similar to: samba cluster on multi tiered storage / hierarchial storage management

Hi list! While regular backup solutions like amanda or bacula are very good at their job, ie keeping point2point copies of the files currently on disk, I find them less suited for archiving - having unused files move to tape in duplo and stay there until requested. I've even read of multi-tier solutions - move to slower disks after a week and further on to tape after a month. Does anyone

Dear all, this is the first public announcement of scannedonly. Scannedonly is a samba VFS module that ensures that only files that have been scanned for viruses are visible and accessible to the end user. Scannedonly was developed because of scalability problems with samba-vscan: high server loads when (the same) files were requested often, and timeouts when large zip files were requested.

I''ve been experimenting lately with btrfs RAID1 implementation and have to say that it is performing quite well, but there are few problems: * when I purposefully damage partitions on which btrfs stores data (for example, by changing the case of letters) it will read the other copy and return correct data. It doesn''t report in dmesg this fact every time, but it does

Hi, I am setting up ctdb samba, and have hit a brick wall trying to solve the following issue. 1. getent does not retrieve the list of domain users or groups (wbinfo works fine) I'm not sure what I'm missing but I've almost spent the whole day trying to resolve this one and haven't made any progress :-( Any help or suggestions are appreciated My configuration is

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

Great information, thank you.

Hi, in the following scenario I've got the Problem of "STATUS_SHARE_VIOLATION". Client A (with User 1) copies a file to share X. (with: DENY_NONE 0x120196 WRONLY NONE) Client B (with User 1) reads this file from share X (with: DENY_NONE 0x120089 RDONLY NONE) Now Client C (with User 1) wants also to read this file from share X and gets the STATUS_SHARE_VIOLATION.

Hi all, We're running gpfs 3.5.0.12 (5 total nsds & quorum servers, 2 nsds running samba), sernet-samba 4.1.4-7, and ctdb 1.0.114.7-1 and trying to get transparent failover to work from a windows 8 client. We have ctdb failover working, i.e. if I run mmshutdown on one of the nodes the IPs failover in a few seconds after the GPFS mount is unmounted. For our transparent failover test, I

Hello, I am using the vfs_gpfs samba module to map ACLs through samba. It works fine on files, but directory ACLs are ignored. Ex: getfacl /sb/share/myplace/ file: sb/share/myplace/ owner: root group: root user::rwx user:afrankel:rwx group::--- mask::rwx other::--- When I try to access this folder in Windows, I get permission denied. The same permissions on a files, I can open it / modify it

Hi, I am using samba samba3-3.3.4-39, with ctdb ctdb-1.0-69.x86_64, gpfs gpfs-3.2.1 on centos 5.3 x86_64. My problem is that from samba share I can't read file permissions and file ownership, although I'm in "domain admins" group, which has full permissions(rwx) via inherited acl (not user or group ownership). If I'm in a group that owns the file, I can read the permissions,

Hi - I was wondering if any of you may be able to point me in the right direction. I am in the process of designing a fairly large fileserver solution in an MS Active directory environment. I have setup and tested ctdb samba, however, after several discussions with a couple of my colleagues, i am now considering a more vanilla flavour of samba. The key features the solution requires are: •

Hi All, Are there any special CTDB/SMB configuration settings/dependencies to manage Winbind across CTDB managed servers authenticating via Active Directory(AD)? An example would be Samba's IDMAP backend for Winbind: RID vs. AD or tag Winbind to a primary CTDB node and point other nodes to authenticate from AD via proxy primary CTDB node? /etc/sysconfig/ctdb on all nodes is as follows:

Hi Can anyone advise me on "kernel oplocks" in a ctdb cluster. I have a ctdb (GPFS is the parallel file system) setup that uses samba (3.5.8) for cifs and IBM CNFS for NFS. Reading the documentation on kernel oplocks it seems to me that I can export the same area via samba and NFS with "kernel oplocks = Yes" . My logic is that IBM CNFS has shared NFS locking

Hi I'm encountering an error with some of my Windows clients when using CTDB and samba to access a GPFS hosted share. We see the following error all the time. [2011/03/14 12:31:16.549084, 1] modules/vfs_gpfs.c:1099(vfs_gpfs_ntimes) vfs_gpfs_ntimes: set GPFS ntimes failed -1 The copy continues but is slow. All the timestamps seem reasonable for the data copied. The GPFS

I have been working on a CTDB cluster on and off for a while now. I had it working great for a while. THen I decide dthat I wanted to change the configuration of my replicated volumes. I changed my DRBD configuration to match my desired configuration. Now I can get the CTDB to work quite right. I am able to join the cluster to the domain without issues. I can also list my ad users and groups using

Dear list, We are about to upgrade to Samba 4.2.9 from sernet-samba 4.1.6 + CTDB 1.0.114.7 running on top of GPFS. My understanding is that as of 4.2, CTDB is now part of Samba. So does this mean we need to uninstall all of our sernet-samba and ctdb RPMs (we are on CentOS 6), then install the sernet-samba 4.2.9 rpms and reconfigure everything for CTDB? For those who have done this, how

Hi Samba Users, I'm in the process of building a Samba4 CTDB /GPFS Cluster joined as a member server to AD that also supports ACL's . It has taken some time but almost everything is working now :) . My one outstanding issue is editing files using Excel 2007 on Windows 7 results in a 'Document not saved' error. I believe this is an issue with the SMB2 protocol as I can edit the same

Hi - i was wondering how a ctdb samba (or IBM SOFS) solution provides full NTFS ACLs support? - Is there a specific vfs module which must be loaded? etc... I am in the process of designing a very large fileserver within an Active directory domain. I have seen a SOFS presentation on the web and was wondering if the ctdb samba & gpfs approach would be an reasonable solution? Any

Hi , I have set up a 2-node CTDB cluster serving NFS and CIFS authenticating Windows and Linux users via Active Directory. The setup works fine, except only one server in the CTDB-cluster is able to join the AD domain at a given instance. If you manually add the other server into AD, the already connected server gets disconnected. There is no specific error message logged in /var/log/message or

Hello All, I'm trying to set up linux ssh/shell authentication on a CentOS_6.2 server running smbd version 3.5.10-114 using winbind/smb/pam. We've done this successfully using the tdb backend but wanted users to get the same UID/GID on every machine. Switched to rid for the backend but users still got a foreign number for UID and their default group was always Domain Users. So I'm
