Packaging of Samba hook scripts

    Hi All,

    
    We have 3 hook scripts in glusterfs/extras/hook-scripts named as
    below.

    
      S30samba-set.sh
      S30samba-start.sh
      S30samba-stop.sh
    
    The purpose of the hook scripts to do the required changes in
    smb.conf automatically for each gluster volume start/stop/set
    operations. Script assumes each Gluster nodes will be used as Samba
    Servers for the Gluster volumes. So with hook scripts we dont have
    to do manual changes to smb.conf. 

    
    As of now the scripts will not work with Samba 4.X series and
    GlusterFS vfs plugin for Samba 4.x. It needs a small change and the
    fix is present in Gerrit as below.

    Now the question , should we package these scripts in way that it
    would be helpful when somebody uses GlusterFS vfs plugin for Samba
    with GlusterFS? Suggestions?

    
    I and Kaleb had a discussion on #gluster and came up with below
    idea.

    
      Samba hook scripts can be packaged as a serrate package e.g. :
        glusterfs-samba-hooks RPM

      
        The package will be built while building glusterfs 

        
        Installing GlusterFS wouldn't install it automatically.

        
        The samba-vfs-glusterfs would require it i.e. it would get
          installed automatically while installing samba-vfs-glusterfs
          as a dependency.

        
    The location of the hook scripts should be as below (I think this
      holds true for all the Linux/GNU distributions). If you copy the
      scripts manually to desired path it would work too. 

    
    /var/lib/glusterd/hooks/1/start/post/S30samba-start.sh

      /var/lib/glusterd/hooks/1/stop/pre/S30samba-stop.sh

      /var/lib/glusterd/hooks/1/set/S30samba-set.sh

    
    There is another hook script for Samba CTDB i.e. S29CTDBsetup.sh.
      We can take that in to account too. 

    
    Thanks,

      Lala
