-
- <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. It uses the GPL library interfaces provided by GPFS.
- </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>
- <listitem><para>Lease 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>
-
- <para>Since Samba 4.0 all options are per share options.</para>

- <para>
- Enable/Disable usage of the windows attributes in GPFS.
- GPFS is able to store windows file attributes e.g. HIDDEN,

- <term>gpfs:refuse_dacl_protected = [ yes | no ]</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- As GPFS does not support the ACE4_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE NFSv4 flag (which would be
- the mapping for the DESC_DACL_PROTECTED flag), the status of this flag is
- currently silently ignored by Samba. That means that if you deselect the "Allow
- inheritable permissions..." checkbox in Windows' ACL dialog and then apply the
- ACL, the flag will be back immediately.
- </para>
- <para>
- To make sure that automatic migration with e.g. robocopy does not lead to
- ACLs silently (and unintentionally) changed, you can set
- <command>gpfs:refuse_dacl_protected = yes</command> to enable an explicit
- check for this flag and if set, it will return NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED so
- errors are shown up on the Windows side and the Administrator is aware of
- the ACLs not being settable like intended
- </para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>
- <command>no(default)</command> - ignore the DESC_DACL_PROTECTED flags.

- <term>gpfs:dfreequota = [ yes | no ]</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Adjust reporting of the size and free space of a share
- according to quotas. If this setting is "yes", a
- request for size and free space will also evaluate the
- user quota of the user requesting the data, the group
- quota of the primary group of the user and the fileset
- quota for the fileset containing the top level
- directory of the share.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- If any of the soft or hard quota limits has been
- reached, the free space will be reported as 0. If a
- quota is in place, but the limits have not been
- reached, the free space will be reported according to
- the space left in the quota. If more than one quota
- applies the free space will be reported as the smallest
- space left in those quotas. The size of the share
- will be reported according to the quota usage. If more
- than one quota applies, the smallest size will be
- reported for the share size according to these quotas.
- </para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>
- <command>yes</command> - include the quotas
- when reporting the share size and free space

- <term>gpfs:prealloc = [ yes | no ]</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- If set to yes the gpfs_prealloc function will be used in the
- fallocate callback when appropriate. If set to no gpfs_prealloc
- will not be used. In both cases the system and libc calls are
- avoided.
- </para>

- <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 MODEs are understood by the module:</para>
- <itemizedlist>

- <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>

- <para>
- Depending on the version of gpfs, the <command>libgpfs_gpl</command>
- library or the <command>libgpfs</command> library is needed at
- runtime by the <command>gpfs</command> VFS module:
- Starting with gpfs 3.2.1 PTF8, the complete <command>libgpfs</command>
- is available as open source and <command>libgpfs_gpl</command> does no
- longer exist. With earlier versions of gpfs, only the
- <command>libgpfs_gpl</command> library was open source and could be
- used at run time.
- </para>
- <para>
- At build time, only the header file <command>gpfs_gpl.h</command>
- is required , which is a symlink to <command>gpfs.h</command> in
- gpfs versions newer than 3.2.1 PTF8.
