Re: [Gluster-users] Samba ctdb questions

2017-02-09 Thread Ira Cooper
Hello, I'd recommend reading about CTDB Registry based configuration, and how it works. For any clustered CTDB setup where you can use it, it will likely make your life easier. I recommend Googling on it, and reading the smb.conf, and ctdb man pages. I think that should make things clearer.

Hello, Minor problem: Can you tell us what operating system, Samba version and Gluster version you are using? For Samba problems in general, I recommend looking at the samba logs, first, seeing if the problem is recorded in the logs, if not, cranking the log level to 10, then trying again. If

Anand, I also have a concern regarding the user-serviceable snapshot feature. You rightfully call out the lack of scaling caused by maintaining the gfid -> gfid mapping tables, and correctly point out that this will limit the use cases this feature will be applicable to, on the client side. If

The difference is that the vfs plugin intercepts the IO operations and runs them through libgfapi, instead of running them over FUSE. If you see differences, we'd be glad to see what you see! In general, we see higher performance via the vfs module. Thanks, -Ira - Original Message -

There is, but before disabling flock, I'd like to understand why we are doing it. I thought we implemented posix locking in gluster? The parameter will be named "locking", and I believe it can be set to posix, use a TDB, or nothing. Thanks, -Ira - Original Message - > Hi, > > It see
