There do exist vfs_ceph and vfs_ceph_snapshots modules for Samba, at least in theory.
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_ceph.8.html https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_ceph_snapshots.8.html However, they don't exist in, for instance, the version of Samba in the RHEL8 repositories. I don't know if any other distros include them in their repository versions of Samba, either. I also don't know how well they work, due to above mentioned absence. I was hoping the snapshots one existed in RHEL, but no such luck. -----Original Message----- From: Wyll Ingersoll <wyllys.ingers...@keepertech.com> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2022 4:49 PM To: Christophe BAILLON <c...@20h.com> Cc: ceph-users <ceph-users@ceph.io> Subject: [ceph-users] Re: SMB and ceph question No - the recommendation is just to mount /cephfs using the kernel module and then share it via standard VFS module from Samba.
