Apple released Xsan 1.4.2 Update

Apple released Xsan 1.4.2 Update: Admin, Filesystem and Uninstaller. Xsan lets multiple computers concurrently access terabytes - even petabytes - of storage on Xserve RAID over high-speed Fibre Channel.

The Xsan 1.4.2 update addresses numerous issues related to overall reliability, usability and compatibility. It includes specific fixes for:

• mounting Fibre Channel LUNs on Mac OS X Leopard
  
• metadata controller failovers during power outages and network disconnects
  
• memory related errors that can result in slow system performance or hangs
  
• reducing fragmentation of large files and frame drops during ingest
  
• preventing file system metadata corruption
  
• hosting Xsan volumes on Intel-based metadata controllers
  
• defragmenting files after a volume bandwidth expansion
  
• compatibility with Apple and third party applications
