Apr 1, 2026April 2026 focused on stabilizing the read path in leil-io/saunafs by optimizing the read cache and ensuring correct handling of maximum requested offsets. The primary accomplishment was a memory-usage improvement in read operations and fixes that prevent unnecessary cache entries, accompanied by robust test coverage for slow rereads and re-validated readahead behavior. These changes reduce resource pressure on read-heavy workloads and improve correctness and reliability in production.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 focused on delivering a robust chunk-based write path in SaunaFS, introducing write buffering, chunk-based writes, per-inode parallelism controls, and protocol/documentation updates. The migration retires the inode-based write algorithm, adds tuning options, strengthens reliability in master disconnect scenarios, and improves small-write performance and overall throughput.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for leil-io/saunafs focused on reliability and performance improvements under mixed workloads. Key features delivered include chunkserver-side locking for writes with client unlock notifications and a configurable lock messaging option (toggle USE_CHUNKSERVER_SIDE_CHUNK_LOCK). This enables safer concurrent writes and more predictable master/client state, with downstream wake-up of blocked writers via unlockChunkNotice and related client-side handling. A major refactor introduced priority-based IO scheduling through ProducerConsumerQueueWithPriority, plus MasterJobPool and ClientJobPool, enabling differentiated handling of master vs. client workloads and configurable IO_PRIORITY_MODE (FIFO by default, SWITCH to prioritize reads/writes as needed). Graceful shutdown enhancements ensure chunkservers wait for in-flight jobs to complete and all pending replies are delivered before stopping, reducing incomplete responses during maintenance. Major bugs fixed and reliability wins include fixed crashes during data writes by adjusting job close sequencing and metadata synchronization, replication stability improvements by avoiding rebalancing to disconnected chunkservers, refined chunk creation error signaling (NOSPACE vs NOCHUNKSERVERS), and test stability improvements (reducing flaky behavior in helgrind tests). These changes collectively increase throughput, reduce tail latency, and improve resilience under partial outages, delivering measurable business value through higher availability and safer, faster writes.
