A little strange things, but i'm hitting my head on the wall... I needed to 'enlarge' my main filesystem (XFS backed-up), that contain my main samba share and a brick for a GFS share; i've setup a new volume (for the VM), formatted XFS, move all the file taking care to umount and stop GFS (so, syncing the brick, not the GFS filesystem) using --acls and -attrs rsync options. All went well, all the share work as expected, apart the GFS one: folder appears with correct permission, files are not accessible from samba; i've tried from a unix user in console and works as expected. If (from windows) i create new files, permissions are OK. Only preexistent files (files, not folders!) are inaccessible. In samba the share is: [FVG] comment = Regionale (FVG) volume = FVG path = / browseable = yes writeable = yes map acl inherit = yes store dos attributes = yes inherit permissions = yes vfs objects = recycle full_audit glusterfs glusterfs:volume = gv0 kernel share modes = no recycle:repository = .cestino/%U recycle:keeptree = yes recycle:versions = yes recycle:exclude=*.TMP,*.tmp,*.temp,*.o,*.obj,~$* full_audit:prefix = %S|%d|%I|%M|%u full_audit:success = mkdir rmdir read pread write pwrite rename unlink full_audit:failure = none gluster version 3.8.8-1+deb9u1, samba version 4.10.18+dfsg-0.1stretch1 . Permission linux side are different but seems not incoherent: root at vdmsv1:/srv/fvg/Ufficio Paghe# getfattr -m - -d Copia\ di\ fvg.xlsx Prova\,\ DELME.txt # file: Copia di fvg.xlsx system.posix_acl_access=0sAgAAAAEABwD/////AgAHAAAAAAAEAAcA/////wgABwD5KgAACAAFAAgrAAAIAAcAHysAAAgABwA3KwAAEAAHAP////8gAAAA/////w=trusted.SGI_ACL_FILE=0sAAAACQAAAAH/////AAcAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAcAAAAAAAT/////AAcAAAAAAAgAACr5AAcAAAAAAAgAACsIAAUAAAAAAAgAACsfAAcAAAAAAAgAACs3AAcAAAAAABD/////AAcAAAAAACD/////AAAAAA=user.DOSATTRIB=0sMHgyMAAAAwADAAAAEQAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABD7z36KtcBAAAAAAAAAAAuser.SAMBA_PAI=0sAgSQCQAAAAABOCsAAAAAKTAAAAAAKTAAAAABOCsAAAABNysAAAABHysAAAABCCsAAAAB+SoAAAAC/////w= # file: Prova, DELME.txt system.posix_acl_access=0sAgAAAAEABwD/////BAAHAP////8IAAcA+SoAAAgABQAIKwAACAAHAB8rAAAIAAcANysAABAABgD/////IAAAAP////8trusted.SGI_ACL_FILE=0sAAAACAAAAAH/////AAcAAAAAAAT/////AAcAAAAAAAgAACr5AAcAAAAAAAgAACsIAAUAAAAAAAgAACsfAAcAAAAAAAgAACs3AAcAAAAAABD/////AAYAAAAAACD/////AAAAAA=user.DOSATTRIB=0sMHgyMAAAAwADAAAAEQAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAICC3quz2dkBAAAAAAAAAAA root at vdmsv1:/srv/fvg/Ufficio Paghe# getfacl Copia\ di\ fvg.xlsx Prova\,\ DELME.txt # file: Copia di fvg.xlsx # owner: stefano # group: pp_uffconta user::rwx user:stefano:rwx group::rw- group:sir:rw- group:sv_reamm:r-- group:sv_uffpers:rw- group:pp_uffpers:rw- group:pp_uffconta:rw- mask::rwx other::--- # file: Prova, DELME.txt # owner: gaio # group: sir user::rwx group::rwx #effective:rw- group:sir:rwx #effective:rw- group:sv_reamm:r-x #effective:r-- group:sv_uffpers:rwx #effective:rw- group:pp_uffpers:rwx #effective:rw- mask::rw- other::--- 'Copia\ di\ fvg.xlsx' is an old file, 'Prova\,\ DELME.txt' a test file created ex-novo.
