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 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 5.8.2.006.
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 v5.6 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v5.8.

==== Major Version Number ====
== Product Update Types ==
QuantaStor v5.x is the current Major release version.


Upgrading from QuantaStor 4.x releases requires a small window of downtime depending on the configuration, inline with kernel and security updates.
==== 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.


Legacy upgrades from older versions (older than 3.x), requires exporting Storage Pools, reloading the OS with QuantaStor 5.x install media, and then importing the storage pools and performing a restore of the configuration database using the [[Storage System Recovery Manager]].
==== 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.


==== Minor Version Number ====
==== Maintenance 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.  
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.


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", and we recommend that you find an appropriate maintenance window in which to apply the upgrade.
==== Build Number (x.y.z.BBB) ====
 
In general, reboots are only required when the qstortarget package has been upgraded. If you see that a new version of that package is available, know that a reboot will be required to complete the upgrade.
 
==== Maintenance Update ====
If the release includes maintenance version number like 5.8.'''2''' or 5.8.'''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.
 
==== Build Number ====
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.

=== Release Notes ===
=== 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
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
* Added a check to prevent adding a second cephfs configuration to a ceph cluster where one already exists. [ QSTOR-7628 ]
* 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
Upgrade Manager and Installer
* Removed Gluster from QuantaStor Xenial Platform ISO. [ QSTOR-7629 ]
* 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 ]

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
* Changed the Ceph S3 zone metadata pools to use replica = 3 by default when creating a S3 Zone. [ QSTOR-7615 ]
* 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 ]


Hardware Enclosures and Controllers
Enclosures and Controllers
* Added the Enclosure layout for Dell R720 LFF servers. [ QSTOR-7448 ]
* 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 ]


Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies
Network Shares
* Fixed a bug with canceling backup policy jobs. [ QSTOR-7607 ]
* 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 ]
* Fixed: Cancelled backup jobs are now retained and the status reflects that the job was cancelled. [ QSTOR-7607 ]
* 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
Storage Pool Management
* Fixed a rare issue that could cause a service crash when discovering a ZFS Pool in a degraded state. [ QSTOR-7619 ]
* 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 ]

=== 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 ]


Web Manager
Network Shares
* Revised the Physical Disk Copy dialog to filter out PhysicalDisk that are in-use as a possible selected target. [ QSTOR-7613 ]
* 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 ]

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
* Added an additional check that a domain suffix is set when creating a ceph cluster. [ QSTOR-7605 ]
* Creating or removing a Ceph object storage class now commits the RGW period so it takes effect immediately. [ QSTOR-11938 ]
* Fixed an issue where UUID was shown instead of name for some objects in the Data Devices/OSDs grid tab. [ QSTOR-7605 ]
* 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 ]

=== 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 ]


Dashboards and Analytics
* Show the Ceph Pool dashboard for CephFS and S3 Zones. This includes *.rgw.buckets.index and the *.rgw.buckets.data for S3 support as well as *_data and *_metadata pools for CephFS. Pools must be viewed in the Ceph Pool menu area for S3 and CephFS. [ QSTOR-7606 ]


Disk Management
== v6.8.1.007  (July 18th 2026) ==
* Added support for disk / storage volume copy to cloud container. [ QSTOR-7599 ]
* Added the ssdLifeLeft property to the WebUI. If an ssd supports this property it will appear in the properties view as well as in the ssdLifeLeft column(hidden by default) in the central Grid view for the Physical Disk Section. [ QSTOR-7595 ]


Hardware Enclosures and Controllers
=== [[QuantaStor 6.8.1 Upgrade Instructions | Upgrade Instructions]] ===
* Add a name validator to the Add Software Adapter dialog to prevent spaces from being allowed in the name field. [ QSTOR-3105 ]

Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies
=== Release Notes ===
* Cancel backup job now successfully terminates the backup job. [ QSTOR-7600 ]
* Add a Force checkbox to the Delete Backup Policy dialog to be used when there are active backup jobs in progress. [ QSTOR-7301 ]


SNMP
Upgrade Manager and Installer
* Fixed some intermittent issues with SNMP walk. [ QSTOR-7436 ]
* 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 ]


