When a fresh multi-node cluster starts, the first disk detects all disks
as unformatted and initializes the format. However, `should_init_erasure_disks`
and `quorum_unformatted_disks` only counted `UnformattedDisk` errors. Remote
peers that have not yet started their gRPC server return transient network
errors (connection refused, timeout) instead of `UnformattedDisk`, causing
the first disk to miss the "all unformatted" signal and creating a deadlock:
first disk retries endlessly while non-first disks wait for it.
Add `is_unformatted_or_transient_network` that treats transient network
errors as equivalent to `UnformattedDisk` for the bootstrap decision.
A remote disk that cannot be reached during fresh-cluster startup is
indistinguishable from an unformatted disk — the peer may simply not
have started its gRPC server yet.
Fixes#5655
Large buckets with millions of objects can take longer than the default
5-second walkdir timeout to produce the first page of listing results.
This causes timeouts in the web UI and mc CLI when opening or scanning
such buckets.
Skip the walkdir total timeout for S3 ListObjects operations when no
explicit walkdir_timeout is configured. The stall timeout (5s with no
forward progress) still protects against drives that stop responding.
This matches the scanner's existing behavior for the same reason.

* fix: address rc.1 release blockers
* fix: route release guards through architecture boundaries
* fix: close remaining rc.1 regression gaps
* refactor: group multipart listing options
* fix: resolve rc.1 CI regressions
* fix(ecstore): keep bucket-config writes off the caller's stack
A bucket-config write nests incarnation resolution (which can drive legacy
migration and a peer fan-out), a full metadata load, and `save` — itself an
object PUT that pulls in the whole erasure write path. Every request that
mutates bucket config is already several futures deep, so inlining all of
that into one state machine overflows the 2MiB worker stack in debug builds.
Two CI lanes aborted with SIGABRT on this:
ILM Integration (serial)
rustfs app::lifecycle_transition_api_test::
compensation_driven_complete_multipart_upload_still_transitions
Test and Lint (swift)
rustfs-protocols::swift_metadata_persistence::
swift_metadata_writes_are_durable
Neither test file is touched by this branch and both lanes are green on
main. Stack-pointer probing showed ~780KiB consumed between
`metadata_sys::update` and the config read alone, with single hops of
363KiB (`update` -> `acquire_config_write_guard_for_incarnation`), 125KiB
and 105KiB.
Box the deep sub-futures on both read-modify-write paths (`update` /
`update_checked` and `update_config_with` / `update_config_with_checked`)
so each guard's own state machine stays small. Behaviour is unchanged;
`update` -> guard drops to 253KiB and both tests pass on the default stack.
* fix(lifecycle): unbreak restore under the bucket generation fence
The ILM lane aborted on a stack overflow before reaching these, so they
were never reported; with that fixed, four restore tests fail. All four
are green on main and none of their test files are touched by this branch.
1. RestoreObject and ListMultipartUploads hard-required
`opts.expected_bucket_incarnation_id`, but `apply_bucket_generation_guard`
deliberately leaves it unset when no guard extension is present — only the
S3 access layer installs one. Every direct caller therefore got
`InternalError: ... bucket generation guard is missing`. Resolve the
current generation instead, the way the copy path already does. The fence
is unaffected: RestoreObject still re-reads the incarnation from disk and
compares before admitting the restore, and the multipart listing is
filtered by the value it resolves.
2. `restore_expiry_snapshot_matches` (new on this branch) rejected every
restored-copy expiry whose `restore_expires` had not already elapsed.
Whether the restored copy is due to expire is the ILM evaluator's
decision, made when it emitted DeleteRestoredAction; re-deriving it in
the set layer only adds a way for a legitimate action to be rejected.
The stale-event risk it appears to guard is already covered by the
surrounding snapshot match — a re-restore rewrites `restore_expires`,
so a replayed event fails the equality check. Drop the clause; the
fifteen identity clauses are unchanged.
Fixed:
rustfs app::lifecycle_transition_api_test::
restore_object_usecase_accepts_exactly_one_of_two_concurrent_restores
restore_object_usecase_completes_suspended_null_version_in_place
restore_object_usecase_reports_ongoing_conflict
rustfs-scanner::lifecycle_integration_test serial_tests::
test_restore_chain_local_read_expiry_keeps_remote_and_allows_re_restore
Verification: the CI ILM lane filter now runs 53/53 green locally.
* chore: address review follow-ups on this branch
Four items from the adversarial review that were still open.
