I believe that it is unlikely, but anything is possible. In general, the storage daemon should never crash -- at least we are not aware of any crashes. We are aware that there are race conditions in the SD that sometimes lead to deadlock. In general, for either a crash or a deadlock, if we get a good traceback submitted as a bug report, we will be able to fix the problem. > > If so, how trivial would it be to apply the bstrncat fix to the 3.0.3 code > base? It is already in the git repo. However, I have removed the 3.0.3 branch and renamed it Branch-3.0. > > I've just grabbed the git tree for 3.1.6. > Which files would I need to compare to get the fixes? > Or will that just be too hard? Well, you need to do a "git pull" to get the latest changes, then you will need to checkout the Branch-3.0. I do it with: git checkout -b Branch-3.0 origin/Branch-3.0 > > Sort of a related question. > If I upgraded to 3.1.6 and found that it went badly, would it be easy > enough to revert back to 3.0.3 again? At the moment version 3.1.6 seems to be quite stable, but as with all development code, as we add changes some seemingly simple, sometimes the repo gets broken ... Yes, you can back out to 3.0.3+ as long as you do it before the end of this week. See the next answer ... > Or will the structure of the database have changed too much? (if at all?) Currently there are no database changes, but sometime around the end of this week (probably during the weekend), we will be committing a patch that upgrades the database, and in that case, if you build that version and do a database upgrade (it must be done manually), it will not be possible (or will be very hard) to go back. When we apply it we will change the version to 3.1.7, and in any case, you must explicitly run a script to do the update or the new version will refuse to run.
