+                   Release Notes for Samba 4.11.16
+                          November 04, 2020
+                   ===============================
+
+
+This is an extraordinary release of the Samba 4.11 release series to address the
+following issues:
+
+  o BUG 14537: ctdb-common: Avoid aliasing errors during code optimization.
+  o BUG 14486: vfs_glusterfs: Avoid data corruption with the write-behind
+               translator.
+
+
+=======
+Details
+=======
+
+The GlusterFS write-behind performance translator, when used with Samba, could
+be a source of data corruption. The translator, while processing a write call,
+immediately returns success but continues writing the data to the server in the
+background. This can cause data corruption when two clients relying on Samba to
+provide data consistency are operating on the same file.
+
+The write-behind translator is enabled by default on GlusterFS.
+The vfs_glusterfs plugin will check for the presence of the translator and
+refuse to connect if detected. Please disable the write-behind translator for
+the GlusterFS volume to allow the plugin to connect to the volume.
+
+
