Gfarm 2.7.13 released

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the release of

* Gfarm file system version 2.7.13
* Gfarm file system version 2.6.28

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gfarm/

This release includes useful updates and bug fixes. Gfarm 2.7.13 has
a new feature to make a filesystem node readonly.

We recommend for all users to upgrade to this version.

Release note for Gfarm 2.7.13
=============================

[2019.3.22]

New configuration directive
* replication_at_write_open – if this directive is enabled, even when
all file replicas of a file are stored at read-only filesystem
nodes, it can be updated by replicating it to a read-write
filesystem node before opening in the write mode. Default is
enable.

Updated feature
* read-only mode – filesystem node can be changed to read only by
gfhost -m -f 1 hostname
* gfdf – -R option to know real disk usage

Bug fix
* gfmd failover does not work, which was introduced by the version
2.7.12
* compilation error with InfiniBand, which was introduced by the
version 2.7.12
* gfquota -d does not work against a writable directory

Gfarm version 2.7.12 withdrawn

Hi all,

We regret to withdraw the release of Gfarm 2.7.12 and
Gfarm 2.6.27 due to a serious bug included.

The metadata server cannot be failed over.

** Please do not use this release **

We apologize for this inconvenience sincerely, and will
release the new version soon. Please use Gfarm 2.7.11
or Gfarm 2.6.26 until then.
