Gluster users - Dec 2018 - Unable to create new files or folders using samba and vfs_glusterfs

Hi all,

I'm having an issue on Windows clients accessing shares via smb when using
vfs_glusterfs.  They are unable to create any file or folders at the root of the
share and get the error "The file is too large for the destination file
system."  When I change from vfs_glusterfs to just using a filesystem path
to the same location, it works fine (except for the performance hit).  All my
searches have led to bug 1619108, and that seems to be the symptom, but there
doesn't appear to be any clear resolution.  I'm on the latest version of
samba available on CentOS 7 (4.8.3) and I'm on the latest available
glusterfs 4.1 (4.1.6).  Is there something simple I'm missing to get this
going?

Thank you!

You figured out the right bug and following is the upstream Samba bug:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13585

Unfortunately it is only available with v4.8.6 and higher. If required
I can patch it up and provide a build.
