You need to do some tricks to get msoffice files with glusterfs and samba working. In your samba share definition: [example] path = /your/path/to share posix locking =NO <--- important setting readonly=no valid users =@yourgroup directory mask=2770 <--set sticky bit for your group force directory mode=2770 create mask = 2770 force create mode=2770 force security mode=2770 force directory security mode=2770 force group = yourgroup Its working for me.

November 2011 21:11 An: gluster-users at gluster.org Betreff: Using Samba and MSOffice files I cannot use Glusterfs(3.2.4) Samba export to edit MS Office (Word and Excel files) on the Windows side. I see that others complained about this issue before but I do not see any solution? I use Samba exporting other local disks and they have no issue, so I think the issue is related with Glusterfs.
