Hi Anush,
I saw there was a similar question in user request mail list. And the answer solved my problem as well. 

Thank you anyway.

Hi Anush,
The conf. files are in the follow. And I have tried to modify the method fuse_statfs in 3.2.4 like this: 

   2297 |        ret = fuse_loc_fill (&state->loc, state, finh->nodeid, 0, NULL);  
Because I also test 3.3beta2, and it sets the ino as the finh>nodeid instead of 1.

Now, it is getting better, when I create, remove, modify folders, doc and excel files, the folder can refresh itself automatically. But still sometimes failed to open files by MS-Office. 

Here is the samba conf. file:
debian04:~# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

[aaa]
        comment = Public Directory
        path = /home/guest/Public

        browseable = yes
	valid users = guest
        writable = yes
        write list = guest,@guest

Subject: Doesn't work well with SAMBA

Hello,

I am using GlusterFS 3.2.4. When it is shared by SAMBA, on the windows client, it doesn't works well, the folder has to be refreshed manually for adding, renaming and removing, sometimes the MS office doc can't be opened. 

Could you help me with this?

Thanks a lot

Daniel
