VFS_CEPH(8) System Administration tools VFS_CEPH(8)NAMEvfs_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.
CONFIGURATIONvfs_ceph requires that the underlying share path is a Ceph filesystem.
[share]
vfs objects = ceph
OPTIONS
