6.4. SMB You can access Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol by exporting directories in Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes as SMB shares on the server. This section describes how to enable SMB shares, how to mount SMB shares manually and automatically on Microsoft Windows and macOS based clients, and how to verify that the share has been mounted successfully. Warning When performance translators are enabled, data inconsistency is observed when multiple clients access the same data. To avoid data inconsistency, you can either disable the performance translators or avoid such workloads. Follow the process outlined below. The details of this overview are provided in the rest of this section. Overview of configuring SMB shares Verify that your system fulfils the requirements outlined in Section 6.4.1, "Requirements for using SMB with Red Hat Gluster Storage" . If you want to share volumes that use replication, set up CTDB: Section 6.4.2, "Setting up CTDB for Samba" . Configure your volumes to be shared using SMB: Section 6.4.3, "Sharing Volumes over SMB" . If you want to mount volumes on macOS clients: Section 6.4.4.1, "Configuring the Apple Create Context for macOS users" . Set up permissions for user access: Section 6.4.4.2, "Configuring read/write access for a non-privileged user" . Mount the shared volume on a client: Section 6.4.5.1, "Manually mounting volumes exported with SMB on Red Hat Enterprise Linux" Section 6.4.5.4, "Configuring automatic mounting for volumes exported with SMB on Red Hat Enterprise Linux" Section 6.4.5.2.1, "Using Microsoft Windows Explorer to manually mount a volume" Section 6.4.5.2.2, "Using Microsoft Windows command line interface to manually mount a volume" Section 6.4.5.5, "Configuring automatic mounting for volumes exported with SMB on Microsoft Windows" Section 6.4.5.3, "Manually mounting volumes exported with SMB on macOS" Section 6.4.5.6, "Configuring automatic mounting for volumes exported with SMB on macOS" Verify that your shared volume is working properly: Section 6.4.6, "Starting and Verifying your Configuration" 6.4.1. Requirements for using SMB with Red Hat Gluster Storage Samba is required to provide support and interoperability for the SMB protocol on Red Hat Gluster Storage. Additionally, CTDB is required when you want to share replicated volumes using SMB. See Subscribing to the Red Hat Gluster Storage server channels in the Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 Installation Guide for information on subscribing to the correct channels for SMB support. Enable the Samba firewall service in the active zones for runtime and permanent mode. The following commands are for systems based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. To get a list of active zones, run the following command: To allow the firewall services in the active zones, run the following commands 6.4.2. Setting up CTDB for Samba If you want to share volumes that use replication using SMB, you need to configure CTDB (Cluster Trivial Database) to provide high availability and lock synchronization. CTDB provides high availability by adding virtual IP addresses (VIPs) and a heartbeat service. When a node in the trusted storage pool fails, CTDB enables a different node to take over the virtual IP addresses that the failed node was hosting. This ensures the IP addresses for the services provided are always available. Important Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) does not support VIPs and is hence not compatible with this solution. Prerequisites If you already have an older version of CTDB (version <= ctdb1.x), then remove CTDB by executing the following command: After removing the older version, proceed with installing the latest CTDB. Note Ensure that the system is subscribed to the samba channel to get the latest CTDB packages. Install CTDB on all the nodes that are used as Samba servers to the latest version using the following command: In a CTDB based high availability environment of Samba , the locks will not be migrated on failover. Enable the CTDB firewall service in the active zones for runtime and permanent mode. The following commands are for systems based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. To get a list of active zones, run the following command: To add ports to the active zones, run the following commands: Best Practices CTDB requires a different broadcast domain from the Gluster internal network. The network used by the Windows clients to access the Gluster volumes exported by Samba, must be different from the internal Gluster network. Failing to do so can lead to an excessive time when there is a failover of CTDB between the nodes, and a degraded performance accessing the shares in Windows. For example an incorrect setup where CTDB is running in Network 192.168.10.X: Note The host names, node1, node2, and node3 are used to setup the bricks and resolve the IPs in the same network 192.168.10.X. The Windows clients are accessing the shares using the internal Gluster network and this should not be the case. Additionally, the CTDB network and the Gluster internal network must run in separate physical interfaces. Red Hat recommends 10GbE interfaces for better performance. It is recommended to use the same network bandwidth for Gluster and CTDB networks. Using different network speeds can lead to performance bottlenecks.The same amount of network traffic is expected in both internal and external networks. Configuring CTDB on Red Hat Gluster Storage Server Create a new