<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_snapshots</command> VFS module exposes
CephFS snapshots for use by Samba. When enabled, SMB clients
such as Windows Explorer's Previous Versions dialog, can
enumerate snaphots and access them via "timewarp" tokens.
</para>
<para>
This module can be combined with <command>vfs_ceph</command>,
but <command>vfs_ceph_snapshots</command> must be listed first
in the <command>vfs objects</command> parameter list.
</para>
<para>
CephFS support for ceph.snap.btime virtual extended attributes
is required for this module to work properly. This support was
added via https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/38838.
</para>
</refsect1>

<title>CONFIGURATION</title>
<para>
When used atop <command>vfs_ceph</command>,
<command>path</command> refers to an absolute path within the
Ceph filesystem and should not be mounted locally:
</para>
<programlisting>
<smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
<smbconfoption name="vfs objects">ceph_snapshots ceph</smbconfoption>
<smbconfoption name="path">/non-mounted/cephfs/path</smbconfoption>
<smbconfoption name="kernel share modes">no</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>
<para>
<command>vfs_ceph_snapshots</command> can also be used atop a
kernel CephFS mounted share path, without
<command>vfs_ceph</command>. In this case Samba's default VFS
backend <command>vfs_default</command> is used:
</para>
<programlisting>
<smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
<smbconfoption name="vfs objects">ceph_snapshots</smbconfoption>
<smbconfoption name="path">/mnt/cephfs/</smbconfoption>
</programlisting>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>OPTIONS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>ceph:snapdir = subdirectory</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Allows for the configuration of the special CephFS
snapshot subdirectory name. This parameter should only
be changed from the ".snap" default if the ceph.conf
<command>client snapdir</command> or
<command>snapdirname</command> mount option settings
are changed from their matching ".snap" defaults.
</para>
<para>
Default:
<smbconfoption name="ceph:snapdir">.snap</smbconfoption>
</para>
<para>
Example:
<smbconfoption name="ceph:snapdir">.snapshots</smbconfoption>
</para>
</listitem>

<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
