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).

Marc.