replicated volume to house the CTDB lock file. The lock file has a size of zero bytes, so use small bricks. To create a replicated volume run the following command, replacing N with the number of nodes to replicate across: For example: In the following files, replace all in the statement META="all" with the newly created volume name, for example, META="ctdb" . In the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, add the following line in the global section on all the nodes: Start the volume. The S29CTDBsetup.sh script runs on all Red Hat Gluster Storage servers, adds an entry in /etc/fstab for the mount, and mounts the volume at /gluster/lock on all the nodes with Samba server. It also enables automatic start of CTDB service on reboot. Note When you stop the special CTDB volume, the S29CTDB-teardown.sh script runs on all Red Hat Gluster Storage servers and removes an entry in /etc/fstab for the mount and unmounts the volume at /gluster/lock . Verify that the /etc/ctdb directory exists on all nodes that are used as a Samba server. This file contains CTDB configuration details recommended for Red Hat Gluster Storage. Create the /etc/ctdb/nodes file on all the nodes that are used as Samba servers and add the IP addresses of these nodes to the file. The IP addresses listed here are the private IP addresses of Samba servers. On nodes that are used as Samba servers and require IP failover, create the /etc/ctdb/public_addresses file. Add any virtual IP addresses that CTDB should create to the file in the following format: For example: Start the CTDB service on all the nodes. On RHEL 7 and RHEL 8, run On RHEL 6, run 6.4.3. Sharing Volumes over SMB After you follow this process, any gluster volumes configured on servers that run Samba are exported automatically on volume start. See the below example for a default volume share section added to /etc/samba/smb.conf : The configuration options are described in the following table: Table 6.8. Configuration Options Configuration Options Required? Default Value Description Path Yes n/a It represents the path that is relative to the root of the gluster volume that is being shared. Hence / represents the root of the gluster volume. Exporting a subdirectory of a volume is supported and /subdir in path exports only that subdirectory of the volume. glusterfs:volume Yes n/a The volume name that is shared. glusterfs:logfile No NULL Path to the log file that will be used by the gluster modules that are loaded by the vfs plugin. Standard Samba variable substitutions as mentioned in smb.conf are supported. glusterfs:loglevel No 7 This option is equivalent to the client-log-level option of gluster. 7 is the default value and corresponds to the INFO level. glusterfs:volfile_server No localhost The gluster server to be contacted to fetch the volfile for the volume. It takes the value, which is a list of white space separated elements, where each element is unix+/path/to/socket/file or [tcp+]IP|hostname|\[IPv6\][:port] The procedure to share volumes over samba differs depending on the Samba version you would choose. If you are using an older version of Samba: Enable SMB specific caching: You can also enable generic metadata caching to improve performance. See Section 19.7, "Directory Operations" for details. Restart the glusterd service on each Red Hat Gluster Storage node. Verify proper lock and I/O coherence: Note For RHEL based Red Hat Gluster Storage upgrading to 3.5 batch update 4 with Samba, the write-behind translator has to manually disabled for all existing samba volumes. If you are using Samba-4.8.5-104 or later: To export gluster volume as SMB share via Samba, one of the following volume options, user.cifs or user.smb is required. To enable user.cifs volume option, run: And to enable user.smb, run: Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4 introduces a group command samba for configuring the necessary volume options for Samba-CTDB setup. Execute the following command to configure the volume options for the Samba-CTDB: This command will enable the following option for Samba-CTDB setup: performance.readdir-ahead: on performance.parallel-readdir: on performance.nl-cache-timeout: 600 performance.nl-cache: on performance.cache-samba-metadata: on network.inode-lru-limit: 200000 performance.md-cache-timeout: 600 performance.cache-invalidation: on features.cache-invalidation-timeout: 600 features.cache-invalidation: on performance.stat-prefetch: on If you are using Samba-4.9.8-109 or later: Below mentioned steps are strictly optional and are to be followed in environments where large number of clients are connecting to volumes and/or more volumes are being used. Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 introduces an optional method for configuring volume shares out of corresponding FUSE mounted paths. Following steps need to be performed on every node in the cluster. Have a local mount using native Gluster protocol Fuse on every Gluster node that shares the Gluster volume via Samba. Mount GlusterFS volume via FUSE and record the FUSE mountpoint for further steps: Add an entry in /etc/fstab : For example: Where gluster volume is myvol that will be mounted on /mylocal Section 6.2.3.3, "Mounting Volumes Automatically" Section 6.2.3.2, "Mounting Volumes Manually" Edit the samba share configuration file located at /etc/samba/smb.conf Edit the vfs objects parameter value to glusterfs_fuse Edit the path parameter value to the FUSE mountpoint recorded previously. For example: With SELinux in Enforcing mode, turn on the SELinux