Rockstor is een op CentOS gebaseerde Linuxdistributie, die onder meer als nas of private cloud storage-oplossing ingezet kan worden. Het maakt gebruik van populaire opensource technologieën, zoals het Btrfs-bestandssysteem en Docker voor de deployment van applicaties in zogenaamde softwarecontainers. Rockstor is gratis te gebruiken en updates kunnen via een test- of stabielkanaal worden ontvangen. Updates via het testkanaal zijn zeer frequent, vaak meerdere keren per week, maar kunnen soms bugs bevatten. Updates via het stabiele kanaal, waar alleen abonnementhouders toegang tot hebben, komen elke drie tot vier weken uit en zijn uitgebreid getest. Vrijdag is versie 3.8-10 uitgekomen en de release notes hiervan zien er als volgt uit:
3.8-10: Asynchronous Replication plus many improvements

We closed 13 issues in this release, compared to 20 in 3.8-9. And this release took a bit longer. If you are wondering why, it’s because of the big feature improvement in this release: Asynchronous Replication. This feature efficiently replicates Shares on one Rockstor appliance to another by using BTRFS send/receive functionality. While this feature was added a while ago, it was a bit over engineered, buggy and had to be improved. I started refactoring the existing pub-sub design and ended up completely redesigning it. The result is a much simpler and more robust implementation. I plan to write more about it here and the community wiki soon.