- Restore the assertion `test_bucket_replication_replayed_delete_marker_
preserves_source_mtime_without_source_restart` is named for. The branch
had replaced the backlog#867 mtime check with `assert_replication_
converged`, which any successful replication satisfies, and deleted the
two helpers it needed — so the regression the test exists to catch would
now pass. This matters here specifically because the branch changes the
flag feeding `replication_delete_remove_options` and routes replay
through a new file and ordering.
- Drop `read_config_no_lock_preserve_empty`: zero production callers (the
one real consumer calls the `_with_metadata` variant directly). Its test
stanza now exercises that variant, so the coverage moves to live code
rather than being deleted.
- Revert the `bytesize` bump. It is a no-op: `Cargo.lock` already pinned
2.7.0 before this branch and is untouched, so the caret range already
resolved there. Nothing in the diff uses the crate.
- Split the AGENTS.md "Adversarial Validation" policy change out of this
branch. The edit is defensible on its own, but it relaxes the review gate
that this branch has to pass, so it should land as its own PR reviewed on
its own merits rather than bundled with the change that benefits from it.
The reverted hunks are unchanged and ready to re-apply.
Not changed, deliberately: the missing-sidecar path still fails closed.
`missing_bucket_incarnation_sidecar_for_new_metadata_fails_closed` pins
that on purpose, and serving a non-authoritative Object Lock state would
be the wrong trade. The residual concern stands and is recorded in review
— a crash between the two writes in `persist_new_and_set` leaves the
bucket unloadable until DeleteBucket+CreateBucket, and the repair branches
in `migrate_legacy_metadata` and `make_bucket` are unreachable dead code
for that case. Resolving it needs the read path and the (transaction-lock
holding) repair path to be separated, which is more than a follow-up edit.
* test(ci): serialize the new bucket-incarnation tests
The five tests this branch adds around the incarnation / lifecycle fence
drive `init_bucket_metadata_sys` and `bucket_metadata_sys_of` — process-global
OnceLock state that `serial_test`'s `#[serial]` cannot protect across
nextest's process boundary — and they delete+recreate buckets, the shape that
raced into InsufficientWriteQuorum in backlog#937.
Add them to the `ecstore-serial-flaky` group in both the default and ci
profiles (nextest evaluates a named profile's own overrides list, so the
ci mirror is required). Preventive serialization only, no retries.
Not a full fix for the review comment: `bucket_delete_waits_for_config_
mutation_fence` still proves liveness with a fixed 200ms sleep plus
`assert!(!delete.is_finished())`. Turning that into readiness polling needs
a production-side signal to wait on — asserting "still blocked" is inherently
a negative. Serializing the group removes the parallel-load pressure that
makes the window fragile; the sleep itself is left for a follow-up.
* test(ecstore): pin that a drained bucket is actually deletable
`DeleteBucket`'s emptiness check is `has_xlmeta_files`, a raw scan of the
bucket directory on local disks — not an S3-level listing. So "the client
drained the bucket" and "the bucket is deletable" are two different
contracts, and only the first one was covered.
That gap is what the `S3 Implemented Tests` lane is failing on: 219 cases,
all `BucketNotEmpty` on `nuke_prefixed_buckets`, with every test body
passing. The first one is `test_versioning_obj_suspend_versions`, reported
by pytest as PASSED followed by ERROR at teardown.
Add the missing assertion for the unversioned path: PUT, client DELETE,
then assert no `xl.meta` survives and `DeleteBucket` succeeds. It passes —
which is itself a result: the plain delete path leaves no residue, so the
s3-tests failure is not there.
The versioning-suspended path is the remaining suspect (the client DELETE
leaves a null delete marker, and draining means purging it by
`versionId=null`). It is not covered here: `BucketVersioningSys` resolves
through the ambient `get_bucket_metadata_sys()` OnceLock, which this unit
env cannot set, so the bucket never actually reports as suspended. That
repro belongs at the e2e layer where a real server owns the versioning
state.
* fix(ecstore): let an explicit null-version delete purge its delete marker
Root cause of the `S3 Implemented Tests` lane: 219 cases, all
`BucketNotEmpty` on `nuke_prefixed_buckets`, every test body passing.
On a versioning-suspended bucket a client DELETE leaves a null delete
marker — correct S3 semantics, and an `xl.meta` on disk. Draining the
bucket therefore means purging that marker as `?versionId=null`, which is
what `nuke_bucket` does before `DeleteBucket`. That purge was rejected:
explicit null-version purge of the null delete marker must succeed,
got [Some(MethodNotAllowed)]
so the marker survived, and `DeleteBucket`'s emptiness check — a raw
`has_xlmeta_files` scan of the bucket directory, not an S3 listing — kept
reporting the bucket as non-empty.