boolean samba_share_fusefs : Note New volumes being created will be automatically configured with the use of default vfs objects parameter. Modifications to samba share configuration file are retained over restart of volumes until these volumes are deleted using Gluster CLI. The Samba hook scripts invoked as part of Gluster CLI operations on a volume VOLNAME will only operate on a Samba share named [gluster-VOLNAME] . In other words, hook scripts will never delete or change the samba share configuration file for a samba share called [VOLNAME] . Then, for all Samba versions: Verify that the volume can be accessed from the SMB/CIFS share: For example: Verify that the SMB/CIFS share can be accessed by the user, run the following command: For example: 6.4.4. Configuring User Access to Shared Volumes 6.4.4.1. Configuring the Apple Create Context for macOS users Add the following lines to the [global] section of the smb.conf file. Note that the indentation level shown is required. Load the vfs_fruit module and its dependencies by adding the following line to your volume's export configuration block in the smb.conf file. For example: 6.4.4.2. Configuring read/write access for a non-privileged user Add the user on all the Samba servers based on your configuration: Add the user to the list of Samba users on all Samba servers and assign password by executing the following command: From any other Samba server, mount the volume using the FUSE protocol. For example: Use the setfacl command to provide the required permissions for directory access to the user. For example: 6.4.5. Mounting Volumes using SMB 6.4.5.1. Manually mounting volumes exported with SMB on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Install the cifs-utils package on the client. Run mount -t cifs to mount the exported SMB share, using the syntax example as guidance. The sec=ntlmssp parameter is also required when mounting a volume on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. For example: Important Red Hat Gluster Storage is not supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6) from 3.5 Batch Update 1 onwards. See Version Details table in section Red Hat Gluster Storage Software Components and Versions of the Installation Guide Run # smbstatus -S on the server to display the status of the volume: 6.4.5.2.

In the Finder , click System Preferences > Users & Groups > Username > Login Items . Drag and drop the mounted volume into the login items list. Check Hide if you want to prevent the drive's window from opening every time you boot or log in. For further information about mounting volumes on macOS, see the Apple Support documentation: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mchlp1140/mac . 6.4.6. Starting and Verifying your Configuration Perform the following to start and verify your configuration: Verify the Configuration Verify the virtual IP (VIP) addresses of a shut down server are carried over to another server in the replicated volume. Verify that CTDB is running using the following commands: Mount a Red Hat Gluster Storage volume using any one of the VIPs. Run # ctdb ip to locate the physical server serving the VIP. Shut down the CTDB VIP server to verify successful configuration. When the Red Hat Gluster Storage server serving the VIP is shut down there will be a pause for a few seconds, then I/O will resume. 6.4.7. Disabling SMB Shares To stop automatic sharing on all nodes for all volumes execute the following steps: On all Red Hat Gluster Storage Servers, with elevated privileges, navigate to /var/lib/glusterd/hooks/1/start/post Rename the S30samba-start.sh to K30samba-start.sh. For more information about these scripts, see Section 13.2, "Prepackaged Scripts". To stop automatic sharing on all nodes for one particular volume: Run the following command to disable automatic SMB sharing per-volume: 6.4.8. Accessing Snapshots in Windows A snapshot is a read-only point-in-time copy of the volume. Windows has an inbuilt mechanism to browse snapshots via Volume Shadow-copy Service (also known as VSS). Using this feature users can access the versions of any file or folder with minimal steps. Note Shadow Copy (also known as Volume Shadow-copy Service, or VSS) is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that allows taking snapshots of computer files or volumes, apart from viewing snapshots. Currently we only support viewing of snapshots. Creation of snapshots with this interface is NOT supported. 6.4.8.1. Configuring Shadow Copy To configure shadow copy, the following configurations must be modified/edited in the smb.conf file. The smb.conf file is located at etc/samba/smb.conf. Note Ensure, shadow_copy2 module is enabled in smb.conf. To enable add the following parameter to the vfs objects option. For example: Table 6.9. Configuration Options Configuration Options Required? Default Value Description shadow:snapdir Yes n/a Path to the directory where snapshots are kept. The snapdir name should be .snaps. shadow:basedir Yes n/a Path to the base directory that snapshots are from. The basedir value should be /. shadow:sort Optional unsorted The supported values are asc/desc. By this parameter one can specify that the shadow copy directories should be sorted before they are sent to the client. This can be beneficial as unix filesystems are usually not listed alphabetically sorted. If enabled, it is specified in descending order. shadow:localtime Optional UTC This is an optional parameter that indicates whether the snapshot names are in UTC/GMT or in local time. shadow:format