Release 0.2.1 of EVMS is now available for download at the project web site: http://www.sf.net/projects/evms
Highlights for version 0.2.1
v0.2.1 - 10/20/01 - Engine updates - Global namespace - all storage object names must be unique throughout the whole system, not just within a particular layer. - Internal locking (instead of a lock file) to prevent multiple writers. - Improvements in the Task interface. - Engine can now be built with Electric Fence for memory debugging. - Plugin collision-resolution - If two plugins with identical IDs are loaded, the engine keeps the one with the higher version number. Before, it just aborted. - GUI updates - Creation of segments, regions, containers, and feature objects. - Assigning objects to segment or region managers. - Currently tested by assigning Default Seg Mgr to a raw disk. - Extended info windows now support "extra" info for fields as specified by the plugins.. - CommandLine updates - Several new commands have been coded. - Create, Allocate, Assign, Delete, Query - Tested creates on segments, feature objects, EVMS volumes, and compatibility volumes. - Most Query filters have been coded - Filter by size (GT, LT), plugin, volume, plugin type, options - LVM plugin - support for creating linear and striped LVs/regions. - no contiguous or snapshotting yet. - does allow specifying the underlying PVs for both linear and striped - support for deleting LVs/regions. - does not support snapshot LVs yet. - lots of extended information support. - LVM Compatibility Utilities - New commands - evms_pvremove - evms_lvcreate, evms_lvremove - evms_vgdisplay, evms_pvdisplay, evms_lvdisplay - EVMS Snapshots are now writable - Improved option handling in the Default Segment Manager. - Initial drop of engine plugin code for the OS/2 Region Manager. - Drivelinking and BBR engine plugins currently do not commit any metadata, but do go through the "virtual" creation process in the engine. - AIX runtime code added mirroring support. - Updates to the kernel Local Device Manager to recognize a wider range of local disk drives. - EVMS kernel info level can now be set during kernel configuration or as a boot-time parameter. - Cleaned up some kernel memory issues dealing with large memory requests.
