Detailed info:

• uRaft HA *

uRaft is HA solution designed for use with LizardFS. It allows for seamless switching of master server in case of hardware failure. More information about uRaft is available in LizardfFS Handbook (https://docs.lizardfs.com/index.html)

• fixes to EC handling *

For chunk types with number of parity greater than 4 there could occur situation when it wasn't possible to recover missing data. This was low probability event but nonetheless it could happen. To solve this problem we have to recompute parity parts for those types of chunks. Unfortunately until all parity parts are recomputed affected chunks are in endangered state.

• nfs-ganesha plugin changed to use only C code *

In preparation for moving LizardFS nfs-ganesha plugin to official nfs-ganesha repository, we had to remove all occurrences of C++ code and replace it with plain C.
