[Gluster-users] RPMs for Samba 4.1.3 w/ Gluster VFS plug-in for RHEL, CentOS, etc., now available

Fri Feb 14 01:07:44 UTC 2014

Hi,

This is failing for me.  I've had the same problems after trying to build
my own vfs_glusterfs from source.  I'm certain I'm doing something stupid.

Client is a Windows Server 2008R2 64bit machine with AD authentication.

Server is CentOS 6.4, Gluster 3.4.1GA, Samba 4.1.4 with matching
samba_vfs_glusterfs as per this thread, AD authentication (sssd for the
Linux/PAM/nsswitch side, and Samba is configured as a member server).  The
Gluster volume is working fine (this is our production test/backup cluster,
and has been in operation for over a year).

Samba works fine when pointing to a local FUSE mount (this is how we run in
production today for Windows and Mac clients).  When I change to
vfs_glusterfs, it all goes wrong.

Client errors include:

Action: On Windows regular windows explorer directory browsing
Result: All good.  Much faster than regular Samba to FUSE.

Action: On Windows: Right click -> New ->  Text Document
Result: "Unable to create the file "New Text Document.txt".  The system
cannot find the file specified.

Action:
On a Linux box: dmesg > test.txt
On Windows: double-click test.txt
Result: The process cannot access the file because it is in use by another
process

Action: On Windows: drag and drop a text file to a share
Result: nothing (file not copied, no error dialog).

Samba logs:
