Apple has released XSan 1.4.2, a maintenance release to its enterprise-class storage area network solution.

What’s New in this Version
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

Before installing, please review the Xsan Migration Guide at: http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/

Wow! Those Apple devs are on fire...in a matter of weeks they've got server updates, a new OS and an update to the current one...plus they're clearly at work on an iPhone SDK...

New xserves must be just around the corner.

New xserves must be just around the corner.

Now is a more likely time than ever to release the new units, as the die-shrink should cut the heat down. Heat is always an issue with 1U units, and I think it is a big reason why we haven't seen anything big from the Xserve for a while.

At a guess they will be released on the quiet when the Mac Pros are updated.
