Accesing Kadalu Storage Pools on Samba (tested both on source & using packages on ubuntu 22.04)

• Install kadalu-storage, samba, samba-vfs-modules smbclient
• Create a Kadalu Storage Pool
• Append below at EOF for /etc/samba/smb.conf

  [myshare]
     path = /
     vfs objects = glusterfs
     glusterfs: volume = pool1
     glusterfs: volfile_server = fc5f92df48f7:49252
     browseable = yes
     read only = yes
     guest ok = yes
  

  Where volume is name of storage-pool & volfile_server is name:port of any one of the volfile servers in kadalu-storage, which can be found through kadalu pool list --status --detail
• Restart samba daemon

  systemctl restart smbd
  

• Access kadalu-storage pool through samba client to check if it is good for export in Windows etc.

  smbclient //<samba-server-ip>/<shared-folder>
  

  Here:

  smbclient //fc5f92df48f7/myshare
