[Daniel Müller]

But you need to have gluster installed!? Which version?
Samba4.1 does not compile with the lates glusterfs 3.4 on CentOs 6.4.

Betreff: Re: [Gluster-users] Status of the SAMBA module

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for showing interest in this feature.

We are actively working on this and recently fixed a few bugs. We are testing the patches and they will be upstream after that.(estimating it to be fairly tested in 2 weeks).

Here is a quick overview of the new integration method

 ----------------------
 Windows Client
 ----------------------
         ||
         ||
 ----------------------
   SAMBA (version 3.6)
        V
VFS PLUGIN (it a samba vfs plugin, samba allows you to write plugin which becomes recipient for calls which were originally supposed to go to VFS layer. It is activated on per-share basis.)
        V
   GFAPI
 ---------------------
        ||
        ||
----------------------
GLUSTERFSD
 ---------------------
 Legend:
-------: Boundaries of a box/node
 ||     : Network path
V     : Data transfer in both direction in same box


Change regarding usage is you need to have gluster shares defined in smb.conf in this way.
The entry should look like
[gluster-volname]
comment = For samba export of volume <volname>
vfs objects = glusterfs
glusterfs:volume = <volname>
path = /
read only =no
guest ok = yes

We will upload the detailed user-guide and other documentation soon.

Thanks
Raghavendra Talur
