Yes it works if you use fuse mount No it does not work well if you use: vfs objects = glusterfs The samba comes directly from CentOS repository. Gluster comes from SIG 3.10.12 # rpm -qa | grep centos-release-gluster centos-release-gluster310-1.0-1.el7.centos.noarch # yum info samba Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, verify Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: reflector.westga.edu * extras: reflector.westga.edu * updates: reflector.westga.edu Installed Packages Name : samba Arch : x86_64 Version : 4.7.1 Release : 6.el7 Size : 1.9 M Repo : installed >From repo : base Summary : Server and Client software to interoperate with Windows machines URL : http://www.samba.org/ License : GPLv3+ and LGPLv3+ Description : Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and : Unix. # yum info glusterfs-server Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, verify Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: reflector.westga.edu * extras: reflector.westga.edu * updates: reflector.westga.edu Installed Packages Name : glusterfs-server Arch : x86_64 Version : 3.10.12 Release : 1.el7 Size : 4.3 M Repo : installed >From repo : centos-gluster310 Summary : Distributed file-system server URL : http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ License : GPLv2 or LGPLv3+ Description : GlusterFS is a distributed file-system capable of scaling to several : petabytes.

Much of the code in GlusterFS : is in user space and easily manageable. : : This package provides the glusterfs server daemon. Diego On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 2:58 PM Kaleb S.
