Title:
SMB: not reconnecting SOFS shares when a host goes down
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When using Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) shares, the same share is
exposed by multiple share servers through a single Distributed Network
Name.
When a host goes down, the share connections should be automatically
reestablished using a different share server.
The Linux CIFS client doesn't seem to support this, although
persistent handles are supported. If a host goes down, the share
becomes unavailable, while the client seems to enter an endless loop,
attempting to use the same share server address. Subsequent mount
attempts will fail as well.
SMB Witness support would also be desired, as this would reduce
failover time (currently marked as TODO[1]).
I've tested Ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0) and Ubuntu 18.04 (4.15.0) as well as
the latest upstream kernel (4.19). When using 4.15.0, the SOFS share
cannot be mounted at all, as described in a different bug report[2].
