I don't think there is anything particularly special about exposing /cephfs (or subdirs thereof) over SMB with SAMBA. We've done it for years over various releases of both Ceph and Samba. Basically, you create a NAS server host that mounts /cephfs and run Samba on that host. You share whatever subdirectories you need to in the usual way. SMB clients mount from the Samba service and have no knowledge of the underlying storage.

Have you tried it yet? Maybe the upstream docs could adapt the SUSE docs, just an idea if there aren't any guides yet on docs.ceph.com.
