[Samba] Need help with variable substitution in smb.conf
Hi, We are using Samba to serve GlusterFS storage, below is the entry for the same in smb.conf: [gluster-vol3] comment = For samba share of volume vol3 path = %P/sub_dir read only = No guest ok = Yes vfs objects = glusterfs glusterfs:loglevel = 7 glusterfs:logfile = /usr/var/log/samba/glusterfs-vol3.%M.log glusterfs:volume = vol3 When path is defined as "%P/sub_dir", Windows 7 client fails to connect to the share, tried 'max protocol = NT1/SMB2', 'msdfs root = yes', 'host msdfs = yes' but would still not connect to the share. If the path is defined "/sub_dir" without %P, everything works well. But we need %P to get the subdirectory export working, else CTDB complains that the export was not found on the local system. Any inputs on why %P would not work or any other workarounds would be very helpful. Thank you, Poornima
