[Gluster-devel] Announcing Glusterfs release 3.12.3 (Long Term Maintenance)

[Jiffin Thottan]

The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of Gluster 3.12.3 (packages available at [1,2,3]).

Release notes for the release can be found at [4]. 

We still carry following major issue that is reported in the release-notes as follows,

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

    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.

    The last known cause for corruption (Bug #1465123) has a fix with this release. As further testing is still in progress, the issue is retained as a major issue.

    Status of this bug can be tracked here, #1465123 

Thanks,
Gluster community
