+
+ <para>
+ The <command>vfs_ceph</command> VFS module exposes
+ CephFS specific features for use by Samba.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide
+ excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. This is a
+ shared library allowing applications to access a Ceph
+ distributed file system via a POSIX-like interface.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This module can be combined with other modules, but it
+ should be the last module in the <command>vfs objects</command>
+ list. Modules added to this list to the right of the ceph
+ entry may not have any effect at all.
