* volume: drop index entries that resolve to a different needle An index row whose offset lands on a needle with a different id and a different size cannot have been produced by any write path: every appender indexes a key at the offset and size of the record it wrote, and WriteNeedleBlob keeps its indexed size consistent with the blob header. Such rows are corruption (for example an offset replayed with stale high bytes) and until now made the volume reject every write for the key with "mismatching cookie" while reads resolved to the wrong needle. When the duplicate check finds the indexed record belongs to a different key and size, drop the stale entry and let the append re-index the key. Same-key conflicts still fail the cookie check, and entries staying consistent with a re-keyed blob keep their existing semantics. * volume: verify the indexed needle header before streaming reads The buffered read path re-parses the record and rejects a needle whose stored size disagrees with the index, but the streamed path serves data bytes without ever looking at the header, so a stale index row would stream another needle's payload. Probe the header once up front and report a miss when the record is neither the requested key nor the indexed size, the same staleness test the write path applies. * rust volume: drop index entries that resolve to a different needle Mirror of the Go volume change: when the duplicate check finds the indexed record belongs to a different key and size, delete the stale entry and let the append re-index the key. * volume: overwrite a stale index entry on commit, not up front Deleting the stale row during the duplicate check published a tombstone before the replacement append and, for durable writes, before its fsync. A failed append or sync then rolled back the data but left the key deleted. The publish step already overwrites any older offset, so leave the entry in place and let it be replaced once the record commits. * volume: report streaming header-probe failures to the io error tracker A failed header read returned before the tracked body-read loop, so repeated EIO on the probe never reached checkReadWriteError. Skip io.EOF the way the loop does: it is a truncated record, not a disk fault. * rust volume: overwrite a stale index entry on commit, not up front Mirror of the Go volume change: the staged delete published a tombstone before the replacement append and its .dat flush, so a failed append or sync left the key deleted. publish_write already overwrites any older offset once the record commits. * rust volume: report needle meta read failures to the io error tracker read_meta is the header probe ahead of a streamed body: an EIO there escaped check_read_write_error entirely, so a failing disk could not trip the tolerance. Report the outcome the way read_full already does. * volume: retry the wrapped offset before judging an index entry stale A 4-byte index value can index past the 32 GiB wrap: the low offset may hold another needle while the real record sits at +MaxPossibleVolumeSize, which is where reads already retry on a size mismatch. Skipping the cookie check on the low-offset record alone would accept a foreign-cookie write over a live key. Retry the wrapped header read first, the same condition the read path uses; a wrapped read that fails for reasons other than EOF stops the write like the low-offset read does. * volume: probe the streamed needle header under the access lock With HasSlowRead the access lock is dropped after the index lookup, so a compaction commit could swap the backend between the lookup and the header probe and fail a valid download on the old offset. Take the read lock for the probe and resolve the compaction revision first, the way the streaming loop re-resolves it on every page. * rust volume: retry the wrapped offset before judging an index entry stale Mirror of the Go volume change: probe offset + MAX_POSSIBLE_VOLUME_SIZE under the 4-byte-offset build before treating a mismatched record as stale, so a live wrapped entry still gets its cookie checked. * rust volume: do not clear the io error streak on a successful meta read read_meta runs before the payload read in read_needle_for_get, so recording success there reset the streak before every failing download and the volume could never reach quarantine. Report failures only; read_full still records success after a complete read. * volume: record a meta-only read's success against the io error streak A meta read no longer clears the streak because a payload read still follows on GETs, but requests the meta read ends outright — HEAD answers and cookie mismatches — never reached the body path, so their success left earlier failures counted. Note the success on those terminal paths; mirrored in the Rust volume server.

Record the meta-read success only where the request actually ends: must-meta-only reads, HEAD responses, and cookie mismatches — matching the Rust volume server's placement. * rust volume: record the streamed read's success at the final frame Hyper can complete a Content-Length response without polling the body again, so a success recorded only when the stream is next polled could be skipped, leaving an earlier io error streak in place after a successful download. * volume: record a meta-only read's success on conditional 304 replies * rust volume: record a meta-only read's success on conditional 304 replies * volume: reset the io error streak only after the checksum passes A streamed read that ends in a CRC mismatch still cleared the EIO streak, so corruption could mask progress toward quarantine.

