Orka 3.3.4 Release Notes

Hotfix: Image Caching Issues with NFS

Summary:

Previously, when an image cached from NFS was updated at the source, Orka could occasionally fail to properly detect and refresh the outdated cached version. Instead, the VM would continue running silently using the stale image without any warning or error from Orka. Additionally, during the caching process, some stale or temporary images were not properly cleaned up, leading to potential storage issues.

Who is affected:

All customers using NFS images are impacted. Those with large image sizes and frequent image updates are more likely to encounter this issue first.

Impact:

• Customers using NFS storage may unknowingly run VMs with outdated images
• No errors or alerts are generated in Orka, making the issue difficult to detect
• Hosts may eventually run out of disk space due to accumulation of old or orphaned images

Customer downtime:

This is a zero-downtime operation and has no effect on already running VMs.

Next steps:

We recommend that all customers using Orka 3.3.0 and above using NFS apply this hotfix immediately to ensure proper image updates and prevent storage issues.