Storage Volumes
* Remove the quota configuration field row from the Storage Volume Modify until supported in the remote modify API. Quota management is supported in the Multitenancy area of WUI. Fix truncation issue in the Create Volume from Tier dialog on the Advanced Tab. [ QSTOR-7596 ]
* Fixed an issue that caused volume used capacity to not update as expected. This fixes a regression introduced in 5.8.0 [ QSTOR-7593 ]


Web Manager
* Enhance the Create Role and Update Role Permissions dialogs to support column filtering on the Object Type column. This new filtering can be used to reduced the number of items in the grid for targeted changes. [ QSTOR-7604 ]

=== Release Highlights ===


Disk Management
== v6.8.0.205  (July 8th 2026) ==
* Major update to the the Physical Disk > Disk Copy feature, which allows raw data copying from a physical disk to another disk, ZFS-based volume or file on a share, or from a ZFS-based volume to a physical disk, volume or share. [ QSTOR-7320 ]


Storage Pool Management
=== [[QuantaStor 6.8.0 Upgrade Instructions | Upgrade Instructions]] ===
* Adds a new "Auto Repair" feature has been implemented. [ QSTOR-7276 ]
Click [[QuantaStor 6.8.0 Upgrade Instructions | here]] for instructions on [[QuantaStor 6.8.0 Upgrade Instructions | upgrading to QuantaStor v6.8.0]].
A flag on the Storage System controls the "mode" for the "auto repair" option, either "pool", "osd", or "both".
* If a ZFS pool loses a disk, and if neither a dedicated spare nor a preexisting global spare is available to repair the disk, and the system's "auto repair" option includes "pool", then whenever a new disk is added to the enclosure that disk is automatically converted to a new global spare, and the pool will subsequently be repaired using that new global spare disk.
* If a ceph OSD loses its disk, and if the system's "auto repair" option similarly includes "osd", then whenever a new disk is added to the enclosure **in the same enclosure/slot as the failed OSD disk** that disk is automatically converted to a new global spare which is **dedicated to the repair of that specific OSD**, and the OSD will subsequently be repaired by 1) deleting the old OSD and 2) creating a new OSD using the new disk.

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


Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File
* Added: Create journal devices now select journal groups in round-robin least used way. This allows even distribution of journals across journal groups. [ QSTOR-7565 ]
* 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 ]
* Fixed an issue with Ceph bucket delete when the rados gateway is unreachable. [ QSTOR-7536 ]
* Added Ceph Tentacle 20.2.2 support to the Jammy QuantaStor ISO and package mirror. [ QSTOR-11441 ]
* Fixed: We have enhanced the 'Create Storage Pool (NAS/CephFS)', 'Create Storage Pool (s3 Zone)', and 'Create EC Profile' dialogs to auto set the Erasure K + M values based upon the Ceph Cluster Member count. [ QSTOR-7533 ]
* 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 ]
* Ceph Object Pool icon updated. [ QSTOR-7505 ]
* The Ceph Tentacle 20.2.2 release resolves frequent radosgw (RGW) crashes related to Kafka bucket notifications. [ QSTOR-11687 ]
* Improved OSD startup logic by adding "ceph-volume lvm activate --all" command to bring osds online. [ QSTOR-7489 ]
* Fix ceph bucket delete with large number of objects timing out. [ QSTOR-11728 ]
* Add the ability to restart the rados gateway from the UI and QS CLI. [ QSTOR-7473 ]
* Removed: the deprecated S3 bucket orphan-object cleanup feature; any existing scheduled task is disabled automatically on upgrade. [ QSTOR-11729 ]
* Improved retry logic on administrative bucket delete via the QuantaStor interface when the bucket is not empty. [ QSTOR-7459 ]
* 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 Zone and Zone Group fields to the Create Storage Pool (S3 Zone) dialog. Previously, just the Default settings were supported. [ QSTOR-7435 ]
* Added support for major-version Ceph upgrades (through Tentacle 20.2.x) in the upgrade script. [ QSTOR-11762 ]
* Fixed an issue with the aws command path on Centos platforms. [ QSTOR-7433 ]
* Increase the timeout for "Add Node" to a ceph cluster [ QSTOR-11906 ]
* Fixed: Allows for bucket deletion and creation after the manager node goes offline and a new ceph manager node is elected. [ QSTOR-7339 ]
* Added: Ceph Journal and OSD creation auto config when all or mostly SSDs are available now correctly chooses the SSDs for OSD and does not select or use journal groups by default. [ QSTOR-7283 ]
* Fixed a minor issue to better reflect the Ceph Volume utilized space. [ QSTOR-7233 ]
* Fixed: Devices with storage pools are filtered out of the device list in OSD and journal device creation dialog and journal group create dialog. UI is updated quickly when these operations are performed. [ QSTOR-7231 ]
* Disabled ZFS specific settings in share create when creating a share on CephFS [ QSTOR-7228 ]
* Added the ability to specify RBD block size on Bionic. [ QSTOR-7130 ]
* Add object locking for ceph buckets. Buckets can have object locking enabled in governance or compliance mode. [ QSTOR-6870 ]


