Yes and no what?

That samba comes from the CentOS-Base/updates repo.

If you don't use the Storage SIG you will get glusterfs 3.8.4,
client-side only; also from the CentOS-Base/updates repo.

That samba's rpm (.spec file) says it Requires: GlusterFS > 3.4, but in
all likelihood it was built with GlusterFS 3.8.4 from the Base/updates repo.

But the original question was about EPEL, and there is no version of
Samba or GlusterFS in EPEL. Enable the EPEL repo and disable the
Base/updates repo and try `yumdownloader samba\*` or `yumdownloader
glusterfs\*`. You won't get anything.

And if we extrapolate to the CentOS Storage SIG, there's still no
version of Samba there either. It would be nice if there was, but there
isn't.
