Can `vfs_fruit` and `vfs_streams_xattr` be used to improve `MAC OSX Finder` performance for accessing SMB exported volumes in Red Hat Gluster Storage?
Issue
- Full support for SMB access using the
Mac OS X Finderin RHGS. - Bug reports state cases of bad performance while using Mac OSX
Finderwith Samba shares. - These bug reports discuss about the system calls
vfs_fruitandvfs_streams_xattr, as a solution to the performance impact with OSX and SMB. .- Are there any known issues with enabling these VFS calls.
- Are there are any issues with enabling these VFS objects, for example, negative interactions with Windows/Linux clients or any other VFS objects (like the shadow VFS object that makes snapshots accessible)?
Environment
- Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.2
