@Tony_Cristiano Thanks for the update and chuffed your’ve now zypper dup’ed OK to 15.3.
All details are at least indexed in the new testing release thread here:
The long and short of it is that it’s almost all library/tools/lang/module/db updates. With the new postgresql dependency having been moved to version 13, at least for now. But we have also improved the automated testing somewhat (Thanks again to @Flox for helping to kick that one off) and have also slipped in an improvement in our ability to detect, and consequently work around, cli initiated balances. This is important for us to be able to more rapidly accommodate such things as the newer raid levels that can require (currently at least) some cli maintenance. At least until we write them in properly to the Web-UI. See for example:
https://rockstor.com/docs/howtos/stable_kernel_backport.html
regarding these newer raid levels.
We have some clients who are itching to use such things as raid1c3 or say a mix of data btrfs-raid6 with metadata btrfs-raid1c4 (for large drive count, and/or sized, Pools). And that currently requires by-hand (read command line interface) intervention and so while we were working on improving the testing for balance detection I ended up hopefully improving our capabilities in that area. The same has yet to be done for scrubs but at least we have a model of what looks to be a working approach already in the balance. Plus we can use the same newer approach/structures for our yet to be written, and long awaited, disk-replace capability. All in good time however as we first have to get stuff moved up to being openSUSE Leap 15.4 compatible, which hopefully testing 5.4.1-0 will kick-off.
Hope that helps and thanks again for the update.
