GlusterFS 10 : GlusterFS + SMB2022/11/21

 
Configure GlusterFS volume to enable SMB protocol.
[1] Configure GlusterFS to enable SMB setting on a Node in GlusterFS Cluster.
[root@node01 ~]#
dnf -y install samba ctdb samba-vfs-glusterfs
# stop the target Gluster volume and change settings

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume stop vol_distributed

Stopping volume will make its data inaccessible. Do you want to continue? (y/n)
y

[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 authentication.
# 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 ~]#
umount /mnt

[root@node01 ~]#

[root@node01 ~]#

[root@node01 ~]#
smbpasswd -a fedora

New SMB password:    
# set any SMB password

Retype new SMB password:
Added user fedora.
[root@node01 ~]#
usermod -aG smbgroup fedora

[3] If SELinux is enabled, change policy.
[root@node01 ~]#
setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs on

[root@node01 ~]#
setsebool -P samba_load_libgfapi on

[root@node01 ~]#
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules on

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

success
[root@node01 ~]#
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

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 fedora

Password for [SAMBA\fedora]:
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
