The change log contains a detailed summary of the changes made for each new release of QuantaStor.  Each change made to QuantaStor is tracked with an engineering ticket number in the form '''[QSTOR-NNNN]'''.  This information is provided so that if you're working with OSNexus support you can track the availability of a given product feature add, improvement, or maintenance fix to a specific release.  For information on how to upgrade your storage system please see the [[QuantaStor Upgrade Guide|Upgrade Guide]].


== Versioning System ==
== Versioning System ==
QuantaStor version numbers have four (4) parts to them. A major number (M), minor number (N), maintenance update number (U) and build number (B) of the form M.N.U.B such as 4.6.3.001.  QuantaStor upgrades go directly from whatever version you are running to the latest version with no interim steps so for example if you are at v3.16 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v4.6.
QuantaStor version numbers consist of four (4) parts. A major number (M), minor number (N), maintenance update number (U) and build number (B) of the form M.N.U.B such as 6.0.2.006.


==== Major Version Number ====
QuantaStor upgrades go directly from whatever version you are running to the latest version, with no interim steps so for example if you are at v6.0.1 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v6.1.2
QuantaStor v4.x is the current Major release version.  


Upgrading from QuantaStor 3.x releases can be done inline with minimal downtime and a schedule work window to reboot for any new Kernel and driver updates.
== Product Update Types ==


Legacy upgrades from QuantaStor 2.x releases would require exporting any Storage Pools, reloading the OS with QuantaStor 4.x install media, and then importing the storage pools and performing a restore of the configuration database using the [[Storage System Recovery Manager Dialog]]
==== Major Updates (X.y.z) ====
If the first digit in the version number has changed this indicates a major product release such as QuantaStor v5 to QuantaStor v6. Major releases generally come with a new underlying Linux platform as the basis.  For example, the standard ISO install for QuantaStor v5 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 whereas QuantaStor v6 is based on Ubuntu 20.04.   Major product releases generally include new features and maintenance updates and are supported on multiple underlying Linux platforms.  For example, QuantaStor v6 is available as an upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 based systems as well as RHEL and RHEL derivative platforms.  Platform upgrades to move systems forward (eg 18.04 to 20.04) are made generally available in the first feature update release, such as QuantaStor 6.1.


==== Minor Version Number ====
==== Feature Updates (x.Y.z) ====
The minor version number increments with each minor product update release of QuantaStor which comes out every 2 - 4 months.  Releases typically include a combination of new features and some maintenance fixes.  Most releases can be applied without a reboot and zero downtime as they rarely include driver changes.  If a release does require a reboot we mark it specially with a large tag "REBOOT REQUIRED" so that you can find an appropriate maintenance window in which to apply the upgrade.  In general, reboots are only required when the qstortarget package has been upgraded.  So if you see that a new version of that package is available know that a reboot will be required to complete the upgrade.
If the second digit in the version number has changed this indicates a feature release such as 6.'''1''' going to 6.'''2'''.  Feature releases add new product features as well as a maintenance updates.  No additional licensing is required to access any new features that added but note that QuantaStor licenses do not include licenses for 3rd party products and services that may integrate with QuantaStor.


==== Maintenance Update ====
==== Maintenance Updates (x.y.Z) ====
If the release includes maintenance version number like 4.6.'''2''' or 4.6.'''3''' it represents a update to address one or more support tickets.  These updates generally do not contain new features, only fixes to address specific issues.  Maintenance releases generally ship once a month. All Hotfix release packages are provided against the current stable release.
If the third digit of the version number has changed this such as 6.0.'''2''' or 6.0.'''3''' it represents a maintenance update to address one or more support tickets.  These updates generally do not contain new features, only fixes to address specific issues.  Maintenance releases generally ship every 4 to 8 weeks. All maintenance "aka hot-fix" releases are provided against the current stable release so upgrading to the latest QuantaStor version is generally required to apply them.


==== Build Number ====
==== Build Number (x.y.z.BBB) ====
The build number and corresponding build reference hash can be largely ignored. The build number simply increments with each commit that is made to the source tree. The hash is provided to make it easier for OSNEXUS support and engineering to quickly confirm difference between your current running release and any more modern release.

* Fixed: HA VIF SMB authentication in Kerberos-only Active Directory environments. [ QSTOR-11685 ]
 
Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies
* Fixed the replication-schedule volume picker so it no longer hides eligible volumes whose owning node changed after an HA failover. [ QSTOR-11775 ]
* Fixed problem with backup job cancel not stopping the process. [ QSTOR-11877 ]


Upgrade Manager and Installer
SCSI / NVMe Target
* Fixed: added a more permanent mask to the NetworkManager service in the qs_centos_upgrade.sh script used for deploying QuantaStor on CentOS 7.8 [ QSTOR-7364 ]
* Fixed: network ports with iSCSI/NVMe-oF disabled are never exposed as allowed iSCSI portals, including after a service restart. [ QSTOR-12330 ]


== v5.7.1.138 (August 10th 2020) ==
Storage Pool Management
* Fixed: the service no longer runs zpool status -v on the startup import path, so a pool with many data errors no longer blocks service startup. [ QSTOR-11654 ]
* Fixed: the QuantaStor service starts after multipathd so pools with many multipath devices no longer start degraded at boot. [ QSTOR-12108 ]
* Fixed: a degraded pool's missing or faulted devices now stay visible in the Storage Pool Devices view with their state instead of disappearing from the list. [ QSTOR-12109 ]


=== [[QuantaStor 5.7.1 Upgrade Instructions | Upgrade Instructions]] ===
Upgrade Manager and Installer
Click [[QuantaStor 5.7.1 Upgrade Instructions | here]] for instructions on [[QuantaStor 5.7.1 Upgrade Instructions | upgrading to QuantaStor v5.7.1]].

* Fixed: core-only upgrades now refresh the qstorkeyring package so repository trust updates reach every upgrade path. [ QSTOR-12280 ]
* Fixed: the install scripts trust only the current OSNEXUS repository signing keys instead of importing the published keyring wholesale. [ QSTOR-12293 ]


=== Release Highlights ===
Web Manager
Platform Support

Click [[QuantaStor 6.8.5 Upgrade Instructions | here]] for instructions on [[QuantaStor 6.8.5 Upgrade Instructions | upgrading to QuantaStor v6.8.5]].


* Updated SCST Driver to 3.5
=== Release Notes ===
* Updated ZFS Driver for Bionic and CentOS platforms to 0.8.4
* Updated various system and network drivers.


Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
* Fixed: RGW auto-tiering rules now apply to tenant-scoped buckets; the tiering script is installed for every tenant instead of only the default one. [ QSTOR-12223 ]
* Added: auto-tiering rules can now be scoped to a tenant from the web interface and CLI - all tenants, buckets outside any tenant, or a named tenant. [ QSTOR-12225 ]
* Changed: named-tenant matching is now exact ('sc2' no longer also matches 'sc2_prod'); no rule created in the web interface could carry a named tenant before this change, so no existing configuration is affected. [ QSTOR-12225 ]


* Redesigned the OSD & Journal Create dialog with a new Auto-Config option that preselects similar SSDs for Journal and HDDs for OSD Data disks. [ QSTOR-7281 ]
Enclosures and Controllers
* Fixed: Supermicro SC846 and SC847 enclosures reporting vendor SMC now match their JBOD layout profile instead of logging a layout detection failure on every discovery cycle. [ QSTOR-11947 ]
* Fixed: disks could remain displayed under a 9600-series HBA after the attached storage was removed, because a successful-but-empty discovery result was treated as a command failure and the disk list was never refreshed. [ QSTOR-12036 ]


Web Manager
Network Shares
* Fixed: Active Directory user and group lookups no longer fail intermittently where a domain controller address reverse-resolves to a name other than the controller own name. [ QSTOR-12214 ]
* Added: a domain-join option that disables reverse DNS canonicalization and sends user and group lookups to every pinned domain controller. [ QSTOR-12214 ]
* Fixed: an Active Directory user/group search now reports why it could not run, instead of always blaming a trusted-domain search filter. [ QSTOR-12216 ]


* Enhanced the Web UI to support contextual highlighting of ZFS or Ceph Storage Pool Device Groups and their Storage Pool Device members in the Pool Enclosure View. [ QSTOR-7261 ]
Service Core
* Fixed a qs_service crash under sustained DB connection pool exhaustion on large Ceph/S3 grids by serializing and capping overflow connection creation. [ QSTOR-11580 ]
* Fixed: a task that failed to resume after a service restart could block every other task from resuming. [ QSTOR-12218 ]
* Fixed: the task resume limit was not enforced for some task types, so a task that could never finish was retried on every service start. [ QSTOR-12218 ]


Storage Pool Management
* Added capability to simulate Corvault configurations in order to test pool configurations for redundancy. [ QSTOR-11945 ]


=== Release Notes ===
Upgrade Manager and Installer
* Fixed: a storage system upgrade task could stop resuming after the second service restart, leaving a completed upgrade reported as stuck at 30%. [ QSTOR-12177 ]
* Fixed: leftover upgrade progress files were never purged, so a finished upgrade could keep reporting stale progress. [ QSTOR-12219 ]
* Fixed: 6.8.4 ISO and OVA images were missing qstortomcat, qstorrest, qstoraws and qstorbase, which left the web interface unavailable after an offline install. The images have been rebuilt. [ QSTOR-12237 ]
* Added: an ISO build now fails if a package it declares is absent, so an incomplete image cannot ship. [ QSTOR-12237 ]
== v6.8.4.038  (August 13th 2026) ==

* Added support for config analysis check for ECC RAM [ QSTOR-7100 ]
=== Release Notes ===


Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
 
* Fixed an issue where the Ceph Cluster Coordinator role could become stuck on one node. The automatic fallback election methods (grid-primary, site-primary, mon-rank) were not taking effect, so when no designated coordinator was set, coordinatorship never moved (e.g. after changing the grid master). Automatic coordinator election now works correctly; explicitly designated coordinators were unaffected. [ QSTOR-12194 ]
* Fixed an issue with creating shares on a Ceph Filesystem pool on CentOs. [ QSTOR-7305 ]
* Fix an issue where ceph buckets can sometimes disappear when the ceph master node is offline. Workaround was to rescan the buckets. [ QSTOR-7331 ]
* Added a check to ensure selected available disks are Formatted for use prior to Ceph Journal Group create. [ QSTOR-7299 ]
* Added logic to Block ceph pool create for replica count greater than the number of nodes in the ceph cluster. [ QSTOR-7298 ]
* Redesigned the OSD & Journal Create dialog with a new Auto-Config option that preselects similar SSDs for Journal and HDDs for OSD Data disks. [ QSTOR-7281 ]
* Fixed issue where the ui would show an incorrect Monitor Status for a Ceph Cluster Member. [ QSTOR-7278 ]
* Fixed: Validate the erasure code for the given number of members in the ceph cluster during CephFS pool create and ceph object pool create. [ QSTOR-7269 ]
* Added Logic to Block Ceph Cluster Create if system has less than 4GB RAM. [ QSTOR-7253 ]
* Fixed a Web UI issue where a Pool would be deleted, but the enclosure view for that Pool would remain. [ QSTOR-7246 ]
* Added logic to the Ceph Cluster create to automatically disable multipathing on the disks on the nodes in the newly created cluster and rescan the physical disks to switch the disk device paths to those supported for OSD creation. [ QSTOR-7225 ]
* Fixed: Prevent Ceph object storage pool from showing in the create share dialog. [ QSTOR-7219 ]
* Fixed an issue with creating new monitors on Ceph Clusters. [ QSTOR-7218 ]
* Fixed: When an OSD goes into the Offline state, the associated Storage Pool Devices now reflect that state in the tree view as state icons are now supported. [ QSTOR-7213 ]
* Fix minor warning alert raised during multiple OSD create. [ QSTOR-7209 ]
* Fixed: Set the optional 'admin socket mode', in the ceph.conf, to '0775'. This allows members of the ceph group to have access to OSD/MON sockets (for R/W). This is required for monitoring ceph using the telegraf ceph plugin. [ QSTOR-7203 ]
* Add QS cli to list ceph crash list and archive the crash. [ QSTOR-7202 ]
* Fixed: Automatically Archive OSD crash if the OSD is in a healthy state again. This resets the ceph cluster health. [ QSTOR-7192 ]
* Fixed an issue where the Ceph Monitor state was not getting updated when the manager node was shutdown. [ QSTOR-7156 ]
* Fixed some inaccuracies with the Ceph PG Health status bar in the Ceph dashboard. [ QSTOR-7119 ]
* Add the ability to replace/migrate a Ceph Journal. [ QSTOR-6782 ]


Dashboards and Analytics
Dashboards and Analytics
* Fixed the Ceph RGW dashboard on Ceph Tentacle so it correctly reports throughput/latency when transferring files to a bucket. [ QSTOR-11803 ]


* Fixed and issue where the qsrestd service was opening too many sockets for requests to influxdb. [ QSTOR-7201 ]
High Availability Failover
* Fixed the script to set the device reservation ability on WD Openflex Data24 [ QSTOR-12117 ]
* Fixed site cluster heartbeat rings so each ring keeps its own network address and member list. Previously the rings of a multi-ring site collapsed into a single entry with no subnet shown. [ QSTOR-12159 ]


Hardware Enclosures and Controllers
Network Shares
* Adds an explicit domain controller to the GSSAPI ldapsearch for Active Directory user and group lookups, fixing intermittent failures on multi-controller domains. Domain joins also wait longer for a busy controller. [ QSTOR-11939 ]
* Added a cleanup-only mode to the Active Directory leave operation that reverts the local domain configuration without contacting the domain controller, for recovering from a failed or partial leave. [ QSTOR-12058 ]
* Fixed: SMB/DFS network share namespace referrals now advertise all of an appliance's reachable addresses rather than just one, so clients on any subnet can reach the share. [ QSTOR-12107 ]
* Fixed per-user share permissions so an existing entry with no recorded read/write/execute setting is treated as full access rather than no access. Modifying a share no longer rewrites ACLs when no permission actually changed. [ QSTOR-12113 ]
* Fixed Active Directory joins in SSSD-only mode against Windows Server 2025 domain controllers, which previously failed to set the machine account password. [ QSTOR-12141 ]
* Fixed placeholder values such as None, null or undefined sent by API clients being written into the Samba configuration, which stopped Samba loading the file and took SMB access down for every share on the node. [ QSTOR-12152 ]
* Fixed the Active Directory leave hanging when the PDC Emulator is offline. The leave now completes within a bounded timeout and reverts the local configuration. [ QSTOR-12161 ]


