Release notes v24.21

October 27, 2024

Release v24.21 includes Zesty Disk Agent v6.8.0 and additional improvements.

Agent v6.8.0

The Agent release includes the following new features, enhancements, and fixes:

New features

  • Zesty Disk on Windows now supports expanding and shrinking of existing filesystems.
    For more information, see How Zesty Disk works.

  • For easier removal of the Zesty Disk Agent, an uninstall command was added to the zestyctl CLI.

Enhancements

  • Support was added for Ubuntu v24.04.

  • For faster troubleshooting of installation issues, additional log files were added.

  • To enable restoring default Agent configurations (such as base URL and API key) during installation, the “reset” flag was added to the installation script.

  • When you run EZswitch from the CLI, it now automatically creates a new EBS, makes an AWS snapshot before migrating, and deletes the old EBS at the end of the process.

Fixes

  • Automatic Agent upgrade doesn’t always succeed. (If the current Agent is not automatically upgraded to v6.8.0, install v6.8.0, as described in Install the Zesty Disk Agent on standalone instances.)

  • The presentation of EZswitch statuses is sometimes delayed in the Zesty platform.

  • EZswitch starts for some instances even though they are not supported (partitions and LVM).

  • Reinstalling the Agent on Ubuntu instances sometimes fails.

  • When the name of a Zesty Disk mount point (for example /data) is part of the name of another mount point (for example /metadata), the Zesty Disk mount point was not remounted after rebooting the instance.

  • When an instance has a high CPU load, the Zesty Disk sometimes expands, even when there is no need.

  • The Zesty Disk Agent logs are duplicated to the root logger.

Additional improvements

This release includes the following enhancement:

Enhancement

  • When defining a “Minimum buffer size” policy in the Zesty Disk > Policies tab, you can now define that as a percentage of provisioned size (in addition to the current GB definition).
