Chapter 3. Major Updates

"ceph" rebased to 0.94.9

The ceph packages have been updated to the upstream version 0.94.9, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.

The "radosgw-agent fully sync" mode now copies only changed objects

With this update, the radosgw-agent in full sync mode copies only objects that have changed, instead of all of them, when synchronizing objects between two Ceph Object Gateways after a failover.

The default quota for a user is set when creating the user

With this update, when creating a new Ceph Object Gateway user, the default quota is set for the user. Previously, the default quota for a user was not set until the user performed an action in the Ceph Object Gateway.

"ceph-deploy" rebased to 1.5.36

The ceph-deploy package has been updated to the upstream version 1.5.36, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.

"ceph-deploy" now has its own ceph-deploy-${cluster_name}.log file

The ceph-deploy utility has now its own ceph-deploy-${cluster-name}.log file. Previously, the ${cluster-name}.log file was used to log ceph-deploy entries, which could lead to confusion because this file is also used to log entries related to the Ceph cluster.

Transition to Phase-2 Production support

Red Hat will deliver continued support of Ceph Storage 1.3 for 36 months since its original release, until June 30th, 2018.
