Martin / Wade,
Thanks for the response. I had a feeling that would be the case! I've been playing around with that approach anyway, glad to know that's the general agreement. Kind Regards, Alex.? ? ________________________________ From: Martin Palma <mar...@palma.bz> Sent: 15 December 2015 16:30 To: Wade Holler Cc: Alex Leake; ceph-users@lists.ceph.com Subject: Re: [ceph-users] recommendations for file sharing Currently, we use approach #1 with kerberized NFSv4 and Samba (with AD as KDC) - desperately waiting for CephFS :-) Best, Martin On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 11:51 AM, Wade Holler <wade.hol...@gmail.com<mailto:wade.hol...@gmail.com>> wrote: Keep it simple is my approach. #1 If needed Add rudimentary HA with pacemaker. http://linux-ha.org/wiki/Samba Cheers Wade On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 5:45 AM Alex Leake <a.m.d.le...@bath.ac.uk<mailto:a.m.d.le...@bath.ac.uk>> wrote: Good Morning, I have a production Ceph cluster at the University I work at, which runs brilliantly. However, I'd like your advice on the best way of sharing CIFS / SMB from Ceph. So far I have three ideas: 1. ??Use a server as a head node, with an RBD mapped, then just export with samba 2. Use a platform like OpenStack / KVM to host VMs that reside on Ceph RBDs - and use those to export filesystems (similar to 1.) 3. Use a the S3 functionality of the RADOS gateway in conjunction with tools like SoftNAS (https://www.softnas.com/wp/)? They all seem a little inefficient though, especially the 2nd option. Any help would be welcomed, I think it's an interesting problem.
