Fixes
Corrected in 5.5.5 (build 5.5.314)
The following fixes were made in this release:
• When a local user or group was deleted, the user or group was not deleted from the CIFS
database.
• An lwiod failure caused the CIFS service to stop.
• An attempt to create a file over RPC succeeded, but the file did not exist.
• When a user quota setting was changed, the ibrix_edquota -l command reported the error
RealQuotaMonitor - directory tree quota has unparsable output.
• The Linux X9000 client did not start after a minor kernel update. A new utility is now available
to determine whether a minor kernel update is compatible with the X9000 client software. See
“Installing a minor kernel update on Linux clients” (page 16) for more information.
• Attempts to join a domain failed if the /etc/hosts file had a duplicate or uppercase alias.
Corrected in 5.5.4 (build 5.5.304)
The following fixes were made in this release:
File systems
• The ibrix_fsck command needed an option to focus consistency checking on specific segments.
• A modification to the lost+found directory could cause corruption, with the error
ext3_dx_find_entry: bad entry in directory.
• A race condition caused an error when ibrix_fsck checked the lost+found directory.
• Running ibrix_fsck in phase 2 caused the file system to be read-only for X9000 clients.
• Under certain conditions, mounting a file system could cause a server to terminate unexpectedly.
• The mtime of a file changed when the file was migrated, rebalanced, or evacuated to another
segment.
• A segment did not activate for a file system, causing an exception in JmsResource.
CIFS
• Applications connecting to X9000 CIFS shares experienced file read delays when oplocks were
enabled.
• A CIFS share could not be deleted.
• Performance improvements were needed for CIFS and Windows X9000 clients.
• A segmentation fault occurred after the CIFS service was restarted.
• If the guest account did not have a password, it was disabled when the CIFS service was restarted.
• A race condition caused intermittent CIFS outages.
• A condition in the CIFS implementation could cause an lsassd failure and segmentation fault.
• The CIFS implementation did not support command chaining.
