Hello, We're trying to set up a GPFS system with Samba running on top with CTDB managing it. I have snapshots set up to be accessible in every directory as the invisible directory .snap The snapshots are in the following format: /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmcrsnapshot 1MB `TZ=GMT date + at GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S` ?and look like this from the UNIX level:

Hi all, I met a problem with R-2.10.1 installation on AIX5.3. The error message is as following: make[3]: Entering directory `/rnd/homes/tmp/R-2.10.1/src/library/tools' building package 'tools' mkdir ../../../library/tools make[4]: Entering directory `/rnd/homes/tmp/R-2.10.1/src/library/tools' mkdir ../../../library/tools/R mkdir ../../../library/tools/po make[4]: Leaving

Hi all, I've got question (problem?) regarding samba exporting gpfs filesystem. My setup is very simple - gpfs client machine with gpfs filesystem mounted and samba server running on the top of it. I compiled samba with gpfs support, here is my smb.conf section: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes fileid:mapping = fsname use mmap = no

hi list, we have plans to implement GPFS in our heterogeneous environment (win, linux and mac clients; many linux servers) to scale better in file serving and improve availability. are there any recommendations regarding samba and GPFS and samba co-existing with NFSv4 (ACLs!) on GPFS on the same machine? or is this too experimental and we should either use samba or nfs in the cluster? i?ve read

Hi All, I'm having a frustrating time exporting a GPFS Independent Writer AFM fileset through Samba. Native GPFS directories exported through Samba seem to work properly, but when creating an export which points to an AFM IW fileset, I get "Access Denied" errors when trying to create files from an SMB client and even more unusual "Failed to enumerate objects in the container:

I was reviewing the GPFS VFS module this afternoon after I had a request to add Thumbs.db to the hide files option. Now I was under the impression that the GPFS VFS module mapped this through to the Windows attributes on the under lying file system. That is assuming that your GPFS file system is sufficiently recent to support Windows attributes. I did some experimentations with a Terminal

Hi, I'm trying to set up samba share exporting gpfs filesystem and I strugle with setting sharemode to yes. Samba is 3.6.5, gpfs version is 3.2.1-29 (the latest available for 3.2 branch). Everything works fine when sharemode is set to no, but I'd rather insist to switch it to yes. That's what man page says: no - do not propagate sharemodes across all GPFS nodes. This should only be

Hi all My apologies for dragging up a very old mail from the depths of the rsync archives: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2008-October/021963.html I'm trying to use Ronnie's patch to get rsync to copy my GPFS NFSv4 ACLs. I'm having trouble building Ronnie's gpfs.c though - it turns out my programming isn't up to a challenge greater than "configure; make"!

Hello! We indeed need debug level 10 logs of smbd. But I bet that you're running into an incompatibility between SMB and GPFS share modes. Those don't match 100%, so turning off gpfs:sharemodes might be worth a try. Of course, this means that you lose interop share modes. I'd be happy to analyze this further and assist you in making a proper GPFS query out of this if needed. With

Hello, does this bug still exists: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/IPyW4fzzpEetiWKnJyfJ ? It seems that I have the same problem, although "store dos attributes" is set (Samba 3.6.18; GPFS 3.5.0-11). Here my share definition: [shared] comment = <comment> path = <path> available = yes

Hi all, At some point recently my customers can no longer see GPFS snapshots under the Windows Previous Versions tab. It simply says "No previous versions available". If a fileset is exported with the flag "force user = root" then Previous Versions *are* displayed. [2016/07/06 10:07:35.602080, 3] ../source3/smbd/vfs.c:1322(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name:

List, We, IBM, have developed a patch that enhances RSYNC. This patch provides extensions to RSYNC to map to and use filesystem extensions present in the IBM GPFS cluster filesystem. (GPFS is a cluster filesystem for Linux and AIX that provides additional attributes such as NFSv4 ACLs, extended attributes and windows attributes in addition to the common posix permissions) This will greatly

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

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone might be able to speak about using IBM's GPFS filesystem as a means of storing virtual guests in a clustered environment with CentOS as the nodes and KVM as the hypervisor? I'm looking at using IBM's TSM software for archiving data from disk to tape. This requires buying a license for GPFS which is used in conjunction with TSM but can also be used

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

Hello Volker, I was able to get those level 10 logs - spitted by machine. Unfortunately I don't know how attachments behave - Groupwise seems not to be happy with those - so I try the redundant way: Here are the logfiles for this event (only one machine, one try): https://www.bitmammut.de/WDR/log.klnmszap32 In this file there are about 3 occurrences of the
