Fixed In Version: samba-4.11.6-102.el7rhgs, samba-4.11.6-102.el8rhgs
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Earlier, the directory entries did not initialize completely and hence Samba did not check correctly for DFS redirects. The Windows Explorer did not display the DFS redirects properly and instead of showing the redirects as directories, Samba displayed the redirects as files. With this fix, the Samba's vfs_glusterfs module has been fixed so that DFS redirects now work as expected.

Description Guenther Deschner 2019-12-18 12:18:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

When vfs_glusterfs is used on RHGS setups with Samba, msdfs redirects (stored as symlinks on disc) are not properly displayed when enumerating directories and thus cannot be selected for DFS redirection using Windows clients.

Fix available upstream.
