12 This VFS module is part of the samba(8) suite.

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 existing 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
35 A basic configuration looks like this.

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.

53 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
54 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
55 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