* Updated Dell BOSS Card Management raid utility. [ QSTOR-7314 ]
== v6.8.3.018  (August 6th 2026) ==
* Added support for additional Intel Server System server models. [ QSTOR-7268 ]
* Added support for grouping hardware enclosure layouts by manufacturer/vendor [ QSTOR-7256 ]
* Fixed an issue where some SSD devices were not correlating properly to slot numbers [ QSTOR-7255 ]
* Adds support for AIC 60 bay servers and JBODs [ QSTOR-7250 ]
* Adds support for the AIC 60 by servers and JBODs [ QSTOR-7196 ]
* Fixed an issue where attempting to create an HA group on a degraded pool would report the missing disk as SATA. Creating HA groups on degraded pools is not supported, but the messaging is much clearer now. [ QSTOR-6997 ]
* Added better enclosure discovery and mapping support for LSI/Avago 9400 Series Cards, [ QSTOR-6464 ]


High Availability Failover

* Fixed an issue where failover group can be in deactivated state if both nodes are rebooted. [ QSTOR-6620 ]
=== Release Notes ===


NAS Gateway / Cloud Containers
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
 
* Creating or removing a Ceph object storage class now commits the RGW period so it takes effect immediately. [ QSTOR-11938 ]
* Fixed a few text fields and items for the S3 Proxy Dialog. [ QSTOR-7271 ]
* A failed bucket enumeration is no longer treated as an empty list, which could silently drop bucket configuration. [ QSTOR-12130 ]
* Ceph object pool group creation now commits the RGW period, fixing persistent RGW realm/master-zone errors. [ QSTOR-12132 ]


Network Shares
Network Shares
* Fixed Active Directory join failures on domains that use older Kerberos encryption methods. [ QSTOR-11646 ]
* Changed: Active Directory joins now set 'restrict anonymous = 2' in smb.conf to block unauthenticated SID/RID enumeration. [ QSTOR-11834 ]
* Fixed: Active Directory joins no longer fail when the computer-account OU contains a space. [ QSTOR-11895 ]
* Fixed: Active Directory joins no longer disable SASL signing in the system-wide ldap.conf. [ QSTOR-11926 ]
* Added a 'Skip DNS registration' option to the Active Directory join dialog, CLI and API for sites whose DNS is managed outside AD. [ QSTOR-12083 ]
* Fixed a custom autorid Domain Range Size being discarded during an Active Directory join. [ QSTOR-12089 ]
* The Active Directory KDC field now accepts a comma-separated list of domain controllers for Kerberos failover. [ QSTOR-12091 ]
* Active Directory joins in SSSD modes no longer force user/group enumeration, which could stall startup on large domains. [ QSTOR-12092 ]
* Fixed: Active Directory joins now send the machine-account password update to the PDC Emulator, fixing 'Message stream modified' failures. [ QSTOR-12136 ]
* Fixed: leaving an Active Directory domain now updates the web UI immediately instead of still showing the old domain. [ QSTOR-12153 ]
* Changed: the Active Directory join dialog now labels its two ID-range sections distinctly so it's clear which is being edited. [ QSTOR-12154 ]


* Fixed an issue with the description not being set for custom named snapshots [ QSTOR-7316 ]
Service Core
* Add the ability to rename shares even when snapshots are present.  [ QSTOR-7313 ]
* Memory optimization for grid event handling. [ QSTOR-12112 ]
* Added logic to Error out Network Share modify when quota value is lower than the current used or reserved by the Network Share. [ QSTOR-7264 ]
* Disabled 'Create File Stubs/ Links' checkbox in Create Backup Policy dialog when it is not applicable. [ QSTOR-7257 ]
* Fixed an issue where the back up policy create and modify dialog was not updating the description field. [ QSTOR-7244 ]


Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies
Upgrade Manager and Installer
* Add the ability to create replication from an existing snapshot for a network share or a volume. Useful when share/volume is replicated to two different systems. [ QSTOR-7308 ]
* The upgrade system now fetches and verifies the latest OSNEXUS package signing key before applying updates. [ QSTOR-9551 ]
* Fix minor issue with Backup Policy Modify not retaining the remote export path. [ QSTOR-7259 ]
* Fixed EL8 upgrades pinning a stale awscli/qstoraws package version from the RedHat repository. [ QSTOR-11991 ]
* Fixed a minor truncation issue with backup policy dialog. [ QSTOR-7248 ]
* In-place Ceph upgrades now install the shipped Ceph 20.2.2 release instead of an older pinned version. [ QSTOR-11998 ]
* Fixed an issue with backup policy move files where the source files do not get deleted. [ QSTOR-7243 ]
* Fixed a grafana-enterprise package upgrade failure that could leave dpkg in a held state during upgrades from 6.8.1. [ QSTOR-12075 ]
* Updated the Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade configuration to the shipped kernel and Ceph 20.2.2 versions. [ QSTOR-12077 ]

* Fixed: platform distribution upgrades keep Ceph pinned at its current version. [ QSTOR-11955 ]
* Added: qs-distupgrade requires all Ceph nodes on the latest offered Ceph version (--skip-check-ceph-latest to override). [ QSTOR-11958 ]
* Fixed: coordinated Ceph upgrades restart all RGW daemons on hosts running multiple RGW services. [ QSTOR-11983 ]
* Fixed: a 6.8.0-only issue where service-driven package upgrades reported success without installing anything. [ QSTOR-11992 ]


* Fixed: Minor UI change to block storage volume create on Ceph Object Storage Pool. [ QSTOR-7275 ]
* Fixed: Updated the UI for volume group clone to show appropriate errors when destination pool is not compatible with the storage volumes in the volume group. [ QSTOR-7274 ]

* Fixed the Network Interface Rename feature on systems upgraded from older releases where the 'ip' command resides in a different path. [ QSTOR-11614 ]
* Fixed: converting a local VIF to an HA VIF now preserves the original local interface if the conversion fails, so client connectivity isn't lost. [ QSTOR-11706 ]


Network Shares
Network Shares
* Moved the samba acl\_xattr:ignoresystemacls from the Windows Extended ACLs option to a new 'Ignore System ACLs' option in the create and modify share dialogs. Ignore System ACLs should only be used for pure Windows SMB clients. [ QSTOR-7182 ]
* Add the ability to specify per user or group permissions on Network Shares during create or modify [ QSTOR-10662 ]
* Added protections to block modification of share permissions for cloud container shares as this is not supported. [ QSTOR-7147 ]
* Fixed: intermittent 'NFS server not responding' stalls under load by raising the nfsd listen backlog from 64 to 4096. [ QSTOR-10872 ]
* Fixed a truncation issue in the Network Share dialogs where the Quota Size Units could be cropped. [ QSTOR-6627 ]

* Snapshot schedule now shows the state detail when schedule is disabled by user. [ QSTOR-11717 ]
* The Snapshot Schedule properties page now displays Retention Tags. [ QSTOR-11719 ]
* Changed: Auto-tier backup policies now display as 'Auto-Tier >> Outbound' instead of 'Move >> Outbound'. [ QSTOR-11764 ]
* Fixed the CLI replication-schedule rollback so volume and share names are accepted (not just IDs), and rolling back only volumes (or only shares) no longer also rolls back the other type. [ QSTOR-11814 ]


