SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
Patch ID: 7.3.1.3-sdfs
* 3944616  Defect created to track sdfs 7.3.1.3 rpm


DETAILS OF ISSUES FIXED IN THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
   * Rehydration of files that have successfully flushed should not fail in case of crash.
   * Files do not get replicated in CopyCat environment.
   * Blocks are distributed in Veritas Access over multiple directories to eliminate file system bottlenecks. This functionality is configurable through xml parameter "dist-layout". Once configured during volume creation, this can not be reverted/chnaged for that volume.
   * A new parameter has been introduced in the extended-config of the SDFS config file called sync-on-write. The default value of this parameter is "true".      This value should be set to "false" to get maximum performance.
   * Fixed deadlock issue under heavy load
   * Introduced ThreadPool to handle copycat notification requests
   * Changed default upload threads to 64

KNOWN ISSUE IN THE PATCH
