A native restore commit that reaches a write quorum but not every drive
queues an MRF heal of the version. It passed the raw version ID, which is
empty for the null version, while the convergence path passes the
normalized "null". The heal boundary already reads an empty ID as the
null version, so the old entry healed the right version; this makes the
two paths queue the same identity.
The header of restore-capability.go still described the multipart upload
of the first native-restore design. It now describes what the capability
gate protects in the two-phase design: restore ownership through the
restore lock and the attempt marker, the staged commit under the object
lock, and the attempt fence. It also says why an unreachable server
blocks native restore: it is not proven stopped.
Test: TestRestorePartialCommitQueuesNullVersionHeal fails one drive's
commit on a noncurrent null version, checks the queued entry names
"null", and heals it back onto that drive. It fails on the base at the
identity check only.

The unreleased native-restore fixes after RELEASE.2026-10-26T00-00-00Z
let the lock decide who owns a restore. Since fa42a0982 a single-pool
worker holds the object lock for the whole tier download, and since
7f38bf628 a busy lock means "a restore runs". 7f38bf628 also keeps the
restore's data in a marked multipart upload. Two regressions followed:
- While an old version restored, every GET, HEAD and write of the same
key waited for the download. On a single pool this is new; with
several pools the released code already held the lock that long.
- An ordinary upload whose completion failed after staging its metadata
became InvalidUploadID for every caller, and could not be aborted for
an hour. The marker that hid restore uploads could not tell them apart
once a completion had rewritten the upload's xl.meta.
A restore now runs in two phases:
- The worker erasure-codes the tier copy into the tmp volume of the
version's set, without the object lock, as heal does. A drive that
fails any part, or misses a part when CheckParts runs before the
commit, takes no part in the commit.
- A restore lock per version tells whether a restore runs. POST takes it
before the object lock and hands it to the worker. It is a liveness
hint: only the checks under the object lock decide what is written.
- The commit takes the object lock briefly, on one pool or several. It
reads the version again and checks the attempt's ownership, the
version identity, the tier copy, the part layout and the erasure
layout. It then publishes with RenameData drive by drive, never
through erasure renameData's undo, and needs the write quorum. The
replaced data directory goes only when every published drive reports
the same one.
- A publication that reached some drives but not the write quorum
converges under the same lock hold, in bounded retries after it: back
to the unrestored version on every drive that holds it, or to a
committed restore when the copy turns out to be on a write quorum.
Each pass first checks that every drive holds what the version held
before the commit, the commit wrote, or a convergence wrote, and stops
on anything else. It deletes no directory.
Multipart goes back to main: erasure-multipart.go and
bucket-object-lock.go are identical to 69fcf50cd. The commit lock, the
marker and the restore exceptions of multipart completion and of the
null-version Object Lock check are gone, and single-pool completion
again takes the upload lock first and the object lock right before it
commits. With several pools, abandoned-data cleanup now takes the pools
lock that writes take, as heal does, so it cannot remove a directory
that a commit moved in place and has not yet referenced. The restore
capability becomes protocol 2, and a queued worker checks it again.
Recovery after a coordinator crash during publication, and storage RPCs
that complete after their caller returned, stay excluded. Main has the
same exposure, and they are tracked separately.
Tests:
- New regression tests cover both problems. They fail on f85d4a5fa,
and the multipart one also passes on main.
- Fault-injection tests cover a publication below the write quorum,
including seven of twelve drives on 8+4; lost answers; convergence
retries and stops; the old data directory; a stale inline marker; a
recreated tmp volume; a published revision read across its expiry; a
second POST; a target deleted during the download; a tier 404; and
pools-locked abandoned cleanup.
- Thirteen tests of the upload marker from 7f38bf628 are dropped, and
so is TestNativeRestoreConcurrentCompletion from fa42a0982, which
completed the restore's upload from a client. Four tests are reframed
for the new semantics, including the lock-domain restore test, which
now gates the commit.
- Three self-recursive WriteMetadata test doubles are fixed, and the
helpers of the dropped tests are removed.