Quantastor CLI
SCSI / NVMe Target
* Update QS CLI for Windows. [ QSTOR-7129 ]
* Added: a 'Select Initiator...' picker in the Add Host dialog to choose a discovered FC remote initiator WWPN instead of typing it. [ QSTOR-10741 ]
* Renamed the sys-list 'Firmware Version' column to 'SCSI Target Version' and corrected the value to show the actual SCST target-driver version (e.g. scst-3.10.0.qs01-...) instead of the literal 'scst-SCST'. [ QSTOR-11854 ]
 
Security
* Added support for Okta multi-factor authentication. [ QSTOR-9399 ]
* Added Multi-Admin Approval support, allowing deletion of pools, buckets, shares, and volumes to require approval from a configurable number of administrators. [ QSTOR-11344 ]
* Fixed certificate update failures when using a certificate template, and ensured dependent services (such as HAProxy and RGW) are restarted after a certificate replacement. [ QSTOR-11678 ]
* Fixed an issue in the Security Manager dialog where it was showing the "password policy change" warning confirmation when no fields were changed. [ QSTOR-11708 ]
* InfluxDB (port 8086) now requires authentication and binds to localhost by default; remote access is opt-in via the tf_influxdb_remote_access.enable touchfile (authentication still enforced). [ QSTOR-11759 ]
* Added the Ubuntu security apt repositories to the default package sources and removed unused bundled components flagged by scanning (Chronograf, the LXD/core20/snapd snaps, the docker-scan plugin), clearing CVE-2024-41110, CVE-2026-34177/-34178/-34179, CVE-2020-14343, CVE-2025-68121, and CVE-2024-45337. [ QSTOR-11760 ]
* Rebuilt the bundled QuantaStor Go tools (qs_iofence, qs_pool_export_helper, qs_diskinfo) and s5cmd with a current Go toolchain, clearing CVE-2025-68121, CVE-2024-45337, CVE-2024-24790, CVE-2023-24540, and CVE-2023-24538. [ QSTOR-11761 ]
* Hardened the internal QuantaStor script service (scriptsvc): removed a command-injection vector in request handling and now enforce the service's authorization check on every call. Addresses ZDI-CAN-30036 [ QSTOR-11799 ]
* Made a number of usability and reliability improvements to the multi-admin delete-approval workflow. [ QSTOR-11804 ]


SNMP
Service Core
* Updated SNMP MIB for 5.6.2 [ QSTOR-7166 ]
* Fix tag-set where custom key/value tags were not appearing for User objects. [ QSTOR-11528 ]
* Improved Ceph OSD daemon restart handling during upgrades and reduced database load on large-scale clusters. [ QSTOR-11675 ]
* Fixed an issue with QuantaStor management service memory usage when a grid node was offline. [ QSTOR-11693 ]
* Improved crash handling and diagnostic tracing for coordinated tasks, during operations such as adding a Ceph RADOS Gateway across multiple nodes. [ QSTOR-11702 ]
* Improved logging and error checking for QuantaStor configuration database backups, including capturing error output when a backup fails. [ QSTOR-11742 ]
* Expanded diagnostic log collection to capture additional network routing details (ip route output and static-route configuration). [ QSTOR-11748 ]
* Fixed the Sessions view showing stale SMB/NFS client sessions that lingered after a reboot; the share session monitor now forces a full re-sync on its first poll after startup so sessions left over from before the reboot are cleared. [ QSTOR-11757 ]
* Fixed a self-sustaining grid event flood triggered when creating CephFS/CIFS network shares at scale: nodes no longer re-cache remote-origin (sync-applied) events, and CIFS options are diff-merged to secondaries, eliminating the event resync cascade. [ QSTOR-11785 ]
* qs-sendlogs now writes a qs_logs.runtime.info file recording the options and variables used during log collection, and reliably scrubs sensitive data from the collected database. [ QSTOR-11897 ]


Storage Pool Management
Storage Pool Management
* Fixed an issue with mdadm management of Ceph Journal groups that use the new LVM RAID1 mirroring for ceph Journals. [ QSTOR-7159 ]
* Added automated ordered-disk-list pool creation for Seagate Corvault and WD Data24 systems, simplifying creation of fully redundant storage pools. [ QSTOR-11538 ]
* Added an Enclosure view panel to the Storage Pool section of the WebUI for ZFS Storage Pools. [ QSTOR-7110 ]
* Fixed software-encrypted pool creation so a disk block-size mismatch is detected before disks are encrypted, avoiding leftover encryption mappings. [ QSTOR-11599 ]
* ZFS deduplication now uses the faster fast_dedup mode by default, improving sustained deduplication performance. [ QSTOR-11714 ]
* When a LUKS-encrypted disk member of a pool momentarily goes offline and the hot-spare swap-in completes, if the "bad" disk in question has in the meantime come back online, its iofence status, encryption status and its related properties in its respective disk object are cleared up, making the disk available for use again. [ QSTOR-11738 ]
* Resolved a boot-time race where the OS-level zfs-import-cache.service could import ZFS pools before qs_service started. QuantaStor now imports pools with cachefile=none, masks the zfs-import-cache and zfs-import-scan services on install and upgrade, and clears the stale global ZFS cache file at boot, ensuring QuantaStor remains the sole coordinator of pool imports. [ QSTOR-11752 ]
* Add the ability to create a Storage Pool checkpoint for scale-up pools [ QSTOR-11784 ]
* Added a support-only, touchfile-gated pool-export triage call-out (qs_pool_export_triage.sh) that gathers diagnostics when a share or volume is still open during a storage pool export. Off by default (enabled via the tf_pool_export_triage.enable touchfile). [ QSTOR-11807 ]
* Resolved issue preventing HA failover functionality using SED drives. [ QSTOR-11832 ]


Upgrade Manager and Installer
Upgrade Manager and Installer
* Fixed an issue where the Upgrade task for Core Service upgrades would report as failed when it actually succeeded. [ QSTOR-7180 ]
* Added retry logic with a timeout to the Ceph upgrade script's daemon restarts so transient restart failures no longer abort the upgrade. [ QSTOR-10598 ]
* Fixed focal-to-jammy distribution upgrades leaving the HA cluster service (pcsd/pacemaker) inoperative due to a missing ruby-webrick dependency on Ruby 3.0+. The upgrade now installs ruby-webrick so HA failover keeps working. [ QSTOR-11841 ]
* Fixed focal-to-jammy distribution upgrades that could abort and roll back when Ubuntu's unattended-upgrades/apt-daily held the apt lock or needrestart blocked on a prompt. QuantaStor now disables automatic apt upgrades and runs the distribution upgrade non-interactively. [ QSTOR-11874 ]
* Fixed a Noble (24.04) upgrade failure where qs-upgrade aborted because the dpkg package version string could not be parsed. QuantaStor now compares Debian package versions using dpkg's native version ordering. [ QSTOR-11881 ]


Web Manager
Web Manager
* Fix a minor issue with the WEB UI not handling the quota size with upper case size units e.g. (GB / GIB). [ QSTOR-7172 ]
* Minor fix to the "Copy to Clipboard" for task descriptions [ QSTOR-9574 ]
* Add Ceph Data and Coding Block Numeric Field Slider support to the Create Zone Dialog [ QSTOR-7086 ]
* Added a method field and a sortable timestamp column to the web interface Audit Log Analyzer. [ QSTOR-11191 ]
* Updated web interface translations across the major supported languages. [ QSTOR-11585 ]
* Added a 'Create Share' option to the share template menu to quickly create a share applying all of a template's settings. [ QSTOR-11595 ]
* Fixed the web interface to display all configured Ceph MDS daemons instead of limiting the list to five. [ QSTOR-11615 ]
* Add auto select convenience buttons to the Storage Volume multi-delete dialog. [ QSTOR-11707 ]

