Hi, guys. I'm new to all of this and need some help with a problem I've been banging my head against for a while. (Tried troubleshooting, checking logs, and lots of Googling for a few weeks now, but just keep hitting dead ends.) SYMPTOM: Missing file `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so`, as evidenced by error messages like these: [2018/11/18 07:56:42.551587, 0] ../lib/util/modules.c:49(load_module) Error loading module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [2018/11/18 07:56:42.551652, 0] ../source3/smbd/vfs.c:184(vfs_init_custom) error probing vfs module 'glusterfs': NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL [2018/11/18 07:56:42.551694, 0] ../source3/smbd/vfs.c:379(smbd_vfs_init) smbd_vfs_init: vfs_init_custom failed for glusterfs [2018/11/18 07:56:42.551729, 0] ../source3/smbd/service.c:623(make_connection_snum) vfs_init failed for service music PROBLEM: I was able to get a simple Gluster+Samba+CTDB cluster working enough so that my Windows machines could see a read-only share, and it seemed that if one Gluster node went offline the other would (eventually) pick up so that the share remained available. However I read that samba-vfs-glusterfs would allow a more seamless transition when a Gluster node goes down, and also allow Samba to talk directly to the Gluster storage without having to go through FUSE. However all of the documentation and tutorials I can find are either for non-Ubuntu systems or doesn't work (obsolete versions, PPA not found, etc). Basically I've done this (representative sample because my full changelog and automation scripts would be too lengthy): 1) Gluster/Samba/CTDB config, but without the ZFS RAID-1 configuration https://www.gluster.org/gluster-cifs-zfs-kind-of-part-2/ 2) Add and configure `samba-vfs-modules` https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_glusterfs.8.html 3) Try to add/pin André Bauer's custom PPA to get any customized versions that might be needed https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-August/023339.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333264 I also tried a couple permutations of 'apt get' to see if the different packages were installing differently based on what other packages were installed, but I haven't found the magic sequence yet. It looks like glusterfs-common has a "libglusterfs.so" for Ubuntu 18 (https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.10/ubuntu-universe-i386/glusterfs-common_4.1.2-1_i386.deb.html) and Ubuntu 16, but that package is already installed and I'm still getting the error so there's something else I'm missing. ENVIRONMENT: Samba 4.7.6-UBUNTU glusterfs 4.1.2 I can't tell if this is a Gluster problem or a Samba problem, but I figure I can't be the only Gluster user trying to set up this configuration (and having this problem) so I'm starting here first. Can someone please give me a clue what direction I should be looking in? Thank you, -Neil
