Build 2.6.5377
Windows LucidFS driver update:
- Updated LucidFS file system driver. Windows reboot is required.
- Experimental support for Windows ARM64. Please note that the Lucid shell extension is not available, meaning there are no overlay icons and context menus in File Explorer.
- Lucid no longer mounts as a RAM disk on Windows 11. It mounts as a local disk consistent with the behavior on Windows 10.
- Avid Media Composer can use Lucid with the default mount option on Windows 11. Previously it required a UNC mount point to work.
- Compatibility with the Windows BitLocker policy that requires encrypted drives for writing. Previously it was not possible to write to a Lucid drive with such a policy in place.
More improvements:
-
Introduced Storage Quota Management via the command line interface with the following config settings:
- lucid config --set --global --FileSystem.MaxFsSize - sets the maximum file system size.
- lucid config --set --global --FileSystem.MaxFsEntries - sets the maximum number of entries (files, directories, and symlinks).
- lucid config --set --global --FileSystem.MaxStorageSize - sets the maximum object storage size.
- The default data cache size has been increased from 5GB to 25GB.
- The default metadata cache size has been increased from 1GB to 5GB.
- Upon start-up, the desktop application now automatically detects and displays Filespaces connected via the command line interface.
- App refocusing behavior has been minimized for reduced distractions and improved workflow efficiency.
- Enhanced diagnostic report to include logs for multiple Filespaces.
- [Windows] Improved the installation of the Lucid shell extension, now alerting users whether a File Explorer restart is necessary and allowing them to choose when to perform it.
- [Windows] Up to 20% performance improvements on Windows when executing a high number of metadata operations (such as traversing a directory tree) with cached metadata.
Bug fixes:
- Default schedules for Snapshots were sometimes not created automatically upon Filespace initialization.
- Changing assigned permissions caused the app to display an endless loading animation.
- In rare cases, the LucidLink App could crash leading to inconsistent local metadata.
- The LucidLink App would disconnect for a short period when specific errors from the Object Storage are received.
- [macOS] The oldest snapshot was not visible in Finder on some macOS machines when mounted.
