avoid spurious errors.
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ * Fix a cm_buf_t reference count leak when attempts to write dirty
+ buffers to the file server from within cm_IncrSyncer() fail.
+
+ * Prevent udebug from crashing.
+
+ * Another VNOVNODE issue fixed. When writing a dirty buffer to the
+ file server, if VNOVNODE is received, mark all buffers as invalid
+ without further attempts to contact the file server.
+
+
+=======> Changes back to 1.3 have not yet been incorporated here <=======
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.3
+
+ * -nosettime is now the default for afsd. Use "-settime" to get the
+ old behavior.
+
+ * OpenBSD is now supported.
+
+ * Mountpoint directory information is now only faked for cross-cell
+ mountpoints when using the -fakestat flag (e.g. for the directories
+ under /afs, but not for most other volumes mounted inside the cell).
+ The -fakestat-all switch can be used to fake information for all
+ mountpoints.
+
+ * When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse
+ a fully-populated /afs directory. However, this precludes reliable
+ use of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
+ directory in the root of the volume).
+
+ * Mountpoint directory information can be faked by the cache manager,
+ making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
+ This is enabled by passing -fakestat to afsd, but might not be stable
+ on all platforms.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.9
+
+ * The kaserver now defaults to not allowing interrealm authentication,
+ due to security vulnerabilities in the krb4 protocol. The new
+ "-crossrealm" flag to the kaserver is provided to reenable interrealm
+ authentication if desired.
+
+ * RedHat Linux 9.0 is now supported.
+
+ * Solaris 9 12/02 is now supported. Solaris 7 and 8 x86 should now
+ work again.
+
+ * On Linux machines using 2.2 series kernels, 2.2.19 or higher is now
+ required.
+
+ * An OpenAFS 1.2.9 afsd will not work with kernel modules built from
+ an earlier OpenAFS release. In general, using a mismatched afsd and
+ kernel modules set is unsupported; it is not recommended that you use
+ such a configuration on a regular basis.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.8
+
+ * Mountpoint directory information is now only faked for cross-cell
+ mountpoits when using the -fakestat flag (e.g. for the directories
+ under /afs, but not for most other volumes mounted inside the cell).
+ The -fakestat-all switch can be used to fake information for all
+ mountpoints.
+
+ * HPUX 11.0 is now supported.
+
+ * It is now possible for AFS to use Kerberos 5 directly, via rxkad 2b.
+ See the OpenAFS 1.2.8 Release Notes for more information on using this
+ capability.
+
+ * An NFS translator kernel module is now included and compiled by
+ default for Solaris only.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.7
+
+ * MacOS X 10.2 is now supported. FreeBSD 4.3 and later support is
+ included in this release, but is still under active development and
+ should only be used by those doing active development on the OpenAFS
+ FreeBSD client.
+
+ * When fakestat is enabled on MacOSX, the Finder can be used to browse a
+ fully-populated /afs directory. However, this precludes reliable use
+ of entire volumes as MacOS bundles (i.e. containing a Contents
+ directory in the root of the volume).
+
+ * The fileserver will now use Rx pings to determine if clients are
+ reachable prior to allocating resources to them, to prevent asymmetric
+ clients from consuming all fileserver resources.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.6
+
+ * Mountpoint directory information can be faked by the cache manager,
+ making operations such as stat'ing all cells under /afs much faster.
+ This is enabled by passing -fakestat to afsd.
+
+ * Solaris 9 FCS and Solaris 7 and 8 x86 are now supported.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.5
+
+ * A remote denial of service attack in the AIX and IRIX clients has been
+ fixed. Users of those platforms are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+ * Fixed race conditions in fileserver that could result in crash.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.4
+
+ * Server logfiles now more consistant about format in which hosts are
+ referred to.
+
+ * vfsck on Solaris will now allow force runs (using -y flag) even if old
+ inodes exist.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.3
+
+ * Cell aliases for dynroot can be specified in the CellAlias file in
+ /usr/vice/etc or /usr/local/etc/openafs, in format "realname alias",
+ one per line. They can also be managed at runtime with "fs newalias"
+ and "fs listaliases".
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.2
+
+ * Solaris 9 and Linux PA-RISC are now supported.
+
+ * fileserver will not erroneously delay legitimate errors for 3 seconds
+ after 10 errors are returned (e.g. stat() on a directory you can't
+ read).
+
+ * Rx MTU calculation now works for Irix, Solaris and Linux
+
+ * If afsd is started with the -dynroot flag, /afs will be locally
+ generated from the CellServDB. AFSDB cells will be mounted
+ automatically upon access.
+
+ * The namei fileserver allows vice "partitions" to be directories
+ instead of partitions and will attach and display accordingly.
+ Creating the file "AlwaysAttach" in the /vicepX directory is used as
+ the trigger to attach it.
+
+ * TSM support for butc no longer requires editing a Makefile, simply
+ specify the --enable-tivoli-tsm configure option.
+
+ * Linux builds no longer require source changes every time the kernel
+ inode structure changes; the OpenAFS sources will now configure itself
+ to the actual inode structure as defined in the kernel sources.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.1
+
+ * vfsck on Digital UNIX and Solaris will now refuse to fsck mounted
+ mounted partitions.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.2.0
+
+ * AFS now supports --prefix and the other directory options of
+ configure. By default AFS builds assuming it will be installed in
+ /usr/local. In order to get traditional AFS directory paths (/usr/afs
+ and /usr/vice/etc) use the --enable-transarc-paths option to
+ configure. More details on the new directory layout are found in
+ README.