===Release Notes===
=== Release Notes ===


Alerts and Configuration Analysis
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
* Eliminated daily Ceph monitor outage on coordinator nodes caused by the mon-db backup process; the backup now uses a RocksDB compaction flush and hot-copy so the monitor service remains running throughout, and backup activity is now logged to qs_service.log. [ QSTOR-11655 ]


* Adds 'External Host (FQDN)' option for customizing the system URL in call-home alerts [ QSTOR-6751 ]
Enclosures and Controllers
* New CLI command 'alert-clear' where you can clear an alert or a set of alerts based on a filter string. [ QSTOR-6863 ]
* Fixed issue regarding hwController/hwEnclosure double discovery caused by the presence of certain Dell HBA cards that are visible to both the storcli and perccli CLI tools. [ QSTOR-11372 ]


Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

* Added the Ceph Dashboard to the OSD and Journal section of the Web UI. [ QSTOR-6885 ]
* Changes Ceph Journal creation to prefer LVM based RAID1 mirror by default for DB/Wal device creation. DB and Wal is provisioned based on OSD creation and user specified DB/Wal size. This replaces the previous pre-defined set number of partitions at Journal create time. [ QSTOR-6781 ]
* SSD based OSDs by default have DB/Wal on the same disk as the OSD data, but can be forced to use external Wal/SSD devices (such as Intel Optane PMEM or other fast memory technology) with the new 'Force use of external Journal Devices even with SSD based OSDs' option in the Advanced settings tab of the 'Multi-OSD and Journal Create' dialog. [ QSTOR-6781 ]

Change Log Overview

The change log contains a detailed summary of the changes made for each new release of QuantaStor. Each change made to QuantaStor is tracked with an engineering ticket number in the form [QSTOR-NNNN]. This information is provided so that if you're working with OSNexus support you can track the availability of a given product feature add, improvement, or maintenance fix to a specific release. For information on how to upgrade your storage system please see the Upgrade Guide.

Versioning System

QuantaStor version numbers consist of four (4) parts. A major number (M), minor number (N), maintenance update number (U) and build number (B) of the form M.N.U.B such as 6.0.2.006.

QuantaStor upgrades go directly from whatever version you are running to the latest version, with no interim steps so for example if you are at v6.0.1 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v6.1.2

Product Update Types

Major Updates (X.y.z)

If the first digit in the version number has changed this indicates a major product release such as QuantaStor v5 to QuantaStor v6. Major releases generally come with a new underlying Linux platform as the basis. For example, the standard ISO install for QuantaStor v5 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 whereas QuantaStor v6 is based on Ubuntu 20.04. Major product releases generally include new features and maintenance updates and are supported on multiple underlying Linux platforms. For example, QuantaStor v6 is available as an upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 based systems as well as RHEL and RHEL derivative platforms. Platform upgrades to move systems forward (eg 18.04 to 20.04) are made generally available in the first feature update release, such as QuantaStor 6.1.

Feature Updates (x.Y.z)

If the second digit in the version number has changed this indicates a feature release such as 6.1 going to 6.2. Feature releases add new product features as well as a maintenance updates. No additional licensing is required to access any new features that added but note that QuantaStor licenses do not include licenses for 3rd party products and services that may integrate with QuantaStor.

Maintenance Updates (x.y.Z)

If the third digit of the version number has changed this such as 6.0.2 or 6.0.3 it represents a maintenance update to address one or more support tickets. These updates generally do not contain new features, only fixes to address specific issues. Maintenance releases generally ship every 4 to 8 weeks. All maintenance "aka hot-fix" releases are provided against the current stable release so upgrading to the latest QuantaStor version is generally required to apply them.

Build Number (x.y.z.BBB)

The build number and corresponding build reference hash can be largely ignored. The build number simply increments with each commit that is made to the source tree. The hash is provided to make it easier for OSNEXUS support and engineering to quickly confirm difference between your current running release and any more modern release.

v6.8.6.015 (September 14th 2026)

Upgrade Instructions

Release Notes

Alerts and Configuration Analysis

  • Fixed: disk health WARNING states detected through storcli2 or SMART now raise a Disk Health alert (email/SNMP) instead of only showing in the Physical Disks view. [ QSTOR-12144 ]

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

  • Fixed: Scale-out Storage Cluster creation now works on routed fabrics where the selected member ports share no common subnet. [ QSTOR-12484 ]

Enclosures and Controllers

  • Fixed: garbled or incomplete storcli output is now treated as unreliable instead of marking controllers and disks as missing. [ QSTOR-12118 ]

Network Shares

  • Fixed: HA VIF SMB authentication in Kerberos-only Active Directory environments. [ QSTOR-11685 ]

Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies

  • Fixed the replication-schedule volume picker so it no longer hides eligible volumes whose owning node changed after an HA failover. [ QSTOR-11775 ]
  • Fixed problem with backup job cancel not stopping the process. [ QSTOR-11877 ]

SCSI / NVMe Target

  • Fixed: network ports with iSCSI/NVMe-oF disabled are never exposed as allowed iSCSI portals, including after a service restart. [ QSTOR-12330 ]

Storage Pool Management

  • Fixed: the service no longer runs zpool status -v on the startup import path, so a pool with many data errors no longer blocks service startup. [ QSTOR-11654 ]
  • Fixed: the QuantaStor service starts after multipathd so pools with many multipath devices no longer start degraded at boot. [ QSTOR-12108 ]
  • Fixed: a degraded pool's missing or faulted devices now stay visible in the Storage Pool Devices view with their state instead of disappearing from the list. [ QSTOR-12109 ]

Upgrade Manager and Installer

  • Fixed: the el8 install no longer fails on the retired ipmiutil package. [ QSTOR-12257 ]
  • Fixed: ISO images now carry the Ubuntu security updates for packages that reach the ISO only as dependencies. [ QSTOR-12259 ]
  • Fixed: focal installs trust the current OSNEXUS repository signing key, so package upgrades from the public repository work. [ QSTOR-12274 ]
  • Fixed: core-only upgrades now refresh the qstorkeyring package so repository trust updates reach every upgrade path. [ QSTOR-12280 ]
  • Fixed: the install scripts trust only the current OSNEXUS repository signing keys instead of importing the published keyring wholesale. [ QSTOR-12293 ]

Web Manager

  • Fixed: logging out of the web interface as a non-default administrator or non-admin user no longer logs a false authentication failure or raises spurious 'User Authentication Failed' alerts. [ QSTOR-11701 ]

v6.8.5.018 (August 19th 2026)

Upgrade Instructions

Click here for instructions on upgrading to QuantaStor v6.8.5.

