<br>
With GA of latest major stable release(v4.17)[1] for Samba, there is a<br>
basic functionality breakage(see below) with GlusterFS backed SMB<br>
shares via libgfapi. Necessary patches for libgfapi were already<br>
identified and are now merged[2][3] with 'release-10' branch as<br>
backports from 'devel' branch.<br>
<br>
Samba packages(v4.17)[4] for Fedora rawhide are already in stable<br>
repositories and will soon be the case for other distributions. Looking<br>
at the tentative date for v10 update we are concerned as it will be a<br>
long 2 month gap where GlusterFS integration with latest(and greatest)<br>
Samba will stay broken.<br>
<br>
Thus we are requesting a soonish release to avoid such a long broken<br>
window where a lot more screams on this breakage are expected.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Anoop C S.<br>

<br>
Functionality breakage in a nutshell:<br>
"As a consumer of libgfapi, Samba used to differentiate between file<br>
and directory OPENs based on stat information(and thereby setting<br>
O_DIRECTORY flag) acquired prior to actual OPEN. Recent improvements in<br>
Samba took out the need for O_DIRECTORY in OPEN flags causing<br>
failure(with EISDIR) to connect to GlusterFS backed shares via<br>
libgfapi."<br>
