Acopia Networks, Inc.

• ARX volumes declare their back-end shares “offline” when write probes fail for 40 seconds. Multiple

probe types should fail over a longer period for a share to be declared offline. (27400)

• A volume with cifs path-cache enabled rejects all requests for the “/” path (such as mount requests)

from Mac Dave clients. (27404)

• If a managed volume’s metadata filer is slow for an extended time, the volume may spontaneously re-

import. (27178)

• If enough NFS clients hold open TCP connections to a VIP for an extended time, rpcinfo queries may

fail and possibly cause a failover. (26829)

In Release 2.5.2

• When a thread fails during a managed-volume import, the other threads continue instead of aborting

the import job. (27406)

• An NSM processor may fail if it is running nearly its maximum number of CIFS sessions, 16,000.

(26496)

• The no capture session command can, in rare circumstances, lead to a system failure. (26844)

• An expect command can hang for an indefinite time. (26470)

• CIFS clients cannot access directories whose names begin with a “.”, such as “.myFiles,” while cifs

path-cache is enabled. (27012)

• Some Excel-spreadsheet Macros fail when accessing the Excel files through the ARX. (26812, 26773)

In Release 2.5.1

• In installations with high-numbered IP addresses (140.x.x.x or higher) and many simultaneous

connections, the ARX periodically loses contact with a back-end filer. (24423, 25956)

• A misleading redundancy error may appear when reloading the active peer. (25155)

• The SSH key changes after the software upgrade, requiring administrators to update their copy of the

key. (26184, 26334)

• (Enhancement) Increase the maximum number of CIFS exports to 9,000. (26543)

• File or directory creates occasionally failed in CIFS managed volumes. (26624)

• CIFS clients are unable to access a file or directory with a German umlaut in its name. (26585)

• At a particular moment during startup of a Kerberos-and-NTLM service, it is possible for a Kerberos

client to cause a CIFS-service failure. (26580)

• Alternate names are not supported in CIFS volumes. (24765)