The two sides of the version comparison in the batch delete loop are in
different namespaces. `goi.version_id` is the client-facing identity, where
`from_file_info` synthesizes `Some(Uuid::nil())` for a null version on a
versioned *or versioning-suspended* bucket. `version_id` is the storage
identity, where `delete_file_info_version_id` maps an explicit
`?versionId=null` to `None`. Comparing them raw makes the purge look like a
version mismatch, so `explicit_delete_marker` is false and the
`MethodNotAllowed` from the lookup is recorded as a delete failure.
This only became reachable on this branch: previously `check_opts` did not
carry `dobj.version_id`, so `set_disk_delete_creates_delete_marker` was
true, `object_lock_check_required` was false, and the lookup that produces
`MethodNotAllowed` never ran. Adding the version id to `check_opts` lit up
a comparison that was already wrong.
Normalize both sides through `delete_file_info_version_id`.
The regression test injects a real Suspended bucket-config snapshot — the
delete path reads versioned/suspended from that snapshot, not from `opts`,
so without it `from_file_info` never synthesizes the null version id and
the branch is not reached. Mutation-checked: restoring the raw comparison
fails the test with the exact `MethodNotAllowed` above.
* fix(app): drop the now-needless struct update
Reverting `crates/replication` to main removed the extra `MrfReplicateEntry`
fields, so this literal specifies every field again and `..Default::default()`
trips `clippy::needless_update` under `-D warnings`.
Caught by CI, not locally: I had run `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`,
which does not see clippy-only lints. Ran `cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets -- -D warnings` here — clean.
* test(e2e): assert the fresh-volume classification
four_node_empty_legacy_volumes_start_as_fresh only started the cluster and
listed buckets — no assertion, so any classification path that still permits
startup left it green without proving the pre-created empty `.minio.sys`
directories were treated as fresh volumes.
Pin what that classification actually leaves behind: no buckets adopted into
the namespace, `.rustfs.sys/format.json` written on every drive, and the empty
legacy directory left untouched rather than migrated into.
* fix(bucket): apply the requested Object Lock to existing buckets
Site replication replays make-with-versioning against the destination,
carrying the source's `lockEnabled`. When the destination bucket already
exists it takes `force_create`, and the whole option-application block was
gated on `confirmed_missing` — so the call returned success while the replica
stayed unlocked. Replicated versions could then be deleted without the
retention the source enforces.
Object Lock enable is one-way, so applying it to an existing bucket is safe:
move it out of the creation-only gate, keeping `created` and versioning-only
options creation-scoped as before.
An existing authoritative bucket takes the `cache_bucket_metadata_in` branch,
which only caches, so the enable would have been dropped on restart. Persist
instead when the enable actually changed something.
Mutation-checked: restoring the creation-only gate fails the new
`force_create_enables_object_lock_on_an_existing_bucket` with "Object Lock
must be enabled on the existing bucket".
cargo nextest run -p rustfs-ecstore --lib: 3633 passed.
* fix(ecstore): box the generation-checked config mutation paths too
The earlier stack fix boxed `update` and `delete`, but an authorized
bucket-config mutation carrying an incarnation takes `update_if_incarnation`
/ `delete_if_incarnation` instead — which were still inlining the whole
resolve/load/save chain into an already-deep request future. Same overflow,
sibling path.
* fix(restore): keep the nil-version normalization the strip removed
Reverting the replication subsystem to main took `set_disk/replication.rs`
with it, but one line in that file was this branch's own fix rather than
replication work:
- self.version_id.filter(|v| !v.is_nil()) == fi.version_id.filter(|v| !v.is_nil())
+ self.version_id == fi.version_id
For a versioning-suspended object the expected version is `Some(Uuid::nil())`
while the read-back `FileInfo` carries `None`, so the raw compare reports
every suspended restore as "restored object changed before restore metadata
finalization" and the copy-back never commits. Same nil-vs-None mismatch as
the null delete-marker purge fixed earlier on this branch.
Caught by `Test and Lint (rio-v2)`, not by my local runs: the test lives in
`transition_commit_failure_tests`, gated behind `feature = "test-util"`, so
the 3633-test suite I had been running never included it. Re-ran with
`--features rio-v2,test-util`: 3722 passed.
