Description Anoop C S 2018-03-21 10:15:32 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1164778 +++

Description of problem:
Gluster volume smb share options are getting overwritten whenever we restart the volume.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify any of the field from gluster volume share in /etc/samba/smb.conf
2. Like "read only" = "no" to "yes"
3. Stop and start the volume 
4. It will again become "read only" = "no" 

Actual results:
Changed configuration parameters are coming back to default value

Expected results:
They should not 

Additional info:
This is happening because we delete all gluster volume share at the time of stopping the volume with help of gluster smb hook scripts and again we freshly create these gluster volume shares when we start the volume.

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/19750 committed in master by "Poornima G" <pgurusid> with a commit message- extras/hooks: Do not blindly remove volume share from smb.conf

When Gluster volumes are shared via Samba, any extra smb.conf parameter
setting done by administrator to those shares are lost during restart
of the volume. Instead of removing the whole share completely from
smb.conf(via hook scripts during volume stop) it is better to make it
temporarily unavailable to end-users till the volume is started again.
Therefore we make use of a smb.conf parameter named 'available'[1] to
achieve the above intend.
