[Gluster-users] Samba-VFS-Glusterfs issues

[Jon Archer]

Hi all,

I'm currently testing out the samba-vfs-glusterfs configuration to look 
into replacing fuse mounted volumes.

I've got a server configured as per:
http://lalatendumohanty.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/using-glusterfs-with-samba-and-samba-vfs-plugin-for-glusterfs-on-fedora-20/
but am seeing an issue:
"Failed to set volfile_server..."

I have a gluster volume share:

Volume Name: share
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 06d1eb42-873d-43fe-ae94-562e975cca9a
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: storenode1:/gluster/bricks/share/brick1
Brick2: storenode2:/gluster/bricks/share/brick1
Options Reconfigured:
server.allow-insecure: on


and this is then added as a share in samba:
[share]
comment = Gluster and CTDB based share
path = /
read only = no
guest ok = yes
valid users = jon
vfs objects = glusterfs
glusterfs:loglevel = 10
glusterfs:volume = share


The share is visible at top level just not accessible, if i do try to 
access it I get a samba client log entry of:
[2014/07/17 13:31:56.084620, 0] 
../source3/modules/vfs_glusterfs.c:253(vfs_gluster_connect)
Failed to set volfile_server localhost


I've tried setting the glusterfs:volfile_server option in smb.conf to 
IP, localhost and hostname with the same response just specifying 
IP,localhost or hostname in the error message.

Packages installed are:

rpm -qa|grep gluster

samba-winbind-4.1.9-2.el6.x86_64
samba-client-4.1.9-2.el6.x86_64


for purposes of testing I have disabled SELINUX and flushed all firewall 
rules.

Does anyone have any ideas on this error and how to resolve?

Thanks

Jon
