I am facing an issue with my GlusterFS setup. Here is the detailed description of the issue. I would appreciate any prompt help.
___________________________________________________________________________
Requirement
Creating a replicated shared drive with GlusterFS and have it accessible in Windows ActiveDirectory with the UNC path.
PS: All our servers are windows and in a single domain. Only GlusterFS servers are linux.
What I've achieved so far
I have setup GlusterFS with:
- Two gluster nodes (GlusterFS: ver 3.3.2 - OS: CentOS release 6.4)
- A replicated volume (gvol1).
- gvol1, mounted on both the nodes (say at /mnt/gvol1).
Working FINE till this point. Any file created in the mounted volume (on any node) is replicated to the volume (and the underlying brick) on both the nodes.
I have ALSO installed and configured SAMBA on both the nodes. Joined both the machines to our windows domain. This looks FINE too. I had success with these tests:
- AD authentication - SUCCESS
- Sharing a folder from linux through SAMBA. And accessing through windows machines. - SUCCESS
Problem
When I try to share the GlusterFS vol (mounted at /mnt/gvol1 on both the gluster nodes) through SAMBA. This is what happens:
- VIEWING the shared gluster volume in windows through UNC path (i.e. 'gvol1shared' is visible in \gnode1) - SUCCESS
- ACCESSING the shared gluster volume in windows through UNC (i.e. opening \gnode1\gvol1shared) - FAILED
I have tried various things but had no luck with this.
Note: I believe while testing GlusterFS couple of months ago, I did a work around for this issue. Instead of sharing the 'mounted volume' (i.e. /mnt/gvol1) through SAMBA, I shared the brick on one of the glusternodes (i.e. say /export/gluster/brick1). And I believe it worked. BUT Now when I write anything directly to the brick it doesn't replicate it to other bricks. So, I'm confused and doubt that it worked in first place. Or I need to change something to get this working too.
