- OpenAFS Release Notes - Version 1.4.1
- _________________________________________________________________
-All systems: Major bugfixes.
-New systems: MacOS 10.4 (PowerPC and Intel)
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-* Bugfixes:
-
-All systems:
-
-- Several race conditions in the host tracking and handling in the fileserver
- which could cause inconsistent behavior and crashes have been fixed.
-
-- A fileserver bug where a reference to a volume could be leaked and later
- cause a deadlock as a result of a bulk status call
-
-- Reference counting of fileserver objects in unsigned 32 bit integers
- instead of signed 16 bit integers.
-
-- Avoid type mismatches when handling time values (betweemn 32 bit and 64 bit
- variables).
-
-- Fix a memory leak during multilevel packet queue handling.
-
-- Audit log output had been updated to include FIDs for newly created files.
-
-HP-UX 11i:
-
-- 64 bit (large file) inodes are supported.
-
-- Salvager will now handle large (>4gb) partitions.
-
-* New features:
-
-All systems:
-
-- asetkey is now included to ease Kerberos 5 integration for server
- administrators.
-
-- A new fileserver statistics collection including callback statistics was
- added.
-
-- man pages are now generated.
-
-Microsoft Windows:
-
-- Fixes error message problems experienced by fs.exe and the AFS Explorer
- Shell Extensions related to the use of Universal Error Codes by the
- AFS File Server
-
-- Adds full SMB/CIFS support for byte range locking. In this implementation
- all locks are allocated locally and the AFS lock privilege is ignored.
- While this will not prevent two processes on different machines from
- simultaneously writing to the same file, it will prevent two processes
- on the same machine from doing so.
-
-- The UP server check period has been reduced to once every ten minutes to
- match the period used by the UNIX clients. The shorter period will
- assist clients maintain RX connections through NATs.
-
-- Fixes the DOWN server check logic to ensure that any server that responds
- to a check is marked UP unless it is in the process of restarting.
-
-- Add logic to better handle objects that no longer exist on the file server.
- (VNOVNODE errors.)
-
-- Prevent the removal of existing drive mappings by "afscreds.exe -M"
-
-- Fixes the procmgmt library so that it doesn't cause applications that
- unload it to crash.
-
-- Improves the warnings written to the afsd_init.log file when the
- Windows RPC Protocol drivers are improperly configured.
-
-- Fixes "fs setserverprefs -vlserver". Multiple calls with the same
- server parameter could result in a crash of afsd_service.exe.
-
-- The SMB/CIFS layer was audited for reference miscounts and memory leaks.
- All SMB objects are now properly counted, locked, and released when
- their work is done.
-
-- Prevent file truncation of the user does not have the appropriate access.
-
-- Token management was re-written to allow user tokens to be preserved
- during integrated login and freed after logoff is complete.
-
-- Added a mechanism by which abandoned SMB virtual circuits can be
- detected and the associated resources cleaned up.
-
-- Prevent the allocation of SMB file handles with a value of 0 or 0xFFFF
- which would be considered invalid by Windows applications.
-
-- Fixed the processing of cell names to ensure that they are always
- treated as case insensitive strings.
-
-- Fixed the network provider code to avoid querying the profile location
- if integrated login is disabled.
-
-- If a mount point string is empty, return Path Not Found to the application.
-
-- Windows returns WSAECONNRESET when an ICMP packet is received in response
- to a transmitted UDP packet that cannot be delivered. Do not mark the
- connection as bad but instead retry the request.
-
-- Fix the data written to the registry as part of the BackConnectionHostnames
- values.
-
-- Fixed the rx-lwp implementation to always generate unique rx call
- identitiers.
-
-- The default "fs minidump" type now includes data segments.
