...up a SAMBA server serving a GlusterFS volume. Everything works fine if I locally mount the GlusterFS volume (`mount -t glusterfs ...`) and then serve the mounted FS through SAMBA, but the performance is slower by a 2x/3x compared to a SAMBA server with a local ext4 filesystem. I gather that SAMBA vfs_glusterfs module can give better performance. However, as soon as I switch SMBD to using GFAPI (`vfs objects = glusterfs`), the SMBD process crashes leaving a backtrace in the logs. I can see no errors in the associated GlusterFS log file and everything runs fine when locally-mounting. I am copying below...
