documented with a clear
path to resolution, then a bug report should be filed and that should be fixed.
Any other cases that
cannot be coded for require human intervention and are already documented.
Please tell me your thoughts.
There is no online documentation for v3.3. Every google search points to
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2_Filesystem_Administration_Guide
There is an Admin guide, but it's in pdf and html gzipped? Is it fun?:)
Also I'm afraid this guide is RH specific.
For example there is this section:
"If you are using Samba to access GlusterFS FUSE mount, then POSIX ACLs are
enabled by default.
Samba has been compiled with the
--with-acl-support
option, so no special flags are required
when accessing or mounting a Samba share."
How do you know about that?
Also there is no good cifs documentation.
I suggest adding a full smb.conf.
I asked here in the list for tuning help, with no answer, then later I found
the solution by google.
For me max/min protocol = SMB2 was the trick. But there can be locking issues (for example Adobe
Premiere and Photoshop).
I don't blame the list, but the online, searchable documentation should be more
helpful.
However of course this is a samba general issue at the same time.
And I think this guide should be used more or less by experts, not absolutely
beginners.
If someone is looking for the right information, it's hard to find, because too
verbose:
"Chapter 6. Accessing Data - Setting Up GlusterFS Client

6.3.1.2. Manually Mounting Volumes Using CIFS

Click

and enter the following:

This whol cifs section is obviously only an example:)
