[Bug 1281493] Re: Add Glusterfs VFS support

[André Bauer]

I just added an trusty ppa for this:

https://launchpad.net/~monotek/+archive/samba-vfs-glusterfs

Nothing in the package source was changed except "glusterfs-common" as
build dependency in the debian control file, which is enough to build
the gluster vfs module, because glusterfs is enabled by default in samba
configure script.

Because this is a very small change it should be easy to implement this
in the standard package.

Title:
  Add Glusterfs VFS support

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Samba currently misses the VFS plugin for Glusterfs. You can find it
  on glusterforge:

  https://forge.gluster.org/samba-glusterfs

  Our goal is to provide a seamless experience sharing GlusterFS volumes
  over SMB to all clients. This means leveraging Samba’s VFS (Virtual
  FileSystem) layer’s capabilities to bypass the filesystem layer and
  talk to GlusterFS as a directly-accessed object store.

  This project exists to provide an independent development space for a
  VFS module known as vfs_glusterfs, and is focused on integration with
  Samba version 3.6.9. Another version of vfs_glusterfs exists in the
  master Samba branch which is focused on integration with the latest
  and greatest version of Samba.
