Details

As of samba 4.13.2-1, the package lacks the GlusterFS VFS module (/usr/lib/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so) which is used to improve read and write performance with Gluster volumes.
Samba's man pages include an example on how the module would be used:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_glusterfs.8.html

There is a simple fix though: just add "glusterfs" to the makedepends of the PKGBUILD for samba. After that, the configure step will correctly find the Gluster libraries and allow the compilation of the VFS.
The module doesn't do anything if it isn't directly used in a share definition (see the man page linked above), so it won't break existing users.

The package correctly builds on x86_64 (under Docker; I'll test it under a VM as soon as I have some free time) and ARMv7h. Tested from samba 4.11.x through 4.13.2.

Keep in mind that this module is fundamentally different from vfs_glusterfs_fuse (/usr/lib/samba/vfs/glusterfs_fuse.so).
This task depends upon

FWIW, also tested on 4.14.2, and it works fine.