A same-name CopyObject marks the operation `metadata_only`, which lets the
store layer rewrite `xl.meta` in place and leave the data blocks untouched.
The handler independently strips the source encryption metadata and calls
`sse_encryption`, which mints a *fresh* DEK. On an unversioned bucket both
happen at once, so the object ends up with a new DEK sitting beside ciphertext
sealed under the old one, and can never be decrypted again.
The mirror case is silent: an encrypted source copied without any destination
SSE keeps its ciphertext while losing the key metadata, so GET returns raw
ciphertext as if it were plaintext, with HTTP 200 and no error anywhere.
Keep `metadata_only` off whenever either side of the copy is encrypted, so the
store layer performs a full read/write rewrite through `put_object`. This is
the same resolution the versioned historical-restore path already uses for
this risk (issue #4238), and it matches MinIO's
`isSourceEncrypted || isTargetEncrypted -> metadataOnly = false` guard in
CopyObjectHandler.
The target half of the predicate deliberately tests `effective_sse` rather
than the request headers MinIO inspects: `effective_sse` also resolves the
bucket default-encryption rule, and `sse_encryption` mints a DEK from that
resolved value. A header-only check would miss a same-key copy performed under
a bucket default rule. The source half reuses `ObjectInfo::is_encrypted` so a
future encryption flavour is covered here as soon as it is recognised there.
Versioned buckets were already safe: that path falls through to `put_object`
regardless of `metadata_only`. RestoreObject also sets `metadata_only` but
only appends restore keys and never re-derives a DEK, so it is unaffected.
refactor(storage): resolve staged dead code in store module (#730)
Drop the store module's blanket #![allow(dead_code)] and resolve every
unit it was masking, instead of keeping them staged:
- write_persistent_key_only_index: the keys-only writer wrapper only had
test callers; the in-process rebuild flow already exists and uses the
_with_metadata variant (prepare -> rebuild, triggered lazily from the
opt-in listing path). Tests call _with_metadata directly now.
- ListIndexLifecycle::recover_after_restart / mark_corrupt: production
derives index health per request from the persisted artifacts (index
file + namespace mutation journal), and restart recovery already lives
in load_persistent_key_only_index's journal restore. The persisted-
lifecycle design these transitions served was superseded, and Corrupt
had no detector, so the never-constructed Corrupt state/reason
variants go with them.
- record_list_objects_index_opt_in_fallback (+ helpers): superseded by
the inline per-site fallback recording in the opt-in listing path; the
recorder recomputed health with a hardcoded None provider, so it could
only ever report a disabled-based reason.
- Provider-contract traits (Generation/Page/PageIterator/KeyLookup):
provider dispatch went the ListObjectsIndexProviderKind enum route;
only ListMetadataIndexHealth is live (dyn in source-mode selection)
and stays, minus its unused is_healthy default.
- Delete the unused list_quorum_from_env/RUSTFS_API_LIST_QUORUM pair,
fold should_resume_local_decommission and
should_auto_start_rebalance_after_recovered_meta into their surviving
primitives, drop get_disk_via_endpoint, and cfg(test) the remaining
test-only conveniences.
fix(ilm): fail closed on unsafe manual job recovery
Mark expired manual transition jobs Unknown when recovery cannot prove queued worker outcomes are durable. Enforce ETag-guarded admission release with exact delete preconditions so stale releasers cannot remove a replacement admission, while still allowing drained cancelled jobs to terminate.

When endpoints include remote nodes and no internode RPC secret is
resolvable, every remote format read fails client-side with "No valid
auth token" and startup dies ~2 minutes later with the misleading
"store init failed to load formats after 10 retries: erasure read
quorum" error (issues #4939, #5153).
Add a preflight to ECStore init that resolves the RPC secret once
before any disk opens: if any endpoint is non-local and resolution
fails, abort immediately with the operator-facing remediation message.
The preflight also emits the "RPC auth secret resolution failed" log
line so the log-analyzer rpc-secret-resolution rule keeps firing for
this scenario. Single-node (all-local) topologies never invoke the
resolver.

ValidatedFileInfo wrapped an unread `_file_info` reference alongside an `Option<ValidatedErasureLayout>`, but only the layout was ever consumed. Return the layout directly from `FileInfo::validate` so the sole production consumer (`LocalDisk::check_parts`) and the two unit tests read it without the extra witness type and lifetime.
No behavior change.
