I was wrong, I'm not using fuse, but instead the kernel cephfs implementation.
That article considers vfs_ceph to be legacy, and instead recommends to use the regular mount, but then does recommend to install samba-ceph and gives a configuration that does not mention ceph at all.
What does the samba-ceph package do if you're not mentioning ceph in the configuration, does samba detect the filesystem is mounted through ceph act accordingly?
I guess I should just try both approaches and see which one performs best.
- jra_samba 5y agoTry using the "legacy" method, just to ensure you can get it working. Using "vfs objects = ceph" causes Samba to load a custom VFS module that translates SMB1/2/3 requests -> Samba VFS -> cephfs calls. That's why the share sets "path = /" (as it's not a local path) and then redirects all filesystem access via vfs_ceph.