SeaweedFS Volume Server (Rust)
A drop-in replacement for the SeaweedFS Go volume server, rewritten in Rust. It uses binary-compatible storage formats (.dat, .idx, .vif) and speaks the same HTTP and gRPC protocols, so it works with an unmodified Go master server.
Building
Requires Rust 1.91.1+ (2024 edition), matching rust-version in Cargo.toml.
The patch release matters: 1.91.0 does not build. The edition itself only needs
1.85; the higher floor comes from the dependency tree — chiefly the AWS SDK — so
it moves with those crates. CI builds on the latest stable.
cd seaweed-volume
cargo build --release
The binary is produced at target/release/seaweed-volume.
Running
Start a Go master server first, then point the Rust volume server at it:
# Minimal
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7
# Multiple data directories
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 \
--dir /mnt/ssd1,/mnt/ssd2 --max 100,100 --disk ssd
# With datacenter/rack topology
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7 \
--dataCenter dc1 --rack rack1
# With JWT authentication
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7 \
--securityFile /etc/seaweedfs/security.toml
# With TLS (configured in security.toml via [https.volume] and [grpc.volume] sections)
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7 \

Durable (fsync=true) uploads always go through per-volume batching workers
that share one .dat/.idx sync per batch, matching the Go volume server;
non-fsync writes take the synchronous path.
Features
- Binary compatible -- reads and writes the same
.dat/.idx/.viffiles as the Go server; seamless migration with no data conversion. - HTTP + gRPC -- full implementation of the volume server HTTP API and all gRPC RPCs including streaming operations (copy, tail, incremental copy, vacuum).
- Master heartbeat -- bidirectional streaming heartbeat with the Go master server; volume and EC shard registration, leader failover, graceful shutdown deregistration.
- JWT authentication -- signing key configuration via
security.tomlwith token source precedence (query > header > cookie), file_id claims validation, and separate read/write keys. - TLS -- HTTPS for the HTTP API and mTLS for gRPC, configured through
security.toml. - Erasure coding -- Reed-Solomon EC shard management: mount/unmount, read, rebuild, copy, delete, and shard-to-volume reconstruction.
- S3 remote storage --
FetchAndWriteNeedlereads from any S3-compatible backend (AWS, MinIO, Wasabi, Backblaze, etc.) and writes locally. SupportsVolumeTierMoveDatToRemote/FromRemotefor tiered storage. - Needle map backends -- in-memory HashMap, LevelDB (via
rusty-leveldb), or redb (pure Rust disk-backed) needle maps. - Image processing -- on-the-fly resize/crop, JPEG EXIF orientation auto-fix, WebP support.
- Streaming reads -- large files (>1MB) are streamed via
spawn_blockingto avoid blocking the async runtime. - Auto-compression -- compressible file types (text, JSON, CSS, JS, SVG, etc.) are gzip-compressed on upload.
- Prometheus metrics -- counters, histograms, and gauges exported at a dedicated metrics port; optional push gateway support.
- Graceful shutdown -- SIGINT/SIGTERM handling with configurable
preStopSecondsdrain period.

Go integration tests
The Go test suite can target either the Go or Rust volume server via the VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL environment variable:
# Run all HTTP + gRPC integration tests against the Rust server
VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust go test -v -count=1 -timeout 1200s \
./test/volume_server/grpc/... ./test/volume_server/http/...
# Run a single test
VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust go test -v -count=1 -timeout 60s \
-run "TestName" ./test/volume_server/http/...
# Run S3 remote storage tests
VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust go test -v -count=1 -timeout 180s \
-run "TestFetchAndWriteNeedle" ./test/volume_server/grpc/...
Load testing
A load test harness is available at test/volume_server/loadtest/. See that directory for usage instructions and scenarios.
Architecture
The server runs three listeners concurrently:
- HTTP (Axum 0.7) -- admin and public routers for file upload/download, status, and stats endpoints.
- gRPC (Tonic 0.12) -- all
VolumeServerRPCs from the SeaweedFS protobuf definition. - Metrics (optional) -- Prometheus scrape endpoint on a separate port.
