[Gluster-users] major problems with Samba

In the past there have been problems with using  vfs = glusterfs in samba,
specifically failed writes when windows clients try to write to samba
shares that are accessing gluster directly using that vfs plugin. Have you
tried exporting the samba share from a FUSE mount? If that has no write
problems, then likely there is an issue or regression with the samba vfs
glusterfs plugin.