Release Notes

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

  • Fixed: RGW auto-tiering rules now apply to tenant-scoped buckets; the tiering script is installed for every tenant instead of only the default one. [ QSTOR-12223 ]
  • Added: auto-tiering rules can now be scoped to a tenant from the web interface and CLI - all tenants, buckets outside any tenant, or a named tenant. [ QSTOR-12225 ]
  • Changed: named-tenant matching is now exact ('sc2' no longer also matches 'sc2_prod'); no rule created in the web interface could carry a named tenant before this change, so no existing configuration is affected. [ QSTOR-12225 ]

Enclosures and Controllers

  • Fixed: Supermicro SC846 and SC847 enclosures reporting vendor SMC now match their JBOD layout profile instead of logging a layout detection failure on every discovery cycle. [ QSTOR-11947 ]
  • Fixed: disks could remain displayed under a 9600-series HBA after the attached storage was removed, because a successful-but-empty discovery result was treated as a command failure and the disk list was never refreshed. [ QSTOR-12036 ]

Network Shares

  • Fixed: Active Directory user and group lookups no longer fail intermittently where a domain controller address reverse-resolves to a name other than the controller own name. [ QSTOR-12214 ]
  • Added: a domain-join option that disables reverse DNS canonicalization and sends user and group lookups to every pinned domain controller. [ QSTOR-12214 ]
  • Fixed: an Active Directory user/group search now reports why it could not run, instead of always blaming a trusted-domain search filter. [ QSTOR-12216 ]

Service Core

  • Fixed a qs_service crash under sustained DB connection pool exhaustion on large Ceph/S3 grids by serializing and capping overflow connection creation. [ QSTOR-11580 ]
  • Fixed: a task that failed to resume after a service restart could block every other task from resuming. [ QSTOR-12218 ]
  • Fixed: the task resume limit was not enforced for some task types, so a task that could never finish was retried on every service start. [ QSTOR-12218 ]

Storage Pool Management

  • Added capability to simulate Corvault configurations in order to test pool configurations for redundancy. [ QSTOR-11945 ]

Upgrade Manager and Installer

  • Fixed: a storage system upgrade task could stop resuming after the second service restart, leaving a completed upgrade reported as stuck at 30%. [ QSTOR-12177 ]
  • Fixed: leftover upgrade progress files were never purged, so a finished upgrade could keep reporting stale progress. [ QSTOR-12219 ]
  • Fixed: 6.8.4 ISO and OVA images were missing qstortomcat, qstorrest, qstoraws and qstorbase, which left the web interface unavailable after an offline install. The images have been rebuilt. [ QSTOR-12237 ]
  • Added: an ISO build now fails if a package it declares is absent, so an incomplete image cannot ship. [ QSTOR-12237 ]

v6.8.4.038 (August 13th 2026)

Upgrade Instructions

Click here for instructions on upgrading to QuantaStor v6.8.4.

Release Notes

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

  • Fixed an issue where the Ceph Cluster Coordinator role could become stuck on one node. The automatic fallback election methods (grid-primary, site-primary, mon-rank) were not taking effect, so when no designated coordinator was set, coordinatorship never moved (e.g. after changing the grid master). Automatic coordinator election now works correctly; explicitly designated coordinators were unaffected. [ QSTOR-12194 ]

Dashboards and Analytics

  • Fixed the Ceph RGW dashboard on Ceph Tentacle so it correctly reports throughput/latency when transferring files to a bucket. [ QSTOR-11803 ]

High Availability Failover

  • Fixed the script to set the device reservation ability on WD Openflex Data24 [ QSTOR-12117 ]
  • Fixed site cluster heartbeat rings so each ring keeps its own network address and member list. Previously the rings of a multi-ring site collapsed into a single entry with no subnet shown. [ QSTOR-12159 ]

Network Shares

  • Adds an explicit domain controller to the GSSAPI ldapsearch for Active Directory user and group lookups, fixing intermittent failures on multi-controller domains. Domain joins also wait longer for a busy controller. [ QSTOR-11939 ]
  • Added a cleanup-only mode to the Active Directory leave operation that reverts the local domain configuration without contacting the domain controller, for recovering from a failed or partial leave. [ QSTOR-12058 ]
  • Fixed: SMB/DFS network share namespace referrals now advertise all of an appliance's reachable addresses rather than just one, so clients on any subnet can reach the share. [ QSTOR-12107 ]
  • Fixed per-user share permissions so an existing entry with no recorded read/write/execute setting is treated as full access rather than no access. Modifying a share no longer rewrites ACLs when no permission actually changed. [ QSTOR-12113 ]
  • Fixed Active Directory joins in SSSD-only mode against Windows Server 2025 domain controllers, which previously failed to set the machine account password. [ QSTOR-12141 ]
  • Fixed placeholder values such as None, null or undefined sent by API clients being written into the Samba configuration, which stopped Samba loading the file and took SMB access down for every share on the node. [ QSTOR-12152 ]
  • Fixed the Active Directory leave hanging when the PDC Emulator is offline. The leave now completes within a bounded timeout and reverts the local configuration. [ QSTOR-12161 ]

v6.8.3.018 (August 6th 2026)

Upgrade Instructions

Click here for instructions on upgrading to QuantaStor v6.8.3.

Release Notes

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

  • Creating or removing a Ceph object storage class now commits the RGW period so it takes effect immediately. [ QSTOR-11938 ]
  • A failed bucket enumeration is no longer treated as an empty list, which could silently drop bucket configuration. [ QSTOR-12130 ]
  • Ceph object pool group creation now commits the RGW period, fixing persistent RGW realm/master-zone errors. [ QSTOR-12132 ]

Network Shares

  • Fixed Active Directory join failures on domains that use older Kerberos encryption methods. [ QSTOR-11646 ]
  • Changed: Active Directory joins now set 'restrict anonymous = 2' in smb.conf to block unauthenticated SID/RID enumeration. [ QSTOR-11834 ]
  • Fixed: Active Directory joins no longer fail when the computer-account OU contains a space. [ QSTOR-11895 ]
  • Fixed: Active Directory joins no longer disable SASL signing in the system-wide ldap.conf. [ QSTOR-11926 ]
  • Added a 'Skip DNS registration' option to the Active Directory join dialog, CLI and API for sites whose DNS is managed outside AD. [ QSTOR-12083 ]
  • Fixed a custom autorid Domain Range Size being discarded during an Active Directory join. [ QSTOR-12089 ]
  • The Active Directory KDC field now accepts a comma-separated list of domain controllers for Kerberos failover. [ QSTOR-12091 ]
  • Active Directory joins in SSSD modes no longer force user/group enumeration, which could stall startup on large domains. [ QSTOR-12092 ]
  • Fixed: Active Directory joins now send the machine-account password update to the PDC Emulator, fixing 'Message stream modified' failures. [ QSTOR-12136 ]
  • Fixed: leaving an Active Directory domain now updates the web UI immediately instead of still showing the old domain. [ QSTOR-12153 ]
  • Changed: the Active Directory join dialog now labels its two ID-range sections distinctly so it's clear which is being edited. [ QSTOR-12154 ]

Service Core

  • Memory optimization for grid event handling. [ QSTOR-12112 ]

Upgrade Manager and Installer

  • The upgrade system now fetches and verifies the latest OSNEXUS package signing key before applying updates. [ QSTOR-9551 ]
  • Fixed EL8 upgrades pinning a stale awscli/qstoraws package version from the RedHat repository. [ QSTOR-11991 ]
  • In-place Ceph upgrades now install the shipped Ceph 20.2.2 release instead of an older pinned version. [ QSTOR-11998 ]
  • Fixed a grafana-enterprise package upgrade failure that could leave dpkg in a held state during upgrades from 6.8.1. [ QSTOR-12075 ]
  • Updated the Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade configuration to the shipped kernel and Ceph 20.2.2 versions. [ QSTOR-12077 ]

v6.8.2.002 (July 24th 2026)

Release Notes

Network Shares

  • Fixed: AD groups could not be added to a Network Share ACL in Winbind+SSSD mode (group@DOMAIN form could not be resolved). [ QSTOR-12025 ]


v6.8.1.007 (July 18th 2026)

Upgrade Instructions

Click here for instructions on upgrading to QuantaStor v6.8.1.

