[Gluster-users] windows access

[Papp Tamas]

hi All,

What is the status currently accessing a gluster volume from Windows?

I found this irclog entry:

we've been developing libgfapi, and we'll do some SAMBA VFS integration with the API

but that will be in 3.5, which might be out by the end of this year


Can we expect significant speed improvements?



What are the best samba settings for exporting a volume by cifs?

We currently use this smb.conf, but the performance is rather poor, about half or less of the fuse 
client an much.
Re-exporting NFS mount is totally disaster.


[global]
     socket options =  IPTOS_THROUGHPUT TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_RCVBUF=131072
     read raw = yes
     server string = %h
     write raw = yes
     #oplocks = yes
     max xmit = 131072
     dead time = 15
     getwd cache = yes
     use sendfile=yes
     block size = 131072
     load printers = no
     aio write size = 16384
     #aio write size = 262144
     aio write behind = /*.*/
     #write cache size = 262144
     wins support = no
     local master = no
     wins server = 192.168.3.7
     veto files = /.AppleDouble/
     delete veto files = yes
     hide dot files = yes
     printing = BSD

[projects]
         path = /W/Projects
         browseable = yes
         public = yes
         guest ok = yes
         read only = no
	force user = user
	force group = user


When we want to use some non-conventional sw, like Adobe Premiere, Photoshop...etc, a more strict 
config is necessary with even less speed.


Any suggestion?

Thank you,
