Current Series Release Notes
1.14.0
New Features
- Support for setting the scan mode on the Open-iSCSI initiator. If
installed iscsiadm supports this feature OS-Brick will set all it’s new
sessions to manual scan.
- New parameters on disconnect_volume named force and ignore_errors can
be used to let OS-Brick know that data loss is secondary to leaving a clean
system with no leftover devices. If force is not set, or set to False,
preventing data loss will take priority. Currently only iSCSI implements
these new parameters.
Deprecation Notes
- The direct use of the encryption provider classes such as
os_brick.encryptors.luks.LuksEncryptor continues to be deprecated and will
now be blocked in the Queens release of os-brick. The use of out of tree
encryption provider classes also continues to be deprecated and will also
be blocked in the Queens release of os-brick.
Bug Fixes
- On systems with scan mode support on open-iSCSI we’ll no longer see
unwanted devices polluting our system due to the automatic initiator scan
or to AEN/AER messages from the backend.
- iSCSI connect mechanism refactoring to be faster, more robust, more
reliable.
- iSCSI disconnect refactoring improves reliability, speed, and thoroughness
on leaving a cleaner system after disconnection.
1.12.0
New Features
- Add Veritas HyperScale connector support
Bug Fixes
- Add support to use custom Ceph keyring files (previously os-brick hardcoded using /etc/ceph/<cluster>.client.<user>.keyring file).
