SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = glusterfs_fuse
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(8) suite.
13
14       GlusterFS (http://www.gluster.org) is an Open Source clustered file
15       system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. With its FUSE based
16       native client, GlusterFS is available as a POSIX compliant file system
17       and can hence be shared by Samba without additional steps.
18
19       The vfs_glusterfs_fuse VFS module provides an enhanced way to access a
20       Gluster filesystem using a Gluster FUSE mount. It provides support for
21       the get_real_filename VFS call which enhances file access performance
22       by avoiding multiple expensive case folding lookup calls to detect the
23       appropriate case of an exisiting filename.
24
25       Furthermore, this module implements a substitute file-id mechanism. The
26       default file-id mechanism is not working correctly for gluster fuse
27       mount re-exports, so in order to avoid data loss, users exporting
28       gluster fuse mounts with Samba should enable this module.
29
30       This module can be combined with other modules, but it should be the
31       last module in the vfs objects list. Modules added to this list to the
32       right of the glusterfs entry may not have any effect at all.
33

CONFIGURATION

35       A basic configuration looks like this.
36
37                     [share]
38                     vfs objects = glusterfs_fuse
39                     path = /absolute/path_of_fusemount
40
41
42       Note that vfs_glusterfs_fuse requires a Gluster mount. For accessing
43       glusterfs directly over the GFAPI library please use the vfs_glusterfs
44       module.
