Hi Anoop,
This is an overview of how to use Central files in Revit:
https://revitpure.com/blog/how-to-use-central-and-local-files-in-revit
Once a central file is created, other folders are also created in the location of the file, which contains many other files.
[root@ysmha02 vfsgluster]# ls -la
total 385588
drwxrws---. 4 dijuremo Staff 4096 Nov 12 19:03 .
drwxr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Nov 7 19:51 ..
drwxrws---. 2 dijuremo Staff 4096 Nov 12 19:05 2017-07-06 CAPE CORAL CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017_backup
-rw-rw----. 1 dijuremo Staff 394825728 Jul 23 2017 2017-07-06 CAPE CORAL CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017.rvt
drwxrws---. 2 dijuremo Staff 4096 Nov 12 19:03 Revit_temp
So I copied the file 2017 2017-07-06 CAPE CORAL CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017.rvt to the network share:
\\ysmserver\vfsgluster
When I attempted to create a central file, it failed giving this error message:
This is the test samba share exported using vfs object = glusterfs:
[vfsgluster]
path = /vfsgluster
browseable = yes
create mask = 660
directory mask = 770
write list = @Staff
kernel share modes = No
vfs objects = glusterfs
glusterfs:loglevel = 7
glusterfs:logfile = /var/log/samba/glusterfs-vfsgluster.log
glusterfs:volume = export

So I copied the file 2017 2017-07-06 CAPE CORAL CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017.rvt to the network share:
\\ysmserver\vfsgluster
When I attempted to create a central file, it failed giving this error message:
A simple ls -l of the _backup folder shows there is an existing file there called incrementtable.2108.dat:
[root@ysmha02 vfsgluster]# ls -l 2017-07-06\ CAPE\ CORAL\ CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017_backup/incrementtable.2108.dat
-rw-rw----. 1 dijuremo Staff 2357 Nov 12 19:13 2017-07-06 CAPE CORAL CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017_backup/incrementtable.2108.dat
However, at this point, things are not OK. The file is *not* a central file. If I hit close and open the file again, then Revit will hang, usually just go into the usual windows "Not Responding" state. This can last for several minutes. I just closed the application via End Task after 5 minutes of waiting. Rather than double clicking on the file from the share, I also tried opening Revit first, then opening the file from Revit using the Open dialog. This also hangs the program.
In one occasion, I tried to manually delete the folders (long_name_backup and Revit_temp) from windows using File Explorer to try and recreate the central again and then the delete process hung in one file, preview.1957.dat for almost a minute, but it finally succeeded. This is not normal behavior.
On the server, I can see this is a rather small file:
[root@ysmha02 2017-07-06 CAPE CORAL CJDR_CENTRAL_R2017_backup]# ls -la
total 11
drwxrws---. 2 dijuremo Staff 4096 Nov 12 19:39 .
drwxrws---. 4 dijuremo Staff 4096 Nov 12 19:03 ..
-rw-rw----. 1 dijuremo Staff 2753 Nov 12 19:36 preview.1957.dat
[vfsgluster]
path = /vfsgluster
browseable = yes

vfs objects = glusterfs

glusterfs:logfile = /var/log/samba/glusterfs-vfsgluster.log

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Would you mind explaining the issue in detail? Apologies if you have already raised it here before
and could not get to resolution.
Please attach the output of `testparm -s` and any relevant error messages from logs under
/var/log/samba/ when glusterfs vfs module is being used.
