### Consistency Guarantees

MinIO follows strict **read-after-write** and **list-after-write** consistency model for all i/o operations both in distributed and standalone modes. This consistency model is only guaranteed if you use disk filesystems such as xfs, zfs or btrfs etc.. for distributed setup.

**In our tests we also found ext4 does not honor POSIX O_DIRECT/Fdatasync semantics, ext4 trades performance for consistency guarantees. Please avoid ext4 in your setup.**

        def projectDir = 'C:\\some\\agent\\workspace'

		var hint string
		if endpoint.URL != nil {
			hint = fmt.Sprintf("Drive '%s' does not support O_DIRECT flags, MinIO erasure coding requires filesystems with O_DIRECT support", endpoint.Path)
		} else {
			hint = "Drives do not support O_DIRECT flags, MinIO erasure coding requires filesystems with O_DIRECT support"
		}
		logger.Fatal(config.ErrUnsupportedBackend(err).Hint("%s", hint), "Unable to initialize backend")

ConfigMap rendering [issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/112081) was found in the 1.25.0 release. When ConfigMaps get updated within the API, they do not get rendered to the resulting pod's filesystem by the Kubelet. The feature has been [reverted to alpha](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112078) in the 1.25.1 release.

## Urgent Upgrade Notes

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

pkg net/http, type File interface, Seek(int64, int) (int64, error)
pkg net/http, type File interface, Stat() (os.FileInfo, error)
pkg net/http, type FileSystem interface { Open }
pkg net/http, type FileSystem interface, Open(string) (File, error)
pkg net/http, type Flusher interface { Flush }
pkg net/http, type Flusher interface, Flush()
pkg net/http, type Handler interface { ServeHTTP }

## Test using MinIO Client `mc`

`mc` provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services. Follow the MinIO Client [Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart) for further instructions.

## Upgrading MinIO

has now graduated to Beta.
This allows the kubelet to dynamically retrieve credentials for a container image registry
using exec plugins, rather than storing credentials on the node's filesystem.

### Contextual Logging in Alpha

Kubernetes 1.24 has introduced [contextual logging](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3077)

pkg io/fs, var ErrNotExist error
pkg io/fs, var ErrPermission error
pkg io/fs, var SkipDir error
pkg log, func Default() *Logger
pkg net, var ErrClosed error
pkg net/http, func FS(fs.FS) FileSystem
pkg net/http, type Transport struct, GetProxyConnectHeader func(context.Context, *url.URL, string) (Header, error)
pkg os, const ModeAppend fs.FileMode
pkg os, const ModeCharDevice fs.FileMode
