Whether the gpfs.so module is included depends on each Samba build. Samba provided by Linux distributions typically does not include the gpfs.so module. Sernet package include it. The gpfs.smb Samba build we use in Spectrum Scale also obviously includes the gpfs.so module:
 
# rpm -ql gpfs.smb | grep gpfs.so
/usr/lpp/mmfs/lib64/samba/vfs/gpfs.so
 
The main point from a Spectrum Scale point of view: Spectrum Scale only supports the Samba from the gpfs.smb package that was provided with the product. Using any other Samba version is outside of the scope of Spectrum Scale support.

I do not think so, the module is a part of samba. I installed the package gpfs.smb too but with the same result. Before I use the normal version of samba I used the version of sernet. There was the module available. Now I am working with CentOS 7.3 and samba of the offical repository of CentOS.

Thanks,
Matthias

If you're running the IBM-supported protocols server config, you want the rpm 'gpfs.smb'.

If you're trying to build your own, your best bet is to punt and install the IBM code. ;)
