The following issues were fixed in FluidFS 6.0.300135:
Area Description
Data Protection FS8600 could not join or leave Active Directory if a trusted domain name contained an apostrophe, for
example, John’s..
Active Directory status failed if the Domain Controller name contained an underscore.
Dell Storage Manager (DSM) administrators with Active Directory accounts could not manage the FluidFS
system after their Active Directory passwords changed and differed from the ones stored in DSM.
NAS Volumes, Shares,
and Exports
NFS access rules did not work for host names starting with a digit.
Volume space alerts were sent to the volume administrator only, unless the system administrator was added as
volume/tenant administrator.
System Functionality Network management was suboptimal due to occasional Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) communication
failures with neighboring network devices.
FTP did not function correctly if the user or group name contained a space character.
Expanding a 24 GB appliance with a 48 GB appliance failed under specific conditions.
Attaching a replacement controller failed if a subnet restriction was configured for a volume.
Fixed Issues in FluidFS Version 6.0.140010
The following issues were fixed in FluidFS v6.0.140010:
Area
Description
System Functionality User authentication failed with Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers when the functional level was set to
Windows Server 2003 and the encryption type was AES-128 or AES-256.
Some applications, such as Novell Storage Manager, requesting to enumerate open files in a given folder or
directory (basepath) received faulty results.
Changing ownership (chown) of a file using NFS4 did not reflect in space usage (quota).
When applications requested to lock a byte-range and to ignore the lock sequence, file locks were not honored
when using SMB3.
Data Protection Under rare conditions, NDMP backup failed.
NAS Volumes, Shares,
and Exports
Automatic failback sometimes hung for SMB clients. This release introduces a 5-minute delay in automatic
failback to ensure the process completes.
NFS users could not delete .AppleDouble directories because permissions were too strict. This release
implements the following Support Shell commands: set-appledouble-access - set default
permissions for new .AppleDouble directories and fix-appledouble-access -
modify existing directory permissions to current default.
When a client belonged to multiple netgroups, NFS export access was evaluated alphabetically, by netgroup
name, and led to unexpected behavior. NFS export access is now evaluated in the order the netgroups are
listed.
Failover times for NFS sessions were sometimes longer than expected.
