The document discusses integrating Samba with Gluster and FUSE. It notes that Samba expects POSIX behaviors that Gluster can provide, like cache coherency and POSIX locking support. FUSE presents a problem as it locks away Gluster internals. The document proposes that the Samba VFS layer could allow Gluster features to be selectively enabled or disabled per access method. Building a Samba VFS module for Gluster was discussed but example code was omitted.

It grew, over time, to include 75 primary commands and an unbounded number of secondary commands. CIFSCIFS: Common Internet File System A 1990's marketing upgrade. CIFS is just another name for SMB1. Microsoft officially dropped the CIFS name in 2012. SMB1SMB1: A new name for SMB, as implemented in Windows NT and still used in Windows today. SMB2SMB2: A new protocol intended to eventually replace SMB1. SMB2.0 was included in Windows Vista. SMB2.1 in W2K8r2 and Windows7. SMB3SMB3: Just another dialect of SMB2 (specifically SMB2.2). SMB3 adds support for cluster and multipath features.
