Thank you for showing interest in this feature.
We are actively working on this and recently fixed a few bugs. We are testing the patches and they will be upstream after that.(estimating it to be fairly tested in 2 weeks).
Here is a quick overview of the new integration method

Change regarding usage is you need to have gluster shares defined in smb.conf in this way.
The entry should look like
[gluster-volname]
comment = For samba export
of volume <volname>
vfs objects = glusterfs
glusterfs:volume =
<volname>
path = /
read _only_ =no
guest ok = yes
We will upload the detailed user-guide and other documentation soon.
Thanks
