Weekly status for the week of 8th July to 14th July.

Introduction

The highlight of the past week was the release of LXD 6.1. Please see the release notes for more details.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where a custom block volume could be attached to multiple instances which could result in potential data loss. Now, custom block volumes cannot be attached to multiple instances without explicitly setting the new configuration key security.shared to true.

  • Fixed an issue where generated client tokens were rejected when an LXD cluster was added as a remote if the target server used was not the same one that generated the token. The certificate add operation metadata was incorrectly unmarshalled during internal communication between cluster members, causing the token to be accepted only by the cluster member that initially generated it.

  • Web socket keepalives are no longer used for UNIX sockets because it was causing occasional unexpected EOF errors on arm64 and riscv64 architecture.
