What is nfs-ganesha?

NFS-Ganesha 15.11 closes a batch of crash and memory-safety bugs a week after 15.10

NFS-Ganesha is a userspace NFS server used with Ceph, GPFS and clustered storage. 15.10 added NFSv4.1 named attributes, Samba-style masks and macOS client handling; 15.11, four days later, is a memory-safety release fixing a use-after-free in open, a heap overflow in the gRPC client manager, several NULL dereferences and cross-client delegation revocation checks.

What is Hatchet?

Hatchet chases DAG crash loops through three engine patches in a day.

Hatchet added sandboxes, Labs switches and cloud MFA in early November. The week since has been engine reliability: v0.120.3 batches DAG step triggers, v0.120.4 fixes stranded match rows and prunes database partitions before locking, and v0.120.5 removes another cause of DAG crash loops. Python SDK 1.46.0 makes it easier to unit-test tasks and passes failures to cleanup dependencies.

◆ Current state

NFS-Ganesha is a userspace NFS server used with Ceph, GPFS and clustered storage. 15.10 added NFSv4.1 named attributes, Samba-style masks and macOS client handling; 15.11, four days later, is a memory-safety release fixing a use-after-free in open, a heap overflow in the gRPC client manager, several NULL dereferences and cross-client delegation revocation checks.

◆ Where it's heading

The 15.x line alternates small feature drops with hardening releases on a roughly weekly beat, and the newer gRPC management surface is now drawing its own fixes. The input-validation work that began in 15.8 is extending from XDR parsing into state and export management.

◆ Prediction

Expect 15.12 within one to two weeks, most likely another fix-heavy release with an ntirpc pullup.

Hatchet chases DAG crash loops through three engine patches in a day.

◆ Current state

Hatchet added sandboxes, Labs switches and cloud MFA in early November. The week since has been engine reliability: v0.120.3 batches DAG step triggers, v0.120.4 fixes stranded match rows and prunes database partitions before locking, and v0.120.5 removes another cause of DAG crash loops. Python SDK 1.46.0 makes it easier to unit-test tasks and passes failures to cleanup dependencies.

◆ Where it's heading

After a burst of features, Hatchet is tuning the engine under load: fewer locks, batched triggers and crash-loop fixes. The SDKs are getting testing and correctness work to match.

◆ Prediction

Expect more v0.120.x patches on DAG handling, then a sandbox package out of release candidate.
