Upgrades to Matrix Server 3.6.0

It is important to upgrade all nodes in the matrix within a short time

frame. We do not recommend running the matrix for an extended period

of time with only some of the nodes upgraded to 3.6.0. This release

introduces a new configuration data repository and a new logging facility

that do not become fully functional until all nodes are upgraded. If the

matrix is only partially upgraded, alerts raised by nodes running 3.6 will

be improperly logged by nodes running 3.4. Also, until the entire matrix

is upgraded, many services that are run on 3.6 nodes must be run as local

system administrator.

Supported Filesystem Features

The PSFS filesystem supports a wide variety of NTFS filesystem

interfaces and semantics. It smoothly integrates into existing Windows

environments, supporting all of the standard filesystem read, write, open,

and close calls and simplifying application deployment and scalability.

The PSFS filesystem supports the following features of the NTFS

filesystem:

• Byte-range locking. PSFS supports both local-node and cross-node

byte-range locking.

• Cached and non-cached file access.

• Case-insensitive naming.

• Case-sensitive naming.

• Content indexing. PSFS support is the same as the FAT filesystem. (See

“Unsupported Features” for more information.)

• Directory Change Notification (DCN). PSFS supports both local-node

and cross-node Change Notification.

• Disk quotas.

• Hidden, readonly, archive bits (and so on).
