	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This VFS module is part of the
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para>
		The <command>vfs_ceph</command> VFS module exposes
		CephFS specific features for use by Samba.
	</para>

	<para>
		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.
	</para>

	<para>
		This module can be combined with other modules, but it
		should be the last module in the <command>vfs objects</command>
		list. Modules added to this list to the right of the ceph
		entry may not have any effect at all.
	</para>

	<para>
		<command>vfs_ceph</command> performs mapping between Windows and
		POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs). To ensure correct processing
		and enforcement of POSIX ACLs, the following Ceph configuration
		parameters are automatically applied:
	</para>
	<programlisting>
		<command>client acl type = posix_acl</command>
		<command>fuse default permissions = false</command>
	</programlisting>
</refsect1>

<refsect1>
	<title>CONFIGURATION</title>

	<para>
		<command>vfs_ceph</command> requires that the underlying share
		path is a Ceph filesystem.
	</para>

	<programlisting>
		<smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
		<smbconfoption name="vfs objects">ceph</smbconfoption>
		<smbconfoption name="path">/non-mounted/cephfs/path</smbconfoption>
		<smbconfoption name="kernel share modes">no</smbconfoption>
	</programlisting>

	<para>
		Since <command>vfs_ceph</command> does not require a filesystem
		mount, the share <command>path</command> is treated differently:
		it is interpreted as an absolute path within the Ceph filesystem
		on the attached Ceph cluster.
		In a ctdb cluster environment where ctdb manages Samba,
		<command>CTDB_SAMBA_SKIP_SHARE_CHECK=yes</command> must be
		configured to disable local share path checks, otherwise ctdb
		will not reach a healthy state.
	</para>

	<para>
		Note that currently <command>kernel share modes</command> have
		to be disabled in a share running with the CephFS vfs module for
		file serving to work properly.
	</para>

	<title>OPTIONS</title>

	<variablelist>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>ceph:config_file = path</term>
		<listitem>
		<para>
			Allows one to define a ceph configfile to use. Empty by default.
		</para>
		<para>
			Example: ceph:config_file =
			/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
		</para>
		</listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>ceph:user_id = name</term>
		<listitem>
		<para>
			Allows one to explicitly set the client ID used for the
			CephFS mount handle. Empty by default (CephFS uses the
			process id).
		</para>
		<para>
			Example: ceph:user_id = samba
		</para>
		</listitem>

	<title>VERSION</title>

	<para>
		This man page is part of version &doc.version; of the Samba suite.

	<title>AUTHOR</title>

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