What versions of GlusterFS and Samba have you installed? And which platform/distro are you using as
Samba server?

Please paste the output of `gluster volume info <VOLNAME>`.

Can you please check for any errors in brick logs under /var/log/glusterfs/bricks/ while you face
this Finder error?

Can you please share the output of `testparm -s`?

Is that a simple copy operation? Did you verify whether the file content itself is written
completely? We have experienced similar error while copying large files into GlusterFS volumes where
the real copy operation was completed successfully and the remaining extra extended attribute
setting failed which resulted in a Finder error. Just wanted to check whether it is the same case or
not?

Apart from this write issue, are you facing any other issues while accessing GlusterFS volumes from
Mac via Samba using vfs_fruit module? We would like to really fix any obvious errors which stops Mac
users working with GlusterFS volumes.
