+
+       <para>
+               The <command>vfs_ceph_snapshots</command> VFS module exposes
+               CephFS snapshots for use by Samba. When enabled, SMB clients
+               such as Windows Explorer's Previous Versions dialog, can
+               enumerate snaphots and access them via "timewarp" tokens.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+               This module can be combined with <command>vfs_ceph</command>,
+               but <command>vfs_ceph_snapshots</command> must be listed first
+               in the <command>vfs objects</command> parameter list.

+
+       <para>
+               CephFS support for ceph.snap.btime virtual extended attributes
+               is required for this module to work properly. This support was
+               added via https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/38838.
