3.5.1 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Release Notes 4

• Defect 15599. The rpcquota.d daemon was not included in the pmxs-

quota-tools RPM.

• Defect 15600. The

NETLINK facility should be used to configure virtual

hosts as secondary addresses.

• Defect 15606. The rate at which nodes send snmp requests to FC

switches needed to be reduced. This change allows more and larger

matrices to be connected to an FC switch.

• Defect 15636. Imported devices could not be accessed when the

RHEL4 hugemem kernel was used.

• Defect 15673. ESTALE errors were returned incorrectly when the

system was under heavy load.

• Defect 15683. Output from the psfsck -n command specified that

--rebuild-tree should be run next, when the next step should have

been to run psfsck in fix-fixable (default) mode.

• Defect 15972. Matrix Server needed to support waiting for cancellation

of NFS lockd asynchronous record lock requests.

• Defect 16005. The PSFS filesystem did not always correctly keep file

pointers up-to-date, which could in rare circumstances lead to data

corruption. This problem could occur only in situations such as the

following: node1 opens a file for writing; node2 changes the content of

the file (for example, by renaming the file and then creating a new file

with the original pathname); node1 opens the new file (while the

original file is still open on that node). The user who opened the

original file on node1 could then potentially write to the new file with

the original pathname, instead of writing to the original file. The

possibility of data corruption exists only while the second user is

opening the new file on node1.

• Defect 16022. The psfsck command did not reinitialize a corrupt

filesystem journal.
