On Windows erasure coding setup if
```
~ minio server V:\ W:\ X:\ Z:\
```
is not possible due to NTFS creating couple of
hidden folders, this PR allows minio to use
the entire drive.
Current healing has an issue when disks are healed
even when they are offline without knowing if disk
is unformatted. This can lead to issues of pre-maturely
removing the disk from the set just because it was
temporarily offline.
There is an increasing number of `mc admin heal` usage
on a cron or regular basis. It is possible that if healing
code saw disk is offline it might prematurely take it down,
this causes availability issues.
Fixes#5826
Since we do not re-use storageDisks after moving
the connections to object layer we should close them
appropriately otherwise we have a lot of connection
leaks and these can compound as the time goes by.
This PR also refactors the initialization code to
re-use storageDisks for given set of endpoints until
we have confirmed a valid reference format.
An issue was reproduced when there a no more inodes
available on an existing setup of 4 disks, now we
took one of the disks and reformatted it to relinquish
inodes. Now we attempt to bring the fresh disk back
into setup and perform a heal - at this point creating
new `format.json` fails on existing disks since they
do not have more inodes available.
At this point due to quorum failure, we end up deleting
existing `format.json` as well, this PR removes the code
which deletes existing `format.json` as there is no need
to delete them.
Migration regression got introduced in 9083bc152e
adding more unit tests to catch this scenario, we need to fix this by
re-writing the formats after the migration to 'V3'.
This bug only happens when a user is migrating directly from V1 to V3,
not from V1 to V2 and V2 to V3.
Added additional unit tests to cover these situations as well.
Fixes#5667
This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

- Changes related to moving admin APIs
- admin APIs now have an endpoint under /minio/admin
- admin APIs are now versioned - a new API to server the version is
added at "GET /minio/admin/version" and all API operations have the
path prefix /minio/admin/v1/<operation>
- new service stop API added
- credentials change API is moved to /minio/admin/v1/config/credential
- credentials change API and configuration get/set API now require TLS
so that credentials are protected
- all API requests now receive JSON
- heal APIs are disabled as they will be changed substantially
- Heal API changes
Heal API is now provided at a single endpoint with the ability for a
client to start a heal sequence on all the data in the server, a
single bucket, or under a prefix within a bucket.
When a heal sequence is started, the server returns a unique token
that needs to be used for subsequent 'status' requests to fetch heal
results.
On each status request from the client, the server returns heal result
records that it has accumulated since the previous status request. The
server accumulates upto 1000 records and pauses healing further
objects until the client requests for status. If the client does not
request any further records for a long time, the server aborts the
heal sequence automatically.
A heal result record is returned for each entity healed on the server,
such as system metadata, object metadata, buckets and objects, and has
information about the before and after states on each disk.
A client may request to force restart a heal sequence - this causes
the running heal sequence to be aborted at the next safe spot and
starts a new heal sequence.
This is in preparation for updated admin heal API.
* Improve case analysis of healFormatXL() - fixes a case where disks
could have unhandled errors.
* Simplify healFormatXLFreshDisks() and healFormatXLCorruptedDisks()
to share more code and handle fewer cases for improved simplicity
and reduced code repetition.
* Fix test cases.
This patch also reverts previous changes which were
merged for migration to the newer disk format. We will
be bringing these changes in subsequent releases. But
we wish to add protection in this release such that
future release migrations are protected.
Revert "fs: Migration should handle bucketConfigs as regular objects. (#4482)"
This reverts commit 976870a391.
Revert "fs: Migrate object metadata to objects directory. (#4195)"
This reverts commit 76f4f20609.
There was an error in how we validated disk formats,
if one of the disk was formatted and was formatted with
FS would cause confusion and object layer would never
initialize essentially go into an infinite loop.
Validate pre-emptively and also check for FS format
properly.
rpcClient should attempt a reconnect if the call fails
with 'rpc.ErrShutdown' this is needed since at times when
the servers are taken down and brought back up.
The hijacked connection from net.Dial is usually closed.
So upon first attempt rpcClient might falsely indicate that
disk to be down, to avoid this state make another dial attempt
to really fail.
Fixes#3206Fixes#3205
These messages based on our prep stage during XL
and prints more informative message regarding
drive information.
This change also does a much needed refactoring.
- Fix distributed branch to be able to run FS version.
- Fix distributed branch to be able to run XL local disks.
- Ignore initialization failures of notification and bucket
policies, the codepath should load whatever is possible.
Fresh disks can be provided in any order, we need to make sure
to preserve existing disk order and populate the fresh disks
in new positions.
Thanks for Anis Elleuch <vadmeste@gmail.com> for finding this issue.
By default server heals/creates missing directories and re-populates
`format.json`, in some scenarios when disk is down for maintainenance
it would be beneficial for users to ignore such disks rather than
mistakenly using `root` partition.
Fixes#2128
This patch also supports writing to a temporary file and renaming
rather than appending to an existing file. This helps in avoiding
inconsistent files.
AppendFile ensures that it appends the entire buffer. Returns
an error otherwise, this patch removes the necessity for the
caller to look for 'n' return on short writes.
