I use cephfs over samba vfs and have some issues.
1) If I use >1 stacked vfs (ceph & scannedonly) - I have problems with file
order, but solved by "dirsort" vfs ("vfs objects = scannedonly dirsort ceph").
Single "ceph" vfs looks good too (and I use it single for fast internal shares),
but you can try add "dirsort" ("vfs objects = dirsort ceph").
2) I use 2 my patches:
https://github.com/mahatma-kaganovich/raw/tree/master/app-portage/ppatch/files/extensions/net-fs/samba/compile
- to support "max disk size" and to secure chown. About chown: I unsure about
strict follow standard system behaviour, but it works for me, without - user can
chown() even to root. I put first (max disk size) patch into samba bugzilla
times ago, second patch - no, I unsure about it correctness, but sure about
security hole.
