Hi Christian, Yes but samba - without having "shared shares" in a multiple writer configuration - works since the beginning even with acl. You need the -o acl and everything should be fine. You can build up a static active/active samba configuration where server a serves share a and b serves share b .. and all shares lying in different directories of the same GFS FS. Don't forget a stable and persistent id-mapping with Windows and Unix users. You only need some "tweaks" if using everything on GFS (i.e. /etc/samba and /var/cache/samba and the like).
