Samba service is automatically started by Red Hat Storage Server 2.0

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

By default, GlusterFS automatically modifies the smb.conf file and (re-)starts the smb service when a new volume is created. It does this regardless of the service being chkconfig'd off.

This is done via:

/var/lib/glusterd/hooks/1/start/post/S30samba-start.sh

And is documented at the following chapters in the Red Hat Storage 2.0 Administration Guide:

Because the default smb.conf file is likely not configured for proper interaction with the customer's Windows network, errors are generated in /var/log/messages. Additional error messages are generated because printer sharing is configured by default in smb.conf, but the cups package is not included by default in a RHS 2.0 standard installation.