Release Notes

Upgrade Manager and Installer

  • Fixed: platform upgrades remove the obsolete linux-tools-common package that could trigger security alerts. [ QSTOR-10314 ]
  • Changed: qs-distupgrade output is timestamped and includes a pre-upgrade configuration report. [ QSTOR-11632 ]
  • Added: platform distribution upgrade (qs-distupgrade) from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. [ QSTOR-11651 ]
  • Added: non-interactive flags for qs-distupgrade enabling fully unattended platform upgrades with automatic reboot. Use the qs-distupgrade --help to review the available usage options. [ QSTOR-11918 ]
  • Fixed: platform distribution upgrades keep Ceph pinned at its current version. [ QSTOR-11955 ]
  • Added: qs-distupgrade requires all Ceph nodes on the latest offered Ceph version (--skip-check-ceph-latest to override). [ QSTOR-11958 ]
  • Fixed: coordinated Ceph upgrades restart all RGW daemons on hosts running multiple RGW services. [ QSTOR-11983 ]
  • Fixed: a 6.8.0-only issue where service-driven package upgrades reported success without installing anything. [ QSTOR-11992 ]




v6.8.0.205 (July 8th 2026)

Upgrade Instructions

  • Allow users to have a subset of alert subscriptions. [ QSTOR-11683 ]

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

  • Added an 'Enable Versioning' checkbox to the Create Bucket dialog (automatically enabled when object locking or governance/compliance is selected); versioning can also be enabled on existing buckets. [ QSTOR-10937 ]
  • Added Ceph Tentacle 20.2.2 support to the Jammy QuantaStor ISO and package mirror. [ QSTOR-11441 ]
  • QuantaStor 6.8 ships Ceph 20.2.2 (Tentacle), which includes the upstream MDS fix (tracker #76031) for the SIGABRT/crash on client eviction caused by a null MDRequestRef under sustained metadata contention. [ QSTOR-11504 ]
  • The Ceph Tentacle 20.2.2 release resolves frequent radosgw (RGW) crashes related to Kafka bucket notifications. [ QSTOR-11687 ]
  • Fix ceph bucket delete with large number of objects timing out. [ QSTOR-11728 ]
  • Removed: the deprecated S3 bucket orphan-object cleanup feature; any existing scheduled task is disabled automatically on upgrade. [ QSTOR-11729 ]
  • Fixed a regression where deleting multiple Ceph (RBD) volumes at once on a multi-node cluster would fail after the first volume. [ QSTOR-11756 ]
  • Added support for major-version Ceph upgrades (through Tentacle 20.2.x) in the upgrade script. [ QSTOR-11762 ]
  • Increase the timeout for "Add Node" to a ceph cluster [ QSTOR-11906 ]

Dashboards and Analytics

  • Added: a 'qs-statsdb resetpassword' command to rotate the InfluxDB stats password; telegraf is updated in lockstep so dashboards keep working. [ QSTOR-11170 ]
  • Rebuilt bundled telegraf with its vendored rclone library updated to 1.74.3, clearing CVE-2026-41176 and CVE-2026-41179. [ QSTOR-11771 ]

Enclosures and Controllers

  • Fixed issue with "disappearing" enclosures [ QSTOR-11676 ]
  • Added support for the Supermicro SSG-222B-NE3X24R all-NVMe server, including hardware enclosure auto-detection, enclosure layout and diagram, and NVMe drive slot mapping in the QuantaStor web management interface. [ QSTOR-11712 ]

High Availability Failover

  • Add logging for manually run iofence commands [ QSTOR-11751 ]
  • Fixed HA pool failover persisting a stale size=0 / isMounted=false when the pool's datasets were still mounting during fast-import; the last-known-good size and mount state are now preserved (and the corrected record wins via a bumped modified timestamp). [ QSTOR-11818 ]
  • Fixed: Storage Pool HA io-fencing and failover now work over NVMe-TCP; target namespaces advertise persistent reservations. [ QSTOR-11850 ]

Kernel and Drivers

  • Updated Jammy platform Kernel to 6.8.0-90-generic [ QSTOR-10903 ]
  • Updated Jammy platform ZFS driver to 2.3.5 [ QSTOR-10903 ]
  • Updated Jammy platform SCST driver to 3.10 [ QSTOR-10903 ]
  • Updated Jammy platform mpi3mr driver to 8.15.1.0.0 [ QSTOR-10903 ]

Multitenancy

  • Added RBD namespace support, allowing multiple tenants to share a single Ceph block pool with isolated volumes. [ QSTOR-11650 ]

NAS Gateway / Cloud Containers

  • Add a fix for Samba access to Cloud Container shares. [ QSTOR-11763 ]
  • Fixed: cloud containers are now accessible over SMB, not just NFS. [ QSTOR-11824 ]
  • Updated the bundled AWS CLI to version 2.35.6. [ QSTOR-11827 ]

Network Interfaces

  • Added DOCA OFED install script for jammy and upcoming noble platforms as an optional install for latest hardware. [ QSTOR-11069 ]
  • Fixed the Network Interface Rename feature on systems upgraded from older releases where the 'ip' command resides in a different path. [ QSTOR-11614 ]
  • Fixed: converting a local VIF to an HA VIF now preserves the original local interface if the conversion fails, so client connectivity isn't lost. [ QSTOR-11706 ]

Network Shares

  • Add the ability to specify per user or group permissions on Network Shares during create or modify [ QSTOR-10662 ]
  • Fixed: intermittent 'NFS server not responding' stalls under load by raising the nfsd listen backlog from 64 to 4096. [ QSTOR-10872 ]
  • Fixed: NFS client entries can now be added or removed on a share while a long-running replication or snapshot task is using it, instead of queuing. [ QSTOR-11571 ]
  • Consolidated the Network Share create/modify dialog's Permission Settings into the File Masks tab — now a single 'File Masks & Permission Settings' tab containing Owner Permission Settings plus the Directory and File Create Permissions Masks. [ QSTOR-11625 ]
  • Reduced excessive event logging (event spam) for network shares and related grid objects. [ QSTOR-11695 ]
  • Fixed handling of CIFS share options so empty/null option values are no longer written to the Samba configuration. [ QSTOR-11731 ]
  • Fixed an issue where an Active Directory group added to a share's permissions was not preserved, and excluded built-in/default AD groups from the group picker. [ QSTOR-11767 ]

Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies

  • Copy source Network Share settings to the destination share after replication. [ QSTOR-5738 ]
  • Add support for rollback of Storage Volumes and Network Shares for a replication schedule [ QSTOR-6227 ]
  • Minor updates to the auto snapshot cleanup tasks for replication schedules. [ QSTOR-11622 ]
  • Fix auto create of replication association after failover [ QSTOR-11700 ]
  • Snapshot schedule now shows the state detail when schedule is disabled by user. [ QSTOR-11717 ]
  • The Snapshot Schedule properties page now displays Retention Tags. [ QSTOR-11719 ]
  • Changed: Auto-tier backup policies now display as 'Auto-Tier >> Outbound' instead of 'Move >> Outbound'. [ QSTOR-11764 ]
  • Fixed the CLI replication-schedule rollback so volume and share names are accepted (not just IDs), and rolling back only volumes (or only shares) no longer also rolls back the other type. [ QSTOR-11814 ]

