# AIStor Memory (aimem) RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z Released: 2026-10-30 This AIStor Memory (aimem) release fixes Kubernetes volumes on a Memory Bucket named after an `aimem` command, such as `list` or `delete`, which failed to mount with the CSI driver from RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z. The documentation and `aimem --help` now recommend giving the bucket as an `s3://bucket/` URI. --- ## Downloads ### Binaries | Platform | Architecture | Download | | -------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Linux | amd64 | [aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | | Linux | arm64 | [aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | The setuid `aimem-fusermount` mount helper, the `aimem-bio` binary that `aimem bio` runs, and the Kubernetes CSI node driver are published beside it: | Binary | Architecture | Download | | ------------------ | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `aimem-fusermount` | amd64 | [aimem-fusermount.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem-fusermount.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | | `aimem-fusermount` | arm64 | [aimem-fusermount.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem-fusermount.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | | `aimem-bio` | amd64 | [aimem-bio.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem-bio.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | | `aimem-bio` | arm64 | [aimem-bio.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem-bio.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | | `aimem-csi-driver` | amd64 | [aimem-csi-driver.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem-csi-driver.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | | `aimem-csi-driver` | arm64 | [aimem-csi-driver.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem-csi-driver.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z) | Each binary has `.sha256sum`, `.minisig`, and `.asc` files at the same path. These links point into `archive/`, where a release's files stay after a newer release ships, so they always serve this build. The unversioned `…/linux-{arch}/aimem` path serves whatever release is newest. ### Packages `.deb`, `.rpm`, and `.apk` install the `aimem` client, the setuid `aimem-fusermount` mount helper (`/usr/bin/aimem-fusermount`, mode 4755), and `aimem-bio`. They also install a disabled example `mnt-aimem.mount` systemd unit and the `/sbin/mount.aimem` helper it needs. | Format | Architecture | Download | | ------ | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | DEB | amd64 | [aimem_20261030224052.0.0_amd64.deb](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem_20261030224052.0.0_amd64.deb) | | DEB | arm64 | [aimem_20261030224052.0.0_arm64.deb](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem_20261030224052.0.0_arm64.deb) | | RPM | amd64 | [aimem-20261030224052.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem-20261030224052.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm) | | RPM | arm64 | [aimem-20261030224052.0.0-1.aarch64.rpm](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem-20261030224052.0.0-1.aarch64.rpm) | | APK | amd64 | [aimem_20261030224052.0.0_x86_64.apk](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive/aimem_20261030224052.0.0_x86_64.apk) | | APK | arm64 | [aimem_20261030224052.0.0_aarch64.apk](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-arm64/archive/aimem_20261030224052.0.0_aarch64.apk) | The packages depend only on libc (`libc-bin` / `glibc-common`); no `libfuse` is needed. ### Container Images ```bash # The aimem client, pinned to this release: docker pull quay.io/minio/aistor/aimem:RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z # The Kubernetes CSI node driver, pinned to this release: docker pull quay.io/minio/aistor/aimem-csi-driver:RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z ``` The `latest` tag of each image also points at this release, but moves when the next one ships. To verify a build, pin the release tag or a `@sha256:` digest, never `latest`. Mounting from a container needs `/dev/fuse`. As root, it also needs `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` (or `--privileged`). As a non-root user, the container needs `SYS_ADMIN` added to its capabilities and `allowPrivilegeEscalation: true`, so the setuid helper can run. ### Verification Each binary is signed with minisign (preferred) and GPG, and has a sha256sum file. ```bash BASE=https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/linux-amd64/archive curl -fsSLO $BASE/aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z curl -fsSLO $BASE/aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z.minisig curl -fsSLO $BASE/aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z.sha256sum # minisign minisign -Vm aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z \ -P RWTx5Zr1tiHQLwG9keckT0c45M3AGeHD6IvimQHpyRywVWGbP1aVSGav # sha256: the checksum file names the versioned binary, so keep that file name sha256sum -c aimem.RELEASE.2026-10-30T22-40-52Z.sha256sum ``` The minisign public key above is the MinIO release-signing key, used across the AIStor product line. --- ## Changes since RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z ### Bug Fixes #### Kubernetes CSI driver - A volume whose bucket is named `create`, `convert`, `list`, `get`, `delete` or `credentials`, and that sets no `prefix`, failed to mount with the RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z driver, because `aimem` ran the command of that name instead. The driver now passes every bucket to `aimem` as an `s3://` URI, so these volumes mount again with no change to their attributes. (#272) ### Documentation - The mount examples, the CLI reference and `aimem --help` now give the bucket as `s3://bucket/`, or `s3://bucket/prefix/` for a sub-prefix. A URI is never taken for an `aimem` command, so use it in scripts, fstab entries and systemd units. The bare `bucket` and `bucket/prefix/` forms still work. (#272) ### Platform / Compatibility - Linux amd64 and arm64, glibc 2.34 or later. - Mounting needs `/dev/fuse`. As root, or with `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, aimem mounts directly; any other user mounts through the setuid `aimem-fusermount` helper. FUSE passthrough also needs `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`; without it, a mount serves ordinary FUSE reads. --- ## Security & Compliance Software bills of materials (SBOMs) for this release, generated from the `Cargo.lock` files at the release tag.

If you held a volume's driver at RELEASE.2026-10-27T17-44-57Z because of the known issue in RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z, you can upgrade it now. - **Upgrading from a release before RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z:** read the [RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z notes](https://dl.min.io/aistor/aimem/release/notes/release-notes-RELEASE.2026-10-30T18-15-12Z.md) first. They reserve six bucket names for the new top-level commands and make `aimem delete` ask for confirmation. ## Documentation - Hosted docs: ## Support - Security disclosures: security@min.io - Licensed customers and contributors: contact MinIO support.
