<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>I try to replicate some data that resides on two CentOS servers. The replicated data should be shared using Samba to the users. It should be avoided that two users </DIV>
<DIV>try to work on the same file using MS Office. If the users access the same file on one server, one of them is not able to modify the file. This is possible (and the normal operation)</DIV>
<DIV>if one uses one server with Samba. I assumed that this kind of lock would be replicated too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did not knew about libgfapi and have not used it yesterday. I used the fuse mounted directory as data source for Samba.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yesterday night I updated both CentOS servers. They are CentOS 6.5 now. Now locking does not happen at all any more. After you mentioned libgfapi I found this:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I managed to compile the module and switched to samba-glusterfs-vfs. But I still have no locking</DIV>
<DIV>My Samba configuration looks like this:</DIV>
<DIV>[glusterdata-vfs]<BR> vfs object = glusterfs<BR> glusterfs:volume = gv0<BR> path = /<BR> glusterfs:loglevel = 2<BR> glusterfs:logfile = /var/log/samba/glusterdata-vfs.log</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> read only = no<BR> browseable = yes<BR> guest ok = no<BR> printable = no<BR> nt acl support = yes<BR> acl map full control = yes<BR></DIV>