Dashboards and Analytics
Dashboards and Analytics
* Fixed: reduced update clearing in the dashboards during heavy event conditions. [ QSTOR-7534 ]
* Added: a 'qs-statsdb resetpassword' command to rotate the InfluxDB stats password; telegraf is updated in lockstep so dashboards keep working. [ QSTOR-11170 ]
* Fixed an issue in the Controller & Enclosure menu area. When a system is selected, the events are no longer updating the Enclosure Graph, e.g., as LED On for a Disk. Events did work if a Controller or Enclosure was selected in the tree. [ QSTOR-7531 ]

* Add support for Supermicro 2U24 NVMe cluster in a box system [ QSTOR-7390 ]
* 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: Restarting or rebooting a storage system with an HA storage pool will cause the pool to successfully failover to another node in the cluster without WARNING State or state detail. [ QSTOR-7312 ]
* Fixed: Storage Pool HA io-fencing and failover now work over NVMe-TCP; target namespaces advertise persistent reservations. [ QSTOR-11850 ]

* 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 ]


SNMP
SCSI / NVMe Target
* Updated SNMP MIB for 5.8 [ QSTOR-7564 ]
* 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
Security
* Fixed bug that was causing user-add task to fail due to password encoding error. [ QSTOR-7351 ]
* Added support for Okta multi-factor authentication. [ QSTOR-9399 ]
* Adds Single User LDAP/AD sign on feature. [ QSTOR-529 ]
* 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 ]

Service Core
Service Core
* Fixed issue with exported encrypted pools were not having their names preserved [ QSTOR-7529 ]
* Fix tag-set where custom key/value tags were not appearing for User objects. [ QSTOR-11528 ]
* Added the 'setweblogin' command to qs-util to allow users to customize the default username in the web UI Login dialog. Specifying double quotes with no content "" sets no default username. [ QSTOR-7456 ]
* Improved Ceph OSD daemon restart handling during upgrades and reduced database load on large-scale clusters. [ QSTOR-11675 ]
* Add the ability to reset the active directory settings. [ QSTOR-7362 ]
* Fixed an issue with QuantaStor management service memory usage when a grid node was offline. [ QSTOR-11693 ]
* Added the ability to schedule pool scrubs. [ QSTOR-7352 ]
* Improved crash handling and diagnostic tracing for coordinated tasks, during operations such as adding a Ceph RADOS Gateway across multiple nodes. [ QSTOR-11702 ]
* Fixes bug where creating a site VIF on a node with the lowest IP address value was being used for the site VIF instead of the one selected in the dialog. [ QSTOR-7309 ]
* 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
* Added logic to prevent adding a pool spare that is smaller than the smallest disk in the pool.
* Added automated ordered-disk-list pool creation for Seagate Corvault and WD Data24 systems, simplifying creation of fully redundant storage pools. [ QSTOR-11538 ]
Added logic to prevent adding a pool spare to an encrypted pool that has a passphrase set. The procedure to add a passphrase to an encrypted pool with a passphrase is - 1) remove the passphrase from the pool, 2) add the spare(s) to the pool, then 3) re-add the passphrase to the pool. [ QSTOR-7369 ]
* Fixed software-encrypted pool creation so a disk block-size mismatch is detected before disks are encrypted, avoiding leftover encryption mappings. [ QSTOR-11599 ]
* Adds a new "Auto Repair" feature has been implemented. 
* ZFS deduplication now uses the faster fast_dedup mode by default, improving sustained deduplication performance. [ QSTOR-11714 ]
A flag on the Storage System controls the "mode" for the "auto repair" option, either "pool", "osd", or "both".
* 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 ]
* If a ZFS pool loses a disk, and if neither a dedicated spare nor a preexisting global spare is available to repair the disk, and the system's "auto repair" option includes "pool", then whenever a new disk is added to the enclosure that disk is automatically converted to a new global spare, and the pool will subsequently be repaired using that new global spare disk.
* Add the ability to create a Storage Pool checkpoint for scale-up pools [ QSTOR-11784 ]
* If a ceph OSD loses its disk, and if the system's "auto repair" option similarly includes "osd", then whenever a new disk is added to the enclosure **in the same enclosure/slot as the failed OSD disk** that disk is automatically converted to a new global spare which is **dedicated to the repair of that specific OSD**, and the OSD will subsequently be repaired by 1) deleting the old OSD and 2) creating a new OSD using the new disk. [ QSTOR-7276 ]
* 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 ]
Storage Volumes
* Fix a rounding error in volume create when the selected block size is 64K [ QSTOR-7492 ]
* Fixed: Block negative values in the QoS controls dialog for Storage Volumes. [ QSTOR-6632 ]