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.1.1a
+
+ * Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Consistent versioning: Installation, AFS
+ Control Center, Client dialog boxes and properties pages for
+ executables display a consistent OpenAFS version number. Installation
+ detects previous installation and prompts the user for upgrade
+ options.
+
+ * Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 - Installation features: During installation
+ the user can select the source of the CellservDB file, AFS home cell,
+ and drive mappings. During installation a drive path mapping can
+ include a variable that will be substituted with the current UserName
+ that is logged in.
+
+ * Windows 2000/NT - Integrated logon: The Integrated Logon feature
+ works now.
+
+ * Windows 95/98/ME - Logon script features: The Windows 95/98/ME client
+ now offers a command-line option for starting up the AFS client
+ without authenication. It is now possilbe to start the AFS client
+ first and obtain tokens, and map drives all through Windows scripts.
+ This helps using Windows 95/98/ME client in Kerberos 5 environment.
+
+ * Windows 2000/NT - LANA numbers: AFS client now scans the LANA numbers
+ to establish the correct NETBIOS connection. NetBEUI is no longer
+ needed. The user no longer needs to find the correct LANA number.
+
+ * Windows 2000/NT - OpenAFS naming consistancy: Further progress has
+ been made to remove references to "Transarc AFS" and replace with
+ "OpenAFS".
+
+
+OpenAFS 1.0
+
+ * AFS now builds with configure. The README for building has been
+ updated and includes full details.
+
+ * A client system can now have multiple sysname values for @sys. They
+ will be searched in order when looking up files in AFS. The
+ -newsysname argument to fs sysname can be repeated to set multiple
+ sysnames.
+
+ * A new system group is created for new cells (system:ptsviewers with id
+ -203). If this group exists, members of this group can examine and
+ read the entire protection database. They can examine all users and
+ groups and can get the membership of any group.
+
+ * A new program, pt_util has been added to the distribution. This
+ program allows users to print the contents of the protection database
+ or to edit the protection database without running a ptserver. It can
+ be used to set up a new cell without ever running in noauth mode. Run
+ pt_util -h for help.
+
+ * The fs setcrypt and fs getcrypt commands have been added. These
+ commands allow the system administrator to require that the client
+ encrypt all authenticated traffic between the client workstation and
+ AFS. The encryption used is weak, but is likely better than sending
+ unencrypted traffic in most environments. Some functions, such as
+ looking for a volume may not be encrypted, but data transfer certainly
+ is. By default data is not encrypted. At this time no significant
+ experimentation with server performance has been conducted.
+
+ * By default AFS is compiled with AFS_AFSDB_ENV, enabling the -afsdb
+ option to be given to afsd on startup. If this option is used, then
+ new cells will be looked up using AFSDB records stored in DNS if they
+ are not found in CellServDB. This means that users can create
+ cross-cell mountpoints in directories they control to access cells not
+ in root.afs, and that cells in root.afs need not be in the client's
+ CellServDB.
+
+ * AFS database servers can be marked as read-only clones. Surround the
+ hostname in square brackets on the bos addhost command and the
+ database server will never be elected sync site. This is useful for
+ cells distributed over a wide region.
+
+ * The AFS servers now support the -syslog flag. This flag causes them
+ to log to syslog rather than to files. This flag is not supported on
+ NT. For all servers besides the salvager, the flag can also be
+ specified as -syslog=facility, where facility is an integer facility
+ code from syslog.h. A -syslogfacility option is provided for the
+ salvager to accomplish the same goal.
+
+ * If the --enable-fast-restart flag is given when configuring AFS, then
+ the salvager supports the -dontsalvage flag which causes it to exit
+ without salvaging any volumes. If this is configured into the third
+ command of a fs process, then the fileserver will start without
+ salvaging. It will fail to attach volumes that need salvaging and
+ they can be salvaged manually. This provides significantly better
+ server startup performance at the cost of administrative complexity.
+
+ * If the --enable-bitmap-later flag is given when configuring AFS, then
+ the fileserver creates bitmaps for free vnodes on demand, allowing
+ faster starts.
+
+ * If bosserver finds a BosConfig.new file at startup, it reads this file
+ and renames it to BosConfig. This allows bosserver to be reconfigured
+ at next restart.
+
+ * The bosserver can be placed in a restricted mode in which AFS
+ superusers are only granted limited access to the server host. The
+ following functionality is disabled when restricted mode is in use:
+
+ bos exec
+ bos getlog (except for files with no '/'s in their name)*
+ bos create *
+ bos delete
+ bos install
+ bos uninstall
+
+ specific exceptions are made for functionality that "bos salvage"
+ uses:
+
+ A cron bnode who's name is "salvage-tmp", time is now, and command
+ begins with "/usr/afs/bin/salvager" may be created. This bnode deletes
+ itself when complete, so no special "delete" support is needed. This
+ functionality may be removed in the future if a "Salvage" RPC is
implimented.
The file with the exact path /usr/afs/logs/SalvageLog may be fetched,
Restricted mode is enabled using a new bos command (bos setrestricted)
or bossever command line switch (bosserver -restricted). Restricted
- mode can be disabled by a) sending the bosserver process a SIGFPE (which
- will then allow restricted operations until the next restart or
- setrestricted command) or b) editing /usr/afs/local/BosConfig
- (or BosConfig.new), and restarting the bosserver.
