Description Vidya Sakar 2012-09-01 06:28:34 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #802036 +++

Description of problem:
Look up for link files on a CIFS mount fails


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.3.0qa26


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure samba and do a cifs mount of the gluster volume on a Linux client.
2. Run Posix tests on the mount pt which creates many symlinks
3. After the tests are completed, do a ls -lh on the mnt pt

Expected results:
Readlink should show the corresponding link to the file
ls -lh should show the proper permissions

Comment 2 Amar Tumballi 2012-09-04 08:09:45 UTC

Want to check if this is happening on RHS 2.0. Bug got opened in March10th/2012. Didn't had any report from RHS2.0 testing.

Comment 3 Ujjwala 2012-09-05 09:01:05 UTC

Tested it on RHS 2.0.z update 2 . The issue still exists.
The readlink and ls -lh gives following output, while the same files on fuse mount works fine.

Command output:

Comment 4 Amar Tumballi 2012-09-06 06:57:18 UTC

Chris, does samba depend on 'd_type' sent in readdir dentries? suspecting if that would be one of the possible reason for failure here.

Comment 5 Amar Tumballi 2012-10-31 10:09:43 UTC

> Tested it on RHS 2.0.z update 2 . The issue still exists.

Ujjwala, please try once with upstream RPMs and let me know what is the behavior.

Comment 7 Christopher R. Hertel 2012-11-02 21:10:29 UTC

Please help me understand these steps...

> Steps to Reproduce:

Samba doesn't do any form of mount, since it's the server.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is:
  Samba is running on a system with a GlusterFS volume mounted.
  Samba is exporting the GlusterFS volume as an SMB share.
  A Linux client node uses the Linux CIFS kernel client to mount the share.
Is that correct?

If so, please note that the Linux CIFS client will negotiate the UNIX Extensions for SMB1 and will create symlinks using those extensions.  Windows does not (or did not) support soft links in an accessible way.

> 2. Run Posix tests on the mount pt which creates many symlinks

I am not familiar with this test suite.

> 3. After the tests are completed, do a ls -lh on the mnt pt

There are also restrictions on the use of symbolic links that were added to Samba a couple of years back as a security fix.  Again, I don't believe that the native protocol supports symbolic links, so it was probably not considered a big problem when they were restricted.

This may be better answered by one of our CIFS Kernel hackers.

Comment 8 Amar Tumballi 2012-12-21 07:42:39 UTC

Ujjwala, marking it ON_QA for 3.4.0qa bits. Please run a round of tests and verify (and re-open if exists again).

Comment 9 Ujjwala 2012-12-27 06:22:12 UTC

Amar,

Ran tests on the build - glusterfs 3.4.0qa5 built on Dec 17
I see the same results.

Ujjwala, did you consider comment #7 from Chris?

We may have to call it a NOTABUG if symlink is not properly supported by CIFS itself.

Amar,

Sure.
If Symlinks are not completely supported by CIFS, then we can close it as NOTABUG 
and mention it in the documentation.

Comment 12 Amar Tumballi 2013-01-11 10:33:04 UTC

as per comment #7, symlink has issues with CIFS implementation. Hence closing the bug.
