Description:

Samba > 4.2.0 ships with CTDB clustering support included in-tree. According to the Samba Wiki page on CTDB (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/CTDB_Setup), in order to support clustering the extra --with-clustering flag is needed during configure. The wiki page also mentions a bunch of shared idmap modules, but as far as I can see, we already build those.

When built with clustering support, a number of extra configuration files are needed. We might want to generate another binary package for ctdb, as I guess a lot of users just interested in file sharing don't need clustering support.

CTDB currently has a bug in the service scripts helping CTDB to manage services. I've raised this upstream already. Also, in my initial tests some of the config files the ctdb binaries expected below /usr/etc, despite the Arch build setting the config directory to /etc/samba. I'm still investigating if the Arch build is missing some extra flags, or if this is another upstream bug.
This task depends upon

I added a --with-cluster-support (seems to have changed since this bug was opened) and apart from things being in /usr/etc as mentioned above, everything seems to be working well; it would be nice to have this feature added. Thanks
