28 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
30 <para>This VFS module is part of the
31 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
32 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
36 (<ulink url="http://www.gluster.org/">http://www.gluster.org</ulink>)
37 is an Open Source clustered file system capable of scaling to
38 several peta-bytes. With its FUSE based native client,
39 GlusterFS is available as a POSIX compliant file system and can
40 hence be shared by Samba without additional steps.
44 The <command>vfs_glusterfs_fuse</command> VFS module provides an enhanced way
45 to access a Gluster filesystem using a Gluster FUSE mount. It provides support
46 for the <command>get_real_filename</command> VFS call which enhances file access performance
47 by avoiding multiple expensive case folding lookup calls to detect the appropriate
48 case of an existing filename.
52 Furthermore, this module implements a substitute file-id
53 mechanism. The default file-id mechanism is not working
54 correctly for gluster fuse mount re-exports, so in order to
55 avoid data loss, users exporting gluster fuse mounts with
56 Samba should enable this module.
60 This module can be combined with other modules, but it
61 should be the last module in the <command>vfs objects</command>
62 list. Modules added to this list to the right of the glusterfs
63 entry may not have any effect at all.
68 <title>CONFIGURATION</title>
71 A basic configuration looks like this.
75 <smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
76 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">glusterfs_fuse</smbconfoption>
77 <smbconfoption name="path">/absolute/path_of_fusemount</smbconfoption>
81 Note that <command>vfs_glusterfs_fuse</command> requires a Gluster mount. For accessing glusterfs directly
82 over the GFAPI library please use the <command>vfs_glusterfs</command> module.
87 <title>OPTIONS</title>
89 This module does currently have no further options.

104 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
105 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
106 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
107 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
