hi All, What is the status currently accessing a gluster volume from Windows? I found this irclog entry: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/gluster/2013-02-07 18:52 johnmark we've been developing libgfapi, and we'll do some SAMBA VFS integration with the API 18:52 but that will be in 3.5, which might be out by the end of this year Can we expect significant speed improvements? What are the best samba settings for exporting a volume by cifs? We currently use this smb.conf, but the performance is rather poor, about half or less of the fuse client an much. Re-exporting NFS mount is totally disaster. [global] socket options = IPTOS_THROUGHPUT TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_RCVBUF=131072 read raw = yes server string = %h write raw = yes #oplocks = yes max xmit = 131072 dead time = 15 getwd cache = yes use sendfile=yes block size = 131072 load printers = no aio write size = 16384 #aio write size = 262144 aio write behind = /*.*/ #write cache size = 262144 wins support = no local master = no wins server = 192.168.3.7 veto files = /.AppleDouble/ delete veto files = yes hide dot files = yes printing = BSD [projects] path = /W/Projects browseable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes read only = no force user = user force group = user When we want to use some non-conventional sw, like Adobe Premiere, Photoshop...etc, a more strict config is necessary with even less speed. Any suggestion? Thank you, tamas
