Hi Jeremy,

We are working through a couple of niggles, one of which is the 
inconsistent results from the ping_pong test, the other being the 
occasional odd permission issue when a file shows with the correct 
permissions on the FS but users are getting "Access Denied" errors. 
Simply "re-applying" the permissions seems to fix it, even though 
getfacl showed them correctly in the first place.

At the moment we're pretty happy with the Samba side of things. I did 
wonder if there was any help that you kind chaps might be able to give 
to the MooseFS guys if they need it (they've not asked yet but I've 
suggested they might be able to). Overall it's working well, and much 
better than when we tried to move Samba shares to GlusterFS (bad 
memories of that one, lots of small files were not a good match).

Many thanks for your message,

Alex
