** Summary changed: - samba-vfs-modules misses ceph vfs module + [FFe] samba-vfs-modules misses ceph vfs module
** Description changed: + Feature Freeze Exception justification: + + * samba currently has no build-dependency on libcephfs-dev. Thus, at + build-time, no cephfs support is detected and ceph support is not built + into samba. However, we ship man-pages that refer to that support, and + there is nothing in debian/changelog indicating this is an intentional + omission. + + * libcephfs-dev is in main as is libcephfs1 (the runtime dependency + that results for samba), so no component mismatches should exist. + + * Adding the build-dependency has been tested locally to generate the + correct .so file as mentioned in this bug. + + * Users expecting to use ceph with samba are currently surprised and + possibly confused by the mixed support, including a man-page that states + configuration optoins that will result in errors from samba. + + * This is not a feature change, but a feature introduction, so I do not + believe any regressions are possible, except if ceph support were + somehow buggy. But if that is the case, we would currently never find + this out or fix it ... This is also an issue for Debian and I plan on + submitting the same change so it should not introduce any delta. + + --- + Man page for vfs_ceph exists (/usr/share/man/man8/vfs_ceph.8.gz) but the module itself is missing. Should be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so - Defining a share using "vfs objects = ceph" results in + Defining a share using "vfs objects = ceph" results in "Error loading module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/vfs/ceph.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668940 Title: [FFe] samba-vfs-modules misses ceph vfs module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1668940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
