RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

How reproducible:
On demand 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup GlusterFS / Samba configuration as per documentation provided for Gluster 3.0 / 3.1 https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3/html/Administration_Guide/sect-SMB.html
2. Attempt to mount samba share from client (mount -t cifs -o guest,sec=none //gluster2/gluster-mythinvol1 /mnt/samba/mythinvol1)


Actual results:
Samba share is not mountable due to error between samba and gluster

[root@glusterclient1 ~]# mount -t cifs -o guest,sec=none //gluster2/gluster-mythinvol1 /mnt/samba/mythinvol1/
mount error(13): Permission denied


Expected results:
Samba share is mounted

To fix this error i added global configuration to /etc/samba/smb.conf and restarted smb

follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
unix extensions = no

After which following command works
[root@glusterclient1 ~]# mount -t cifs -o guest,sec=none //gluster2/gluster-mythinvol1 /mnt/samba/mythinvol1/

└─/mnt/samba/mythinvol1          //gluster2/gluster-mythinvol1
                                            cifs           rw,relatime,vers=1.0,cache=strict,domain=GLUSTER2,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.0.112,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,nounix,serverino,rsi


Additionally i found an error information describing this from Samba https://attachments.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=11744


Seems to me without these parameters either documented or defaults and according to documentation the functionality does not work.

Attached patch above is indeed the fix for this issue.
The issue had been introduced as a side effect of a security update 4.2.7:

  https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.2.7.html

It was fixed in 4.2.8:

 https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.2.8.html

 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11647

The packages used seem to be rhel samba packages.
I guess the bufix need to be ported to these.

It is not a glusterfs bug, afaict.
