Getting and Building CTDB
From SambaWiki
Getting CTDB Source code
If you download source code for Samba >= 4.2.0 then CTDB is included in the ctdb
subdirectory.
Binary packages
- Your operating system may include pre-built packages for Samba and CTDB
- If you use pre-built packages then you need to ensure that Samba was built with cluster support
- You can get information about smbd's clustering features:
# smbd -b | grep -i 'ctdb\|cluster' CLUSTER_SUPPORT CTDB_SOCKET Cluster support features: CLUSTER_SUPPORT CTDB_SOCKET: /var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket CTDB_PROTOCOL: 1
- Note that output may vary slightly, but the
CLUSTER_SUPPORT
feature must be present.
- CTDB will usually be in a separate package to other Samba components called
ctdb
Building from source code
CTDB should be built with Samba. Add the following options to the ./configure
command.
--with-cluster-support
- This enables clustering support in Samba and includes CTDB in the build
--with-shared-modules=idmap_rid,idmap_tdb2,idmap_ad
- Clustered Samba needs an IDMAP facility so it is worth building a few
Other than that, just follow instructions for building Samba.
Legacy CTDB versions
You should use a version of CTDB that comes with a supported Samba version.
However, legacy, standalone versions of CTDB are still available (including 2.x). These versions were used with Samba versions older than 4.2.0.
The code is also available from the CTDB git repository at git://git.samba.org/ctdb.git. See also the GIT web interface.
