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. Maandag is versie 3.9.1 uitgekomen en de release notes hiervan zien er als volgt uit:
Announcing Rockstor 3.9.1Rockstor 3.9.1 is now available. Six contributors have come together to close 30+ issues, including Major feature updates and bug fixes to make this update happen. Disk encryption with LUKS is the biggest feature we’ve added and something the community has been wanting for a while. We’ve also added support for scheduling power management and jumbo frames just to name a few. This update also comes with a 4.10 kernel from elrepo and a btrfs-progs update from the BTRFS community. It is my pleasure to make this announcement.
For new installs, We created a brand new 3.9.1 ISO. Please purchase a subscription for Stable updates subscription after install and enjoy these benefits. Stable update subscribers can update from the UI as usual.
