Hi Rob,
thanks for the quick response. I'm just getting the sources from
ctdb.samba.org and
getting forward to get things working (Quota-Reporting and ACl-Support for
Samba-Shares,
as asked for in samba@lists.samba.org (see below)).
I post this info to the samba- and gpfs-general list.
thanks
Ralph

[Samba] Samba 3.0.28 with VFS-Module "GPFS"
Ralph Cunnington
Fri, 11 Jan 2008 06:56:18 -0800
Hi Rob,
on your Info for Version 3.0.25 you pointed out the VFS-Module GPFS for
using features of the underlaying GPFS-Filesystem.
Also the man-pages-3/vfs_gpfs.8.html points to that module, but I can't
find it anywhere.
We are using a GPFS 3.2 3-Node Samba Cluster (3.0.24/28) on Dell HW.
We would be very glad if it is posible to get
- Quota Recognition for our users (we use "max disc size" but thats
not
the answer),
- Filesize reporting (MS-Explorer Discspace versus Unix "du" versus
GPFS
Blocksize (1024k)) and
- ACL-Support (nfs4) working
perhaps this plugin does it all ?
Can you point it out to me ?
Ralph
