GlusterFS 9 : GlusterFS + SMB2021/05/25

 
Configure GlusterFS volume to enable SMB protocol.
For example, Configure SMB setting to a Gluster Volume [vol_distributed] like an example of the link here.
[1] Configure GlusterFS to enable SMB setting on a Node in GlusterFS Cluster.

[2] Configure Samba.
For example, Create a shared Folder that users in [smbgroup] group can only access to shared folder [smbshare] and also they are required user authetication.
# mount Gluster volume with GlusterFS Native and create a shared folder for SMB access

[root@node01 ~]#
mount -t glusterfs node01.srv.world:/vol_distributed /mnt

[root@node01 ~]#
mkdir /mnt/smbshare

[root@node01 ~]#
groupadd smbgroup

[root@node01 ~]#
chgrp smbgroup /mnt/smbshare

[root@node01 ~]#
chmod 770 /mnt/smbshare

[root@node01 ~]#

Retype new SMB password:
Added user cent.
[root@node01 ~]#

[3] If SELinux is enabled, change policy.

[root@node01 ~]#

[4] If Firewalld is running, allow services.
[root@node01 ~]#
firewall-cmd --add-service={samba,ctdb} --permanent

success
[root@node01 ~]#
firewall-cmd --reload

success
[5] Verify it can access to the target share with SMB from any Linux client computer.
The examples below are on Linux clients but it's possible to access from Windows clients with common way.
# verify with [smbclient]

[root@client ~]#
smbclient //node01.srv.world/gluster-vol_distributed -U cent

Enter MYGROUP\cent's password:
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.

# verify witable to move to shared folder
smb: \> cd smbshare

smb: \smbshare\> mkdir testdir
smb: \smbshare\> ls