SCSI / NVMe Target

  • Added: a 'Select Initiator...' picker in the Add Host dialog to choose a discovered FC remote initiator WWPN instead of typing it. [ QSTOR-10741 ]
  • Renamed the sys-list 'Firmware Version' column to 'SCSI Target Version' and corrected the value to show the actual SCST target-driver version (e.g. scst-3.10.0.qs01-...) instead of the literal 'scst-SCST'. [ QSTOR-11854 ]

Security

  • Added support for Okta multi-factor authentication. [ QSTOR-9399 ]
  • Added Multi-Admin Approval support, allowing deletion of pools, buckets, shares, and volumes to require approval from a configurable number of administrators. [ QSTOR-11344 ]
  • Fixed certificate update failures when using a certificate template, and ensured dependent services (such as HAProxy and RGW) are restarted after a certificate replacement. [ QSTOR-11678 ]
  • Fixed an issue in the Security Manager dialog where it was showing the "password policy change" warning confirmation when no fields were changed. [ QSTOR-11708 ]
  • InfluxDB (port 8086) now requires authentication and binds to localhost by default; remote access is opt-in via the tf_influxdb_remote_access.enable touchfile (authentication still enforced). [ QSTOR-11759 ]
  • Added the Ubuntu security apt repositories to the default package sources and removed unused bundled components flagged by scanning (Chronograf, the LXD/core20/snapd snaps, the docker-scan plugin), clearing CVE-2024-41110, CVE-2026-34177/-34178/-34179, CVE-2020-14343, CVE-2025-68121, and CVE-2024-45337. [ QSTOR-11760 ]
  • Rebuilt the bundled QuantaStor Go tools (qs_iofence, qs_pool_export_helper, qs_diskinfo) and s5cmd with a current Go toolchain, clearing CVE-2025-68121, CVE-2024-45337, CVE-2024-24790, CVE-2023-24540, and CVE-2023-24538. [ QSTOR-11761 ]
  • Hardened the internal QuantaStor script service (scriptsvc): removed a command-injection vector in request handling and now enforce the service's authorization check on every call. Addresses ZDI-CAN-30036 [ QSTOR-11799 ]
  • Made a number of usability and reliability improvements to the multi-admin delete-approval workflow. [ QSTOR-11804 ]

Service Core

  • Fix tag-set where custom key/value tags were not appearing for User objects. [ QSTOR-11528 ]
  • Improved Ceph OSD daemon restart handling during upgrades and reduced database load on large-scale clusters. [ QSTOR-11675 ]
  • Fixed an issue with QuantaStor management service memory usage when a grid node was offline. [ QSTOR-11693 ]
  • Improved crash handling and diagnostic tracing for coordinated tasks, during operations such as adding a Ceph RADOS Gateway across multiple nodes. [ QSTOR-11702 ]
  • Improved logging and error checking for QuantaStor configuration database backups, including capturing error output when a backup fails. [ QSTOR-11742 ]
  • Expanded diagnostic log collection to capture additional network routing details (ip route output and static-route configuration). [ QSTOR-11748 ]
  • Fixed the Sessions view showing stale SMB/NFS client sessions that lingered after a reboot; the share session monitor now forces a full re-sync on its first poll after startup so sessions left over from before the reboot are cleared. [ QSTOR-11757 ]
  • Fixed a self-sustaining grid event flood triggered when creating CephFS/CIFS network shares at scale: nodes no longer re-cache remote-origin (sync-applied) events, and CIFS options are diff-merged to secondaries, eliminating the event resync cascade. [ QSTOR-11785 ]
  • qs-sendlogs now writes a qs_logs.runtime.info file recording the options and variables used during log collection, and reliably scrubs sensitive data from the collected database. [ QSTOR-11897 ]

Storage Pool Management

  • Added automated ordered-disk-list pool creation for Seagate Corvault and WD Data24 systems, simplifying creation of fully redundant storage pools. [ QSTOR-11538 ]
  • Fixed software-encrypted pool creation so a disk block-size mismatch is detected before disks are encrypted, avoiding leftover encryption mappings. [ QSTOR-11599 ]
  • ZFS deduplication now uses the faster fast_dedup mode by default, improving sustained deduplication performance. [ QSTOR-11714 ]
  • When a LUKS-encrypted disk member of a pool momentarily goes offline and the hot-spare swap-in completes, if the "bad" disk in question has in the meantime come back online, its iofence status, encryption status and its related properties in its respective disk object are cleared up, making the disk available for use again. [ QSTOR-11738 ]
  • Resolved a boot-time race where the OS-level zfs-import-cache.service could import ZFS pools before qs_service started. QuantaStor now imports pools with cachefile=none, masks the zfs-import-cache and zfs-import-scan services on install and upgrade, and clears the stale global ZFS cache file at boot, ensuring QuantaStor remains the sole coordinator of pool imports. [ QSTOR-11752 ]
  • Add the ability to create a Storage Pool checkpoint for scale-up pools [ QSTOR-11784 ]
  • Added a support-only, touchfile-gated pool-export triage call-out (qs_pool_export_triage.sh) that gathers diagnostics when a share or volume is still open during a storage pool export. Off by default (enabled via the tf_pool_export_triage.enable touchfile). [ QSTOR-11807 ]
  • Resolved issue preventing HA failover functionality using SED drives. [ QSTOR-11832 ]

Upgrade Manager and Installer

  • Added retry logic with a timeout to the Ceph upgrade script's daemon restarts so transient restart failures no longer abort the upgrade. [ QSTOR-10598 ]
  • Fixed focal-to-jammy distribution upgrades leaving the HA cluster service (pcsd/pacemaker) inoperative due to a missing ruby-webrick dependency on Ruby 3.0+. The upgrade now installs ruby-webrick so HA failover keeps working. [ QSTOR-11841 ]
  • Fixed focal-to-jammy distribution upgrades that could abort and roll back when Ubuntu's unattended-upgrades/apt-daily held the apt lock or needrestart blocked on a prompt. QuantaStor now disables automatic apt upgrades and runs the distribution upgrade non-interactively. [ QSTOR-11874 ]
  • Fixed a Noble (24.04) upgrade failure where qs-upgrade aborted because the dpkg package version string could not be parsed. QuantaStor now compares Debian package versions using dpkg's native version ordering. [ QSTOR-11881 ]

Web Manager

  • Minor fix to the "Copy to Clipboard" for task descriptions [ QSTOR-9574 ]
  • Added a method field and a sortable timestamp column to the web interface Audit Log Analyzer. [ QSTOR-11191 ]
  • Updated web interface translations across the major supported languages. [ QSTOR-11585 ]
  • Added a 'Create Share' option to the share template menu to quickly create a share applying all of a template's settings. [ QSTOR-11595 ]
  • Fixed the web interface to display all configured Ceph MDS daemons instead of limiting the list to five. [ QSTOR-11615 ]
  • Add auto select convenience buttons to the Storage Volume multi-delete dialog. [ QSTOR-11707 ]
