[Gluster-users] samba-vfs-glusterfs share problems

[Steve Dainard]

Hi Diego,

Awesome, works - much appreciated.

As far as I can search this isn't listed anywhere on the gluster.org
docs, but there is a link to a blog hosted here:
https://lalatendumohanty.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/using-glusterfs-with-samba-and-samba-vfs-plugin-for-glusterfs-on-fedora-20/

And it is also documented here:
https://www.mankier.com/8/vfs_glusterfs for future searches.