* fix(filemeta): keep compressed and MinIO-migrated tiered objects readable
The new decode-path validation rejected several legitimate on-disk shapes that older RustFS and MinIO-migrated data carry, turning readable objects into FileCorrupt:
- Compressed objects written with an unknown upload size persist a negative per-part actual_size (the documented "unknown size" sentinel that ObjectInfo::get_actual_size already tolerates). validate_collection_contents rejected it via usize::try_from; now a negative actual_size skips shard validation and only real, non-negative sizes are checked.
- MinIO-migrated objects transitioned to a versioned remote tier store the tier version id as a UUID string, not 16 raw bytes. MetaObject::into_fileinfo returned FileCorrupt (main tolerated it as None), making all versions of the object unreadable; MetaDeleteMarker free-version records took a Some(nil) sentinel path with the same effect, which also breaks free-version expiry (remote-tier leak). Both now decode through a shared transitioned_version_id_from_meta_sys helper: 16 raw bytes or a UUID string are accepted, anything else is tolerated as None instead of failing the read.
Regression tests updated to assert the readable/compat behavior, with new tests covering MinIO string-form recovery.
* fix(scanner): build the delete-marker test fixture without erasure geometry
get_size_counts_delete_markers_separately_from_versions built its delete marker with `FileInfo::new(object, 1, 1)`, which attaches erasure geometry (data=1/parity=1/distribution). This PR classifies versions by shape via `is_storage_delete_marker()` (no geometry) rather than the raw `deleted` flag, so a geometry-bearing "delete marker" is correctly serialized as a purge-pending payload Object and counted as a version — CI saw summary.versions=3, expected 2.
Real delete markers carry no erasure geometry (delete paths build them as `FileInfo { deleted: true, ..Default::default() }`), so construct the fixture the same way. It then classifies as a storage delete marker and the counts (versions=2, delete_markers=1) hold. This keeps the PR's more-correct classification, which prevents a purge-pending object's geometry from being dropped when serialized as a bare delete marker.
* docs(changelog): note per-pool parity fix and storage-class startup upgrade caveat
Records the #4801 per-pool erasure parity fix under Fixed, and documents the upgrade behavior where a persisted storage class that a small or heterogeneous pool cannot satisfy now fails startup — with the RUSTFS_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD recovery steps. Docs-only; covers R4 from the on-disk compatibility audit.
* fix(heal): report parity from erasure geometry, not is_valid()
heal_object set HealResultItem.parity_blocks via `if lfi.is_valid()`, which was missed by the migration of the other quorum/metadata predicates. With the new `is_valid()` semantics (full payload validation; delete markers now return false), a delete marker or a geometry-bearing version with a benign collection quirk would misreport parity as the pool default instead of its own. Use `has_valid_erasure_geometry()` — the narrow "does this carry erasure geometry" predicate the rest of the migration uses — so reporting matches the object's actual layout. Reporting-only; no data-path change.
* fix(filemeta): do not silently serialize a non-canonical deleted FileInfo as an Object
`From<FileInfo> for FileMetaVersion` classifies by `is_storage_delete_marker()` (shape), which correctly routes canonical delete markers to Delete and purge-pending payloads (deleted=true with real erasure geometry) to Object. But a `deleted` FileInfo that is neither a canonical marker nor a valid erasure payload would silently serialize as a zero-geometry MetaObject that later fails `validate_for_metadata_read`. Write paths validate first (`validate_for_erasure_write` / `validate_for_metadata_read`), so this is a caller bug; `From` is infallible, so surface it with a structured `warn!` on the malformed branch instead of writing corrupt metadata silently. Legitimate purge-pending objects (valid geometry) are unaffected — the guard only fires for `deleted && !has_valid_erasure_geometry()`.
* test(filemeta): assert real historical xl.meta versions pass metadata-read validation
Empirical companion to the code-reasoned decode-tolerance invariants (docs/architecture/erasure-coding.md §11) and the rolling-upgrade / MinIO-migration compatibility concern: the tightened `validate_for_metadata_read` runs on every local disk read and peer-RPC-decoded FileInfo, so it must accept every version of real historically-written xl.meta, never reject it as FileCorrupt.
Loads five real fixtures — MinIO small-inline, MinIO versioned (two object versions + a delete marker), MinIO large multipart, a legacy V1 (xl.json-derived) object, and a legacy meta_ver 2 object — decodes every version with parts materialized, and asserts validate_for_metadata_read() is Ok for each. Reverting the tolerant handling (delete-marker shape, legacy per-part checksums, string/short transitioned-versionID, negative actual_size) turns this red.
* fix(ci): remove duplicate storage test re-exports
