PRs: created by that dev and opened/merged/closed-unmerged during the period
The SeaweedFS GitHub repository has seen a significant amount of recent activity, with 346 open issues currently logged. Notably, several issues have been created or updated in the last few days, indicating ongoing development and user engagement. A recurring theme among these issues includes problems related to erasure coding, volume management, and S3 API interactions.
Several issues exhibit anomalies such as critical errors during file operations (e.g., volume not found
, invalid memory address
, and no free volumes left
). The presence of multiple reports regarding volume server failures and inconsistencies in data retrieval suggests potential underlying stability issues within the system. Additionally, there are concerns about the handling of metadata and object storage, particularly when integrating with external services like S3.
Here are some of the most recently created and updated issues:
Issue #5897: EC_Encoder not catching bitrot
Issue #5892: The size becomes double after ec.decode
Issue #5891: Security Problem
Issue #5883: Vacuum failed with error "index out of range 3"
Issue #5881: Complete data loss when using volume.tier.move after volume.tier.upload
Issue #5877: Can s3 api support these parameters ?mode=fit&width=200&height=100
The recent issues highlight several critical themes:
These themes suggest that while SeaweedFS offers powerful features for distributed storage, there are significant challenges that need addressing to enhance reliability and user confidence in its capabilities.
