Create a samba share on gluster volume from http://192.168.1.244:8081/create_share/ page.

Try to access it from window machine

This requires us to install a package

http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/samba/CentOS/epel-6/x86_64/samba-vfs-glusterfs-4.1.11-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

It is for now installed in 244, primary. Needs testing and go as a part of install.

With package installed we are able to access only gluster volume as share not the shares created from integral view. The reason is smb.conf file contains only volume entries in it so they getting accessable as shares.

When a share is created its entry in smb.conf file should be created as said in link http://blog.gluster.org/category/samba/

a snippet from the above link:

Now we have a started service, we can go ahead and add the configuration for the share. A regular samba share would look something like:

[share] comment = just a share path = /share read only = no guest ok = yes valid users = jon

The reason for this is that the older version of samba that we were testing against had its default smb.conf path in /etc. If we change common.py's smb_conf_path to point to /etc/samba instead, it will generate the file in the correct path.

Verified and resolved in the current build.
