  33
  34         <para>
  35                 The <command>vfs_ceph</command> VFS module exposes
  36                 CephFS specific features for use by Samba.
  37         </para>
  38
  39         <para>
  40                 Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide
  41                 excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. This is a
  42                 shared library allowing applications to access a Ceph
  43                 distributed file system via a POSIX-like interface.
  44         </para>
  45
  46         <para>
  47                 This module can be combined with other modules, but it
  48                 should be the last module in the <command>vfs objects</command>
  49                 list. Modules added to this list to the right of the ceph
  50                 entry may not have any effect at all.

  53         <para>
  54                 <command>vfs_ceph</command> performs mapping between Windows and
  55                 POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs). To ensure correct processing
  56                 and enforcement of POSIX ACLs, the following Ceph configuration
  57                 parameters are automatically applied:

  66         <title>CONFIGURATION</title>
  67
  68         <para>
  69                 <command>vfs_ceph</command> requires that the underlying share
  70                 path is a Ceph filesystem.
  71         </para>
  72
  73         <programlisting>
  74                 <smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
  75                 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">ceph</smbconfoption>
  76                 <smbconfoption name="path">/non-mounted/cephfs/path</smbconfoption>
  77                 <smbconfoption name="kernel share modes">no</smbconfoption>
  78         </programlisting>
  79
  80         <para>
  81                 Since <command>vfs_ceph</command> does not require a filesystem
  82                 mount, the share <command>path</command> is treated differently:
  83                 it is interpreted as an absolute path within the Ceph filesystem
  84                 on the attached Ceph cluster.
  85                 In a ctdb cluster environment where ctdb manages Samba,
  86                 <command>CTDB_SAMBA_SKIP_SHARE_CHECK=yes</command> must be
  87                 configured to disable local share path checks, otherwise ctdb
  88                 will not reach a healthy state.
  89         </para>
  90
  91         <para>
  92                 Note that currently <command>kernel share modes</command> have
  93                 to be disabled in a share running with the CephFS vfs module for
  94                 file serving to work properly.
