NAME
vfs_ceph - Utilize features provided by CephFS
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = ceph
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(8) suite.
The vfs_ceph VFS module exposes CephFS specific features for use by
Samba.
Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide excellent
performance, reliability, and scalability. This is a shared library
allowing applications to access a Ceph distributed file system via a
POSIX-like interface.
This module can be combined with other modules, but it should be the
last module in the vfs objects list. Modules added to this list to the
right of the ceph entry may not have any effect at all.
CONFIGURATION
vfs_ceph requires that the underlying share path is a Ceph filesystem.
[share]
vfs objects = ceph
OPTIONS
ceph:config_file = path
Allows one to define a ceph configfile to use. Empty by default.
Example: ceph:config_file = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
ceph:user_id = name
Allows one to explicitly set the client ID used for the CephFS
mount handle. Empty by default (CephFS uses the process id).
Example: ceph:user_id = samba
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.2.0 of the Samba suite.