Yes n/a This parameter specifies the format specification for the naming of snapshots. The format must be compatible with the conversion specifications recognized by str[fp]time. The default value is _GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S. shadow:fixinodes Optional No If you enable shadow:fixinodes then this module will modify the apparent inode number of files in the snapshot directories using a hash of the files path. This is needed for snapshot systems where the snapshots have the same device:inode number as the original files (such as happens with GPFS snapshots). If you don't set this option then the 'restore' button in the shadow copy UI will fail with a sharing violation. shadow:snapprefix Optional n/a Regular expression to match prefix of snapshot name. Red Hat Gluster Storage only supports Basic Regular Expression (BRE) shadow:delimiter Optional _GMT delimiter is used to separate shadow:snapprefix and shadow:format. Following is an example of the smb.conf file: In the above example, the mentioned parameters have to be added in the smb.conf file to enable shadow copy. The options mentioned are not mandatory. Note When configuring Shadow Copy with glusterfs_fuse modify the smb.conf file configurations. For example: In the above example `MOUNTDIR` is a local FUSE moutpoint. Shadow copy will filter all the snapshots based on the smb.conf entries. It will only show those snapshots which matches the criteria. In the example mentioned earlier, the snapshot name should start with an 'S' and end with 'p' and any alpha numeric characters in between is considered for the search. For example in the list of the following snapshots, the first two snapshots will be shown by Windows and the last one will be ignored. Hence, these options will help us filter out what snapshots to show and what not to. After editing the smb.conf file, execute the following steps to enable snapshot access: Start or restart the smb service. On RHEL 7 and RHEL 8, run systemctl [re]start smb On RHEL 6, run service smb [re]start Enable User Serviceable Snapshot (USS) for Samba. For more information see Section 8.13, "User Serviceable Snapshots" 6.4.8.2. Accessing Snapshot To access snapshot on the Windows system, execute the following steps: Right Click on the file or directory for which the version is required. Click on Restore versions . In the dialog box, select the Date/Time of the version of the file, and select either Open , Restore , or Copy . where, Open: Lets you open the required version of the file in read-only mode. Restore: Restores the file back to the selected version. Copy: Lets you copy the file to a different location. Figure 6.1. Accessing Snapshot 6.4.9. Tuning Performance This section provides details regarding improving the system performance in an SMB environment. The various enhancements tasks can be classified into: Enabling Metadata Caching to improve the performance of SMB access of Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes. Enhancing Directory Listing Performance Enhancing File/Directory Create Performance More detailed information for each of this is provided in the sections ahead. 6.4.9.1. Enabling Metadata Caching Enable metadata caching to improve the performance of directory operations. Execute the following commands from any one of the nodes on the trusted storage pool in the order mentioned below. Note If majority of the workload is modifying the same set of files and directories simultaneously from multiple clients, then enabling metadata caching might not provide the desired performance improvement. Execute the following command to enable metadata caching and cache invalidation: This is group set option which sets multiple volume options in a single command. To increase the number of files that can be cached, execute the following command: n , is set to 50000. It can be increased if the number of active files in the volume is very high. Increasing this number increases the memory footprint of the brick processes. 6.4.9.2. Enhancing Directory Listing Performance The directory listing gets slower as the number of bricks/nodes increases in a volume, though the file/directory numbers remain unchanged. By enabling the parallel readdir volume option, the performance of directory listing is made independent of the number of nodes/bricks in the volume. Thus, the increase in the scale of the volume does not reduce the directory listing performance. Note You can expect an increase in performance only if the distribute count of the volume is 2 or greater and the size of the directory is small (< 3000 entries). The larger the volume (distribute count) greater is the performance benefit. To enable parallel readdir execute the following commands: Verify if the performance.readdir-ahead option is enabled by executing the following command: If the performance.readdir-ahead is not enabled then execute the following command: Execute the following command to enable parallel-readdir option: Note If there are more than 50 bricks in the volume it is recommended to increase the cache size to be more than 10Mb (default value): 6.4.9.3. Enhancing File/Directory Create Performance Before creating / renaming any file, lookups (5-6 in SMB) are sent to verify if the file already exists. By serving these lookup from the cache when possible, increases the create / rename performance by multiple folds in SMB access. Execute the following command to enable negative-lookup cache: Note The above command also enables cache-invalidation and increases the timeout to 10 minutes.
