similar to: gpfs + sernet samba + ctdb + transparent failover confusion

Hi all, I have two rhel 6.3 servers running sernet samba 4.1.4-7 with winbind connecting to AD. They're also running ctdb. For some very strange reason I can't get one specific AD group to show up in the output of "id username" or the gid of that group to show up in "wbinfo -r username" for the user on one of the servers but it shows up fine on the other. The strange

Hi, I noticed that smbcontrol smbd reload-config or service smbd reload doesn't reload include files. Is there anyway to get a reload to reload files that have been included from the main smb.conf ? Otherwise it only looks like restart works, but that causes connections to reset, even in a ctdb/clustered environment . The only other option it looks like is to just put everything into the

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

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 - 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 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, 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, last weekend I've updated samba and ctdb on my 2-node cluster. Samba is now on 3.5.6 (from 3.3.4), ctdb on 1.0.114 (from 1.0.84). Both installed from repo via yum and ctdb-packages. After restarting both nodes everything was fine, we could access files on the cluster. On monday I noticed that the nodes didn't had their initial adresses: Node 1: hostname dscln01, public IP

In IRC today, someone who was hitting that same IB performance ceiling that occasionally gets reported had this to say [11:50] <nissim> first, I ran fedora which is not supported by Mellanox OFED distro [11:50] <nissim> so I moved to CentOS 6.3 [11:51] <nissim> next I removed all distibution related infiniband rpms and build the latest OFED package [11:52] <nissim>

Hi, Running samba sernet 4.1.6-7, I've noticed the load avg slowly / steadily creeping up (.e.g > 100). I'm now noticing that several smbd processes are at 100%. I don't actually notice that much bandwidth usage on the system (e.g. iptraf/iftop). Any idea what's causing this? Restarting smbd helps for a few days, but then the high load avg returns. Thanks, Sabuj

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've been migrating data from an old striped 3.0.x gluster install to a 3.3 beta install. I copied all the data to a regular XFS partition (4K blocksize) from the old gluster striped volume and it totaled 9.2TB. With the old setup I used the following option in a "volume stripe" block in the configuration file in a client : volume stripe type cluster/stripe option

Hi all, Does anyone have vfs_shadow_copy2 working with an alternate snapshot directory format? My snapshots look like this : drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140113_12:00 drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140114_12:00 drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140115_12:00 drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140116_12:00 drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10

Hi, Anyone know if the 1024 char limit for auth.allow still exists in the latest production version (seems to be there in 3.2.5). Also anyone know if the new versions check if auth.allow has been updated without having to restart glusterd? Is there anyway to restart glusterd without killing it and restarting the process, is kill -1 (HUP) possible with it (also with the version i'm running?)

I'm about to do some testing with a an OSX 10.9 client connected to sernet samba 4.1.5 to see what things work and don't both from the finder and from the terminal with unix extensions = yes and no. Does anyone know of any show stopping issues that occur with unix extensions = yes and the latest samba (or 3.6.x, or 4.0.x a) and the latest OSX (or latest update with 10.7 & 10.8)?

Hi, I've got this strange problem where a striped endpoint will crash when I try to use cp to copy files off of it but not when I use rsync to copy files off: [user at gluster5 user]$ cp -r Python-2.6.4/ ~/tmp/ cp: reading `Python-2.6.4/Lib/lib2to3/tests/data/fixers/myfixes/__init__.py': Software caused connection abort cp: closing

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

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, Why does mkfs.ocfs2 take so long compared to gfs2 (pretty fast iirc), xfs (almost instantaneous), or ext3 (slow but still ok)? I'm using: # mkfs.ocfs2 -F -b 4k -C 4k -L san1 -T mail /dev/vg/san1 mkfs.ocfs2 1.3.9 Overwriting existing ocfs2 partition. WARNING: Cluster check disabled.
