.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = ceph
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(8)
suite\&.
.PP
The
vfs_ceph
VFS module exposes CephFS specific features for use by Samba\&.
.PP
Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability, and scalability\&. This is a shared library allowing applications to access a Ceph distributed file system via a POSIX\-like interface\&.
.PP
This module can be combined with other modules, but it should be the last module in the
vfs objects
list\&. Modules added to this list to the right of the ceph entry may not have any effect at all\&.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.PP
vfs_ceph
requires that the underlying share path is a Ceph filesystem\&.
