David Disseldorp 0cd44821f3 docs/vfs_ceph: add CTDB_SAMBA_SKIP_SHARE_CHECK=yes caveat
Mostly copied from the vfs_gluster manpage: the CephFS share path is not
locally mounted, which breaks the ctdb_check_directories_probe() check.

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This VFS module is part of the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
<para>
The <command>vfs_ceph</command> VFS module exposes
CephFS specific features for use by Samba.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
This module can be combined with other modules, but it
should be the last module in the <command>vfs objects</command>
list. Modules added to this list to the right of the ceph
entry may not have any effect at all.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>CONFIGURATION</title>
<para>
<command>vfs_ceph</command> requires that the underlying share
path is a Ceph filesystem.
</para>
<programlisting>
<smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
<smbconfoption name="vfs objects">ceph</smbconfoption>
<smbconfoption name="path">/non-mounted/cephfs/path</smbconfoption>
<smbconfoption name="kernel share modes">no</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>
<para>
Since <command>vfs_ceph</command> does not require a filesystem
mount, the share <command>path</command> is treated differently:
it is interpreted as an absolute path within the Ceph filesystem
on the attached Ceph cluster.
In a ctdb cluster environment where ctdb manages Samba,
<command>CTDB_SAMBA_SKIP_SHARE_CHECK=yes</command> must be
configured to disable local share path checks, otherwise ctdb
will not reach a healthy state.
</para>
<para>
Note that currently <command>kernel share modes</command> have
to be disabled in a share running with the CephFS vfs module for
file serving to work properly.
</para>

<varlistentry>
<term>ceph:config_file = path</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Allows one to define a ceph configfile to use. Empty by default.

Example: ceph:config_file =
/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>ceph:user_id = name</term>
<listitem>
<para>

process id).
