It's probably doable.

The only reason it's not advisable — IMO — is that it's not what we're
doing, and getting help could be pretty hard.

The Samba team has all the CTDB experience. I've poked them — hopefully
they will respond.

Is there some reason you don't want to use Pacemaker and Corosync?

Off hand I can't think of any reason why not.

https://github.com/linux-ha-storage/storhaug is basis for the Common HA
solution for NFS-Ganesha and Samba that GlusterFS-3.10 will be using.
N.B. It's also based on Pacemaker and Corosync.
