I simply haven't tested this yet. You might try exporting a kernel or fuse mount via Samba with AD and see how it goes. I'm expecting it will need to store Windows ACLs in xattrs with the acl_xattr VFS module, which is currently available in Samba, but I haven't yet tested this configuration. There will be an announcement here when a ceph-VFS layer is available. I hope that helps clear things up. > I don't know if I am right or not about what you said. > Please correct me if anything is wrong. > > If the function of integrating with Windows AD is not ready yet. > May I know when this will work, please? > > Thanks~~~~^^ > > 2011/6/2 Brian Chrisman <brchrisman@xxxxxxxxx>: >> I have tested that Samba does work over a cfuse or kernel mount point. >> I only tested basic functionality via a dedicated user account (not AD). >> We'll soon be testing with AD and the acl_xattr VFS layer which stores >> Windows ACLs on each file in the filesystem under the 'user.NTACL' >> xattr as a blob. >> That's largely independent of the ceph VFS module we're preparing, >> which will keep this all in userspace. >> >> On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 7:33 PM, Sylar Shen <kimulaaa@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Dear Brian and Gregory, >>> Thanks for your information about samba of Ceph. >>> I am trying to use a Ceph client to mount Ceph DFS(/mnt/cephfs/) and >>> set up a samba server to share the mount point(/mnt/cephfs/) to >>> Windows 2008 AD. >>> (Yes, I would like to integrate Windows Active Directory with a samba >>> server which is also a Ceph client) >>> However, I encountered one problem while doing so......>< >>> I cannot write or upload files via samba although the read function is OK. >>> Originally, I think I can fix it by changing /etc/fstab/ settings >>> like......
