		CephFS specific features for use by Samba.
	</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>
