[Gluster-users] Samba ctdb questions

[Ira Cooper]

Hello,

I'd recommend reading about CTDB Registry based configuration, and how it works.

For any clustered CTDB setup where you can use it, it will likely make your life easier.

I recommend Googling on it, and reading the smb.conf, and ctdb man pages.  I think that should make things clearer.

I have no idea how well things will work on el7, I tend to do custom builds on Fedora, alas. :)

Cheers,

-Ira
