+
+	<para>This VFS module is part of the
+	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+	<para>The <command>gpfs</command> VFS module is the home
+	for all gpfs extensions that Samba requires for proper integration 
+	with GPFS. For this it utilizes the gpl-ed library interfaces provided by
+	GPFS team.
+	</para>
+	
+	<para>Currently the gpfs vfs module provides extensions in following areas :
+	<itemizedlist>
+	<listitem><para>NFSv4 ACL Interfaces with configurable options for gpfs</para></listitem>
+	<listitem><para>Kernel oplock support on GPFS</para></listitem>
+	</itemizedlist>
+	</para>
+	
+	<para><command>NOTE:</command>This module follows the posix-acl behaviour
+	and hence allows permission stealing via chown. Samba might allow at a later 
+	point in time, to restrict the chown via this module as such restrictions
+	are the responsibility of the underlying filesystem than of Samba.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>This module is stackable.</para>

+	<title>OPTIONS</title>
+
+	<variablelist>
+
+		<varlistentry>
+		
+		<term>nfs4:mode = [ simple | special ]</term>
+		<listitem>
+		<para>
+		Enable/Disable substitution of special ids on GPFS. This parameter
+		should not affect the windows users in anyway. It only ensures that Samba
+		sets the special ids - OWNER@ and GROUP@ ( mappings to simple uids ) 
+		that are relevant to GPFS.
+		</para>
+
+		<para>The following MODE are understood by the module:</para>
+		<itemizedlist>
+		<listitem><para><command>simple(default)</command> - do not use special IDs in GPFS ACEs</para></listitem>
+		<listitem><para><command>special</command> - use special IDs in GPFS ACEs. </para> </listitem>
+		</itemizedlist>
+		</listitem>
+
+		</varlistentry>
+
+		<varlistentry>
+		<term>nfs4:acedup = [dontcare|reject|ignore|merge]</term>
+		<para>
+		This parameter configures how Samba handles duplicate ACEs encountered in GPFS ACLs.
+		GPFS allows/creates duplicate ACE for different bits for same ID.
+		</para>
+		
+		<para>Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :</para>
+		<itemizedlist>
+		<listitem><para><command>dontcare (default)</command> - copy the ACEs as they come</para></listitem>
+		<listitem><para><command>reject</command> - stop operation and exit with error on ACL set op</para></listitem>
+		<listitem><para><command>ignore</command> - don't include the second matching ACE</para></listitem>
+		<listitem><para><command>merge</command> - OR 2 ace.flag fields and 2 ace.mask fields of the 2 duplicate ACEs into 1 ACE</para></listitem>
+		</itemizedlist>
+		</varlistentry>
