Samba over CephFS

I wanted to use NFS to share data on the network, but Windows 10 still isn't able to use NFS ... what a joke.

So first mount CephFS (see previous article)

Then configure the Samba server

1. install samba server 

apt-get install samba

2. edit the configuration file

set the workgroup

add a samba share, for example

[photos]
        comment = photos
        read only = no
        path = /mnt/cephfs/nas/photos
        guest ok = no
 

2. configure users

I use the same setup users as the user on the windows machine

add the user :

adduser toto

setup its password: 

passwd toto

then add this user to Samba :

smbpasswd -a toto

then restart the daemon to take into account the config :

systemctl restart smbd