Upgrade Manager and Installer
Upgrade Manager and Installer
* Fixed an issue with Xenial upgrades from 5.0 QS versions. [ QSTOR-7588 ]
* 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 an issue where a Completed Upgrade task would show as Failed after a system reboot or Storage service restart. [ QSTOR-7577 ]
* 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 ]
* Added awscli v2 to xenial and bionic platforms via a qstoraws package. [ QSTOR-7482 ]
* 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
* Automatically change the sub-tab selection when a new tree node is selected for Reports, Ceph, and Hardware / Software Controller / Adapters. [ QSTOR-7557 ]
* Minor fix to the "Copy to Clipboard" for task descriptions [ QSTOR-9574 ]
* Adds ability to toggle off the "S3 Buckets" Storage Management Section for custom user web interfaces. [ QSTOR-7555 ]
* Added a method field and a sortable timestamp column to the web interface Audit Log Analyzer. [ QSTOR-11191 ]
* Improved the handling of update events for Storage Volumes for a better user experience. [ QSTOR-7530 ]
* Updated web interface translations across the major supported languages. [ QSTOR-11585 ]
* Fixes a bug in the Ceph Pool Profile dialog where you cannot select 2 in the code block slider. [ QSTOR-7476 ]
* Added a 'Create Share' option to the share template menu to quickly create a share applying all of a template's settings. [ QSTOR-11595 ]
* Fixes UI bug in update snapshot schedule dialog where network share selection tab was missing a search bar. [ QSTOR-7463 ]
* Fixed the web interface to display all configured Ceph MDS daemons instead of limiting the list to five. [ QSTOR-11615 ]
* Fixed: reduced the event background processing in the Web UI for Enclosure views when they are not visible and in scope. [ QSTOR-7453 ]
* Add auto select convenience buttons to the Storage Volume multi-delete dialog. [ QSTOR-11707 ]
* Fixed a field set percentage bar minor truncation issue in dialogs that show additional pool information. [ QSTOR-7423 ]
 
* Filtering in the storage system dashboard for storage systems and network interfaces based on current context. [ QSTOR-7407 ]
* Added support for Chinese language characters in Quantastsor description fields [ QSTOR-7370 ]
* Fixed bug that allowed user to enter passwords for encrypted storage pools without checking the enable encryption checkbox in the UI dialog. [ QSTOR-7357 ]
* Fixed: If no valid Pools exist on which to create shares, the Create Share dialog will now display a No Pools Exist message and gracefully exit. [ QSTOR-7178 ]
* Fixed: All dashboards will now have the up or down arrow in the upper right-hand corner for collapsing or expanding. [ QSTOR-7088 ]

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.

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)

Upgrade Instructions

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 ]

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 ]

  • 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

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 ]

  • 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 ]

  • 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 ]

  • 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 ]
