Section Number and Name: 
6.4.3. Sharing Volumes over SMB

Describe the issue: 
On the steps below, emphasize that this has to be done on all nodes that share the gluster volume and provide an example to easy understand what is required in a few lines. This is what we can read:

"If you are using Samba-4.9.8-109 or later:"
...

... "Following steps need to be performed on every node in the cluster." 

   "1. Mount GlusterFS volume via FUSE and record the FUSE mountpoint for further steps: "


Suggestions for improvement: 
I'll propose to high light this on the documentation:

   1. Have a local mount using native gluster protocol fuse on every gluster node that shares the gluster volume via samba : Mount GlusterFS volume via FUSE and record the FUSE mountpoint for further steps: 

For example, for gluster volume "myvol" and mount point "/mylocal" , add on /etc/fstab an entry like:

localhost:/myvol /mylocal glusterfs defaults,_netdev,acl 0 0
