Hi
I'm encountering an error with some of my Windows clients when
using CTDB and samba to access a GPFS hosted share. We see the following
error all the time.
[2011/03/14 12:31:16.549084, 1] modules/vfs_gpfs.c:1099(vfs_gpfs_ntimes)
vfs_gpfs_ntimes: set GPFS ntimes failed -1
The copy continues but is slow. All the timestamps seem reasonable for
the data copied.
The GPFS version is 3.3.0-9 and samba is 3.5.6 compiled from source with
config line.
$ ./configure --with-ctdb=/usr/local/src/ctdb --with-cluster-support
--enable-pie=no --with-quotas --with-ads
--with-static-modules=pdb_ldap,pdb_smbpasswd,pdb_tdbsam,rpc_lsarpc,rpc_winreg,rpc_initshutdown,rpc_dssetup,rpc_wkssvc,rpc_svcctl2,rpc_ntsvcs2,rc_netlogon,rpc_netdfs,rpc_srvsvc,rpc_spoolss,rpc_eventlog2,rpc_samr,idmap_tdb,idmap_passdb,idmap_nss,idmap_tdb2,nss_info_template,auth_sam,auth_unix,auth_winbind,auth_server,auth_domain,auth_builtin,vfs_default
--prefix=/usr/local/samba-3.5.6
The gpfs module exists:
ls -l /usr/local/samba-3.5.6/lib/vfs/gpfs.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 58312 Jan 31 17:22
/usr/local/samba-3.5.6/lib/vfs/gpfs.so
The global section has
private dir = /RDSF_REPL/gpfs_admin/cifs_state/
clustering = yes
idmap backend = tdb2
fileid:mapping = fsname
vfs objects = gpfs fileid
gpfs:sharemodes = No
force unknown acl user = yes
nfs4: mode = special
nfs4: chown = yes
nfs4: acedup = merge
I have tried the setup with the following in the shares, and also with
it absent. It seems to make no difference.
vfs objects = gpfs fileid
Has anyone come across this. I only see it for some clients. I have no
direct control or access to the clients and so debug infor from them is
a little difficult.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Bob
