Good Morning,

I have a production Ceph cluster at the University I work at, which runs 
brilliantly.


However, I'd like your advice on the best way of sharing CIFS / SMB from Ceph. 
So far I have three ideas:

  1.  ??Use a server as a head node, with an RBD mapped, then just export with 
samba
  2.  Use a platform like OpenStack / KVM to host VMs that reside on Ceph RBDs 
- and use those to export filesystems (similar to 1.)
  3.  Use a the S3 functionality of the RADOS gateway in conjunction with tools 
like SoftNAS (https://www.softnas.com/wp/)?

They all seem a little inefficient though, especially the 2nd option.

Any help would be welcomed, I think it's an interesting problem.


Kind Regards,
Alex.
