[Gluster-users] vfs_gluster broken

[Terry McGuire]

Hello list.  I had happily been sharing a Gluster volume with Samba using vfs_gluster, but it has recently stopped working right.  I think it might have been after updating Samba from 4.6.2 to 4.7.1 (as part of updating CentOS 7.4 to 7.5).   The shares suffer a variety of weird issues, including:

- sporadic connection refusals (credentials are accepted as valid, but volume is unavailable)
- on Mac, when attempting to write a file: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)."
- on Windows, sometimes when writing and sometimes when reading: "Z:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect"
-on Mac and Windows, the contents of the volume in Finder/Explorer windows sometimes disappears, sometimes reappearing later, sometimes not.
- on Mac (and similar on Windows), volume icon sometimes disappears - maybe the volume unmounts, but it's unclear.

All these issues vanish when I switch to sharing the FUSE-mounted volume, but, of course, I lose the advantages of vfs_gluster.

My gluster version initially was 3.10.12.  I’ve since updated to gluster 3.12.13, but the symptoms are the same.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Regards,
Terry
