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, 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, 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 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

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

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 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"!

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 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:

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.

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 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 list, I'm trying to use robocopy to move some files over to a samba share backed by GPFS. I keep getting "ERROR 50 (0x00000032) Time-stamping destination file ... The network request is not supported." What is strange is that the files are still coped over, even though robocopy believes the copy failed, and in the smb log I don't have any errors or erroneous NT_STATS

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: •

When a file is created with samba 3.5.x or 3.6.x, it is created effective read-only: ~ # getfacl Microsoft\ Word-Dokument\ \(neu\).docx # file: Microsoft\040Word-Dokument\040(neu).docx # owner: root # group: 11816 user::rwx user:11582:rwx #effective:r-- group::rwx #effective:r-- mask::r-- other::--- The ACL-settings for the parent directory are ok: ~ # getfacl . #

I am migrating the main file servers at work onto a new storage platform based on GPFS. I am using RHEL 5.6 with the samba3x packages (aka 3.5.4) recompiled to get the vfs_gpfs and tsmsm modules, with a couple of extra patches to vfs_gpfs module to bring it 3.5.8 level. It is running with ctdb against Windows AD 2008 R2 domain controllers with all the idmapping been held in the AD. In order to

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

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:

Hello list, I've got a ctdb cluster working against a GPFS cluster. I've got ACLs going and have set the default/active ACLs on my folders. The ACLs seem to be working fine, they are correctly limiting/allowing access to the said folders/files. My issue is that when using the windows client to view/change the ACLs everything goes south. When trying to view the ACLs via right clicking on
