This announcement and the wiki would benefit from a sentence or two stating why someone would, or would not, choose to release the SIG Samba instead of the distro Samba. Thanks, Jim

Additionally it is aimed at maintaining GlusterFS integration by shipping samba-vfs-glusterfs package with specific VFS module for accessing GlusterFS volumes.> [1] https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage > [2] https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Samba > > Regards, > Anoop C S. > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
