Actually, no -- vfs_ceph doesn't really perform better. Due to the fact that samba forks on new connections, each incoming connection gets its own ceph client. If multiple SMB clients are accessing the same files, they tend to compete with one another for caps and that causes performance to tank. Exporting a kcephfs mount with the regular vfs_posix allows the samba daemon to share the ceph client across connections and performs better in this scenario. This could probably improved, but we'd need to build a userland proxy of some sort to allow incoming vfs_ceph connections to share a ceph client. -- Jeff On Wed, 2021-04-14 at 10:19 +0300, Konstantin Shalygin wrote: > Hi, > > Actually vfs_ceph should perform better, but this method will not work with another's vfs's, like recycle bin or audit, in one stack > > > k > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On 14 Apr 2021, at 09:56, Martin Palma <martin@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > what is the currently preferred method, in terms of stability and > > performance, for exporting a CephFS directory with Samba? > > > > - locally mount the CephFS directory and export it via Samba? > > - using the "vfs_ceph" module of Samba? > > > > Best, > > Martin > > _______________________________________________ > > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx > > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
