Sorry, but it took me a while to be able to get back to this. So I learned that my Samba installation was faulty and there was no way I managedto fix it, so uninstalled Samba and started it over using anothr cluster server. Installed Samba 4.8.3 using yum and compiled samba-4.8.3 to get vfs_ceph module following instructions from here: https://blog.51cto.com/evely/2432206?source=dra I have it set up and working and I followed you advice and shared a local directory to check if Samba was working. I can mount this directory from another machine but my Ceph share fails with this: " [2019/09/04 15:50:37.480465, 1] ../source3/smbd/service.c:655(make_connection_snum) make_connection_snum: SMB_VFS_CONNECT for service 'cephfs' at '/' failed: Connection timed out " My ceph section is as follows: [cephfs] create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 guest ok = Yes guest only = Yes kernel share modes = No oplocks = No path = / read only = No vfs objects = ceph ceph: user_id = samba.gw ceph:config_file = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf -- Salsa Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Thursday, August 29, 2019 1:37 PM, David Disseldorp <ddiss@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Salsa, > > The vfs_ceph "ceph: user_id" parameter specifies the CephX user ID > which Samba (via libcephfs) uses to authenticate with the Ceph > cluster.
