Hi,
I try to replicate some data that resides on two CentOS servers. The replicated 
data should be shared using Samba to the users. It should be avoided that two 
users 
try to work on the same file using MS Office. If the users access the same file 
on one server, one of them is not able to modify the file. This is possible 
(and the normal operation)
if one uses one server with Samba. I assumed that this kind of lock would be 
replicated too.
 
I did not knew about  libgfapi and have not used it yesterday. I used the fuse 
mounted directory as data source for Samba.
 
Yesterday night I updated both CentOS servers. They are CentOS 6.5 now. Now 
locking does not happen at all any more. After you mentioned libgfapi I found 
this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13033.html
 
I managed to compile the module and switched to samba-glusterfs-vfs. But I 
still have no locking
My Samba configuration looks like this:
[glusterdata-vfs]
   vfs object = glusterfs
   glusterfs:volume = gv0
   path = /
   glusterfs:loglevel = 2
   glusterfs:logfile = /var/log/samba/glusterdata-vfs.log
 
   read only = no
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = no
   printable = no
   nt acl support = yes
   acl map full control = yes
 
Thank you for your attention.

Hi,
I have set up glusterfs 3.4.2 over an 10Gig xfs filesystem on two CentOS 6 
servers. The gluster filesystem is shared through Samba on both servers.
Replication is working like a charm but file locking is not. Is it possible to 
have file locking working in this configuration in an way that Microsoft Office 
2010
behaves like as if the files were on the same server? Does somebody have such 
an configuration?
I tried a lot of the Samba configurations found on the mailing list but none 
showed the expected results.

Are you using Samba with libgfapi? I am not sure if I understand your 
expectation on locking through Samba. Some more context would be nice.

Thank you
