Dear robinhood users, Robinhood v3.0 development is now complete.
Release candidate can be downloaded from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/robinhood/files/robinhood/3.0-rc1/ Take advantage of the summer holidays to test it! Any feedback is welcome. Enjoy! What's new in Robinhood v3.0? ============================= (Main changes, non-exhaustive list) * Policies at will: - Define new custom policies at will, just by writing just a few lines of configuration. - Schedule all imaginable actions on filesystem entries. - Templates are provided to implement: old entries cleanup, directory cleanup, data corruption checks (by regularly checking file's checksum), Lustre/HSM policies. * Fully configurable policies: - All policy aspects made configurable (scope, actions, action parameters, sort order...) - Fine-grained specification of policy actions and parameters. * Plugin-based architecture: - Missing a specific feature in Robinhood core? Implement you own plugin to manage new kind of policies, maintain specific info in robinhood DB, enable interactions with specific site ecosystem (job scheduler, system load...), ... * Enabling the Robinhood community: - Share your custom policy definitions and plugins, so that other community members can benefit from them and enrich them! * All Robinhood features in a single instance: - No more distinct and incompatible robinhood "flavors" (tmpfs, lhsm, backup...) - All policies can be implemented in a single robinhood instance. * Get a better overlook of your filesystem contents than ever! - Tag your filesystem entries based on arbitrary criteria using the new fileclass implementation. - Flexible reporting with "rbh-find --printf" * RedHat 7 integration: - systemd support. - Per filesystem service: robinhood@<fsname> * New features for Lustre/HSM: - Undelete: recover accidentally deleted files. - Implement Lustre/HSM with any backend, using the generic command copytool shipped with robinhood: 'lhsmtool_cmd'. - UUID support for Lustre/HSM copytools. * Convenient: - Automatic DB conversion after major upgrades. * Even more robust & Improved code quality. Robinhood v3 admin documentation is already available online: https://github.com/cea-hpc/robinhood/wiki/Documentation This documentation is still a work in progress, and should be completed with other documents (configuration reference, plug-in developer guide, ...).
